Why S GAYA

What is different here.

Taught by a Distinguished Toastmaster

The DTM is earned, not bought: a full path of speeches, evaluations and leadership roles. Shakeel teaches the method he completed.

Two certified teachers, not one coach

Shakeel and Fauzia are both ESL certified; Fauzia is licensed to teach in BC. Second-language speakers are the rule in our rooms, not the exception.

Peer evaluation, in a safe room

Every speech gets feedback from the group as well as the teacher. Students learn to listen as carefully as they speak.

Built for young people first

The Young Speakers Forum exists because the hardest speech is the first one. Families see the change; three of them say so on this page.
