Public Speaking Classes for Kids in Mumbai
with LAMDA Certification
School Grade 2 - 12
MUMBAI IN-PERSON CLASS
Public Speaking through Theatre
J’s Academy offers in-person public speaking classes for children in Mumbai, designed to build confidence, communication and presentation skills. Through guided practice in talks, debates, presentations and improvisation, students in School Grades 2–12 learn to express ideas clearly, organise their thoughts and speak confidently in front of an audience. Students can also work towards an optional LAMDA examination.
Students may take the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA) examination (optional) or an internal examination at the end of the programme. While highly recommended, this is an optional examination; those not taking the exam will have the same learning journey and an internal assessment. Every student will receive a J’s Academy certificate on completion of the programme.
Educators and practitioners interested in developing their theatre teaching skills can explore our theatre techniques and teacher training programme.
