" I used to be terrified of public speaking, but after taking the public speaking and debating course offered by Raymond, I feel confident and prepared to speak in front of any audience.

The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and the course material is engaging and informative.
Highly recommended! "

" I reached out to Raymond to
help me with my public speaking
as I was planning to give a
TEDx talk.

He’s very approachable, and I could share my hesitations with him without thinking twice. He gave me pointers on how to lighten the mood with a joke or two, depending on the idiosyncrasies of the situation. "

Andy, High School Student
