Testimonials

My 13 year old daughter has been struggling with speaking in front of a room. Highest Speak has not only helped her with that skill, but also helped her develop socially! She has had so much fun in class with her fellow peers! I am already starting to see the difference! Signing her up for the Fall!

My kids just finished their summer camp, and they absolutely loved it! They took an Intro to Debate class and were so excited to go back every morning. The instructors were amazing—they made my daughter feel at ease and really encouraged her to find her voice. I was initially worried she might feel intimidated because she’s quite shy, but the supportive environment made all the difference. I can’t recommend this camp enough!

My son attended this public speaking camp over the summer, and I was genuinely surprised by how much he enjoyed it—especially since he’s usually hesitant to speak up in class. He keeps telling me how fun and engaging it was! The instructors did an excellent job creating a supportive and encouraging environment that helped the kids feel comfortable and more confident. This was exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for, and I’m so glad we found it!

Great program my son enjoyed! Caring and professional teachers. We will be back to learn more 🙂

Fantastic! My 13 year old is the typical middle schooler and didn’t really converse much with anyone except his friends. After private coaching with Highest Speak, he now actually has real conversations with us (his parents) and even other adults and doesn’t just talk in teen slang! He also very surprisingly enjoyed the sessions with the instructor. We loved how they adapted to where he was at vs. pushing a certain curriculum. Great program and very nice location. Great addition to Reston, VA!

Sumedha is an incredible coach. From the very beginning, she made me feel seen and supported. She helped me build my confidence little by little and pushed me to express myself more openly and authentically. I used to hold back or overthink every word, but now I speak with a sense of ease I didn’t think was possible. I’m so thankful for her patience, encouragement, and the way she helped me find my voice. Working with her has been such a meaningful experience!

My 9 year old daughter was petrified of speaking in front of large groups, Sumedha and her team were phenomenal in getting her out of her bubble. Overall it was a fun experience which has given her a ton of confidence!!

My high school son's least favorite activity is public speaking. Let me tell you, the energy and enthusiasm by the instructors in these classes made him feel more comfortable and confident despite not knowing anyone in the room on day 1. He got really good feedback to help him improve his speaking and presence. Can't wait to see his progress with more classes on college interviews and more! Convenient, great location in Reston.

Our children have a fun and engaging time at Highest Speak and look forward to going every week!

My son, Nicholas recently was part of public speaking at the HIGHEST SPEAK. We are really happy with the progress he has been making at school. He can’t wait to go back for his next classes, very soon!
I highly recommend this class, for all those kids who need help with being more confident.
Thanks a lot Highest Speak, and to all the instructors, but specially to Sumedha and John for changing my son’s life.

This is our 2nd year as the service provided by Sumedha, Lucy and John were invaluable in instructing my daughter to continue to push her out of her comfort zone and learn the value of effective communication. Thank you for the whole team making this into a wonderful experience!

My son had a great experience at Highest Speak. It seems he made a lot of good friends there and he began to truly enjoy the public speaking thanks to the experience. We will definitely come back for the next season!
