TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
Quinn brought up your Ted Talk, and we both watched it together. Impressive! The next morning, she woke up and asked me if I thought she’d ever be a persuasive speaker. I said most definitely. Then she went on to say that she has a need to persuade people to do something about our environment. That we are killing ourselves. She felt it was her duty. Heavy stuff for a just- turned 10 year old! She is a passionate person, and I’m not sure where she will take this, but I feel it is because of you and your Ted Talk that this was inspired! I feel quite lucky that she has enrolled in this class this year and that you are her teacher. She really enjoys it and you! Thank you for what you do for these kids. I truly appreciate it.

We would also like for Shaivi to continue pursuing the debate and speech class/ club in a structured way. Please help guide me to where I can inquire about this within Guru or recommend others. Will you be teaching any more classes in the area? If so, kindly do pass the information along to me as well.
