I am a student at Highest Speak and has been such an influential part of my life. Ive been attending the classes for a few years now, and I never get bored of them! The content is fun and engaging and the instructors helpful and so very funny! Mrs Bahri and Mr Yeager will always have a joke to brighten the mood. These classes have helped me become a better and more confident speaker, which help me so much when I give pitches and presentations at school and other events. My favorite camp is the storytelling camp because we learn how to speak with emotion and expression while also working on our creative writing skills. Everything I've learned and will learn in Highest Speak will never leave my mind, and I highly HIGHLY recommend doing any of the fun camps to be a confident speaker and improve!

This camp has taught me so many valuable lessons not just in public speaking but in day to day life. Before I started going to this camp I used to be very bad and nervous talking to crowds and big groups of new people. But as I started going to these camps I learned so much and it was very straightforward right to the point. I notice as we progressed throughout the week me and my peers advance so much in a span of one week was completely different from what we started I highly recommend trying this camp out the teachers are very nice and friendly and sometimes even funny so give it a shot because it nots just reaching you how to speak to big groups but even simple one on one conversation.

Highest Speak has been amazing for my daughter. She attended classes in middle and high school and I have seen a lot of improvement in her over the years due to her formal training. She recently got an opportunity to give a TEDx talk at a privately organized event and I was so happy with the way she delivered her talk. I attribute her success to Mrs. Bahri and the entire team at Highest Speak! I would encourage parents to sign up your kids for classes at Highest Speak as early as elementary school to get a head start and boost their confidence!

My daughter had an awesome time during summer break! Storytelling and Baby Shark Tank were the highlights of her experience. She absolutely loved the three-week summer camp, and we only wish it had been longer. The teachers and assistants put so much effort into making every day fun and engaging. Their dedication is truly remarkable, and we’re so grateful for everything they do. We can’t wait for the September classes to begin!

My 9-year-old children attended the Highest Speak public speaking camp last week, and they absolutely loved it! Every day, they looked forward to attending and couldn't wait to share their new experiences and skills with me when they finished. It is wonderful to see them developing such essential communication tools at this age that will undoubtedly benefit them throughout their lives. Ms. Bahri shared videos and pictures with all the parents, which was a fantastic touch that helped us truly understand and see exactly what the students were practicing in class. My children enjoyed the camp so much that we honestly don't mind the long commute from Maryland each day. In fact, we’ve already registered them for another week! I highly recommend this program to any family looking to build their children's communication skills and confidence.
Ms. Bahri is the best! I wish I could give her 6 stars! My daughter has gained so much confidence in public speaking, presenting, and organizing her thoughts clearly. She is incredibly patient, encouraging, and supportive, and makes every session enjoyable and engaging. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a public speaking, debate, or presentation coach for their child!

Highly recommend Highest Speak! My 10 and 7 year old are both enrolled, and it is genuinely the only class they love attending. You know the dreaded “how was it?” question that every kid avoids answering? When it comes to this class, my son especially loves to answer it. He'll recount everything in detail, always sharing something an instructor said, that he found absolutely hilarious. I feel so fortunate to have found a class that is both educational and genuinely fun for them. Sign your kids up! You won’t regret it.

My son has been attending classes at Highest Speak for the past few months now and he has been really enjoying it! The instructors are all very engaging and passionate about what they teach and they take the time to truly understand each student. If you ask them about your child’s progress or bring up any concerns, they are able to give you thoughtful and detailed feedback, which shows me that they are paying close attention to each and every one of their students. Both my son and I have been very happy with our experience so far and would definitely recommend them to other families!

We absolutely love Sumedha! My 14-year-old son took a class last year with Highest Speak, and he still talks about the difference those few weeks made in his confidence and the way he communicates. Sumedha provided thoughtful feedback after every session and went to great lengths to tailor her instruction to each student’s unique strengths and areas for growth. More recently, my daughter was preparing for several college interviews, including a 30-minute panel interview in front of college professors and board members. Sumedha met with her one-on-one to coach her through potential questions and help her refine her delivery. My daughter initially struggled with nerves and tended to speak too quickly, but the transformation in just two weeks was incredible. Sumedha offered detailed, actionable feedback, assigned exercises to reinforce skills at home, and kept communication open whenever we had questions. She consistently went above and beyond each scheduled session. Thanks to Sumedha, my daughter now has lifelong techniques and confidence that will serve her well in every interview to come.
