VSA Future Public Speaking Builds Confident, Bold Students

Sign Up Now!

POWERFUL PUBLIC SPEAKING MAKES HISTORY

Some of the world’s greatest historical figures are remembered by their speeches — think Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream,” or Gandhi’s “Do or Die.” Their oratorical prowess speaks to the power of public speaking: How a good speech can stir up raw emotion, draw an audience to your side, and compel a crowd to act.

PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR SUCCESS

At VSA Future, we recognize how strong public speaking skills can pave the way for successes big and small. Our courses help students tap into their strengths as communicators and prepare for milestone interviews in their academic and professional lives.

VSA Future Public Speaking Presentation

5 PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASSES AVAILABLE

This school year, we’re offering weekly Public Speaking classes at five levels. Students can enroll beginning as early as 2nd grade, and students must complete one level to move onto the next.

MASTER EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION SKILLS

At each level, students project their voices, hold effective eye contact, and make their presence known, whether in person or through the computer screen. Our innovative program teaches students to effectively argue a strong stance, be persuasive, and hold an audience rapt with any topic they choose.

CULTIVATE A BOLD PRESENCE

As students progress through the courses, they’ll learn how to master intentional body language and hone their presentation skills. With the fundamentals down, our students will write effective, persuasive speeches of increasing complexity, become deft at improvisational talks, and cultivate a strong stage presence.

How Students Become Confident Public Speakers — VSA Future Public Speaking Program

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, AND PRACTICE

Each class runs for an hour weekly. Students analyze videos of famous speeches, drawing upon those examples to bolster their own skills. During interactive practice sessions, students receive detailed feedback from passionate teachers who model appropriate techniques. Peer feedback is an equally important component of class. We also ask students to practice on their own time with the tools and techniques they pick up in class.

VSA Future Public Speaking Online Learning Center: Grade 3

PERFORM FOR AUDIENCES IN REGULAR RECITALS

These practices culminate in a public recital every three months, where students deliver the talks they’ve worked meticulously on each semester.

FIND YOUR VOICE AND DEVELOP CONFIDENCE

Our Public Speaking courses push students to find value in their voices and develop confidence as learners who can articulate and discuss their ideas with classmates, teachers, and other adults. These vital skills will carry your child far outside of the classroom.

VSA Future Global Speech Series

职业舞蹈家给孩子分享成长经验

Friday, August 19, 11:15AM-12PM EDT

很多孩子把跳舞,体操当作一种爱好在学,甚至每周化很多时间排练,希望朝专业方向发展。

那一个职业舞蹈者的职业生涯是怎么样的?

职业舞蹈者需要哪些成功因素?为什么”Kindness” ”与人为善”竟然是成功的一个重要因素?

为什么17岁进了大学Pre-Law 专业,半年后毅然决定放弃,选择专业舞蹈家?

为什么31 岁又决定重返耶鲁校园学习另一个专业?

这周五是VSA 全球演讲的最后一场,也是最精采的一场。我很荣幸请到Ms Magen, 现耶鲁大学大一的学生,来和我们分享她的成长过程。

在昨天我们釆排讲座时,我深深地被她对跳舞的热爱和愿意分享这十几年职业生涯的酸甜苦辣所感动。希望这讲座能让孩子从小思考:我需要培养什么心理素质在发展我的兴趣爱好。

Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension Strategies to Make Learning Fun and Memorable

Vocabulary is an essential component of language and having a rich vocabulary helps children not only to read well but to understand what they are reading. It makes speaking, writing, and overall communicating effective. The larger their vocabulary, the more they are able to fully understand the text from word problems, literature as well as the contents of words they encounter in everyday life. Building a robust vocabulary is a skill set that children must master in order to find success in their academic careers and beyond. However, many public schools have strayed away from teaching strictly vocabulary lessons.

Enhance Your Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension

Reading scores have been low nationally for quite some time and research has shown that children who do not master vocabulary well by the 4th grade remain poor readers for years to come. Old vocabulary lessons, and unfortunately the most common method still used in public schools today, consist of drill assignments where students worked mostly independently on words throughout their week. This gave vocabulary learning a reputation for being boring and ineffective and relied mostly on memorization rather than truly developing a skill.

VSA Future aims to cultivate a well-rounded set of reading and vocabulary skills in students that will enable them to succeed as learners, thinkers, and writers, and do it in a way that is fun, engaging and most importantly memorable. VSA has developed a summer reading comprehension and vocabulary program that uses a scientific approach to help children master vocabulary through reading while building connections between Greek and Latin roots. The program uses various methods to help children fully participate with their teachers and peers and keeps their attention through exciting and interactive lessons they will not forget. Classes for the VSA Future Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary classes are held Monday and Wednesdays over the summer and last 2 hours.

Enhance Your Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension
VSA FUTURE LLC

VSA Vocabulary brings language to life in daily classes. The class learns to use Greek and Latin roots to categorize unfamiliar words based on its function and part of speech, and they build connections to other age-appropriate vocabulary based on word roots. Studying word roots opens children’s eyes to new words, making vocabulary mastery easier, faster, and more enjoyable. With a rich vocabulary, students become stronger writers who can articulate their ideas clearly and effectively.

VSA Reading Comprehension gives students a firm understanding in fiction and nonfiction analysis, as they examine perspective, voice, tone, and writing structure in discussion and multiple-choice questions. With daily practice across a range of texts, students become fluent critical readers who can confidently approach any passage with ease.

“I have 3 elementary school age children in 1st, 3rd and 5th grade. Thanks to VSA Future’s online learning, they are ahead of their school curriculum and have become more confident academically. VSA Future pays great attention to each of the students and puts in extra resources and efforts to ensure the quality of online learning. VSA utilizes multiple advanced technologies and online learning tools for students to have instantaneous interactions. As a result, kids are very engaged during the classes and they get extra homework and practice time to reinforce concepts. Most importantly, the quality of teachers from VSA are top-notch and very experienced to inspire each individual to learn and improve. Thank you VSA Future and teachers! You are the best!”

VSA FUTURE TESTIMONIALS

The remote learning experience with VSA Future is GREAT! I thought remote learning would be very challenging when I first heard about it—if it is challenging for adults to work from home, how could VSA Future manage so many kids at the same time? However, I am happily surprised—the classes have gone very well. Academically, we got the same classes and learning plans without any disruption. I appreciate that my son has extra learning opportunities, and I now have some time to do my personal work, instead of turning on the TV to entertain him when I am busy. VSA Future teachers are so supportive and dedicated. The Director calls every parent before class if their kids forgot the class or are late. Now it is a new routine for my family. Keep learning and growing and save commute time with VSA Future. Do not spoil me, I am getting used to this new learning model!

—Parent, 3rd Grader

I have three kids. VSA Future offers a variety of course selections to fit the needs for each of my child. The teachers and staff are great to work with. My kids have been enjoying the classes. They have learned and developed so much on many different skillsets from English, Math, Reading & Writing and Public Speaking. I was not sure if the remote learning would work out. Turns out that my concerns are totally unnecessary. The director has done an amazing job for the virtual class. My kids did not feel much difference. The online class is definitely a saver for us during this challenging time! Really appreciate the flexibility VSA Future has offered. Kudos to the director and her staff for being flexible and good quality of classes! Given the current environment where the on-site camping is not realistic, I am very excited that the center offers virtual camp! Another great help just in time for working parent. It keeps them busy and they will continue to learn! Can’t wait to join the camp. Really appreciate for all the center has done for us!

—Parent, 4th Grader, 7th Grader, and 10th Grader

A VSA Future teacher has been tutoring Andrew for almost one and half years. We can clearly tell in the past year, Andrew made lots of progress on his reading, writing, and speaking. More importantly, he is more confident in expressing his ideas especially in front of his classmates and teachers. With his well-prepared curriculums, the teacher made class interesting and easier. For example, poem writing is a hard topic for students. But under the teacher’s guidance, with carefully analyzing sample poems, learning the techniques on rhyming and organizing stanzas, Andrew really enjoyed writing multiple decent haikus and sonnets by himself. Also students’ tutoring progress is well-communicated with parents. After every class, we will receive a summary on the class content, student’s general performance, and assignments, etc, so we know exactly what part Andrew is doing well, and what part he needs to work harder. Andrew has been very happy working with the VSA Future teacher and we really appreciated the teacher’s great help to Andrew. Thank you so much!
