Super Tutor
Marya is one of our best Public Speaking tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.
About Marya
With strong public speaking experience of over 30 presentations to professors, senior leaders, school age children and interns, I am excited to deliver the knowledge and feedback I have learnt in a structured manner.
I love teaching to keep a connection with the field, and have a chance to express my creativity with students, both children and adults alike. I want to make clear to students that there are many fields that public speaking holds value in, and its versatility is what makes the subject so fascinating. I have been an English tutor, and have experience carrying out mock interviews and being a STEM mentor, so I would love to continue the work I'm doing.

Languages in which the lesson is available :

I take a friendly and encouraging approach with all students, including those who may be afraid to ask for help or struggling in certain areas.
Having undertaken a variety of public speaking workshops and implemented my learnings to audiences from different demographics, I can cater workshops based on who the mentee needs to practise for.
What to expect:
The theory of the lesson is first taught, then there are plenty of chances for you to practice what you have learnt, after which feedback will be provided.
You'll have the opportunity to assess my demonstration of the 'before' implementing the rule we are learning, and the 'after', and clearly see the difference in how engaged you were.
Optional practice exercises are set and questions are always welcome inside or out of the session.
My current workshops follow a structured 7 session course:
Lesson 1 - Introduction, Nerves and Golden Rules
Lesson 2 - Voice, Body Language and Commanding the Room
Lesson 3 - Storytelling and Audience Engagement
Lesson 4 - Slides, Timekeeping, Handling the Unexpected
Lesson 5 - Answering Audience Questions, Feedback, and Group Presentations
Lesson 6 - Practice Clinic
Lesson 7 - Final Presentation & Celebration
Further lessons of course may be sought, but with the structured 7 above, you can expect a demonstrable difference in your confidence and coherence, and a reduction in nerves.
Lessons can be tailored to your specific needs, and you will receive detailed reports following each session on an overview of what we covered in the presentation, what we discussed, your strengths and areas to improve on, and general progress.

Perfect! This Tutor engaged well with my daughter.
Perfect! My daughter had a wonderful experience studying elocution online with Marya. Marya was patient, encouraging and highly skilled at helping build confidence and clarity in speech. The lessons were engaging and well structured and we saw noticeable improvement in both pronunciation and expression. I would highly recommend Marya to anyone looking to develop strong communication skills in a supportive environment. Thank you Marya

I highly recommend Marya because she is super friendly, patient and determined to bring the best out in other people.
I would like to recommend Marya for public speaking lessons. Having known her for over 20 years, I can honestly vouch for her dedication towards helping people become the best version of themselves. Marya is extremely patient, knowledgeable and overall a very good teacher who gives really strong advice and feedback!
Marya is the most supportive and patient tutor I have had. As a university student, you often feel lost due to the level of independence required, however Marya’s help provided clarity, structure, and reassurance during those challenging moments. She has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into something manageable and always ensures you fully understand before moving on. Her encouragement and dedication not only improved my academic performance but also boosted my confidence in my own abilities. I am genuinely grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate tutor.
