Why People Choose Private Coaching
Public speaking can feel deeply personal. It’s not just about memorizing lines or projecting your voice. It’s about feeling ready to speak up and be heard.
That’s where one-on-one coaching comes in. It’s a space to:
Work at your own pace
Focus on your individual strengths and challenges
Get honest, supportive feedback
Learn in a way that feels comfortable and personalized
Many of our clients come to us after trying group classes or watching online videos, but still feel stuck. Private coaching gives you direct support and tailored strategies that meet you where you are.
Coaching in Toronto: What Are Your Options?
If you live in Toronto, there are two main ways to access one-on-one coaching through Stand Up and Speak:
1. Online Coaching
This is our most flexible option. You can work with your coach from home or office, using Zoom.
You will receive:
One-on-one guidance with a dedicated coach
Feedback on your delivery, tone, and structure
Coaching exercises tailored to your specific goals
A calm, professional environment without the commute
Online sessions are especially popular for people in downtown Toronto, North York, and East York, where travel time can be a barrier.
2. In-Person Coaching (Mississauga)
If you prefer face-to-face sessions, our in-person coaching is available just west of Toronto, in Mississauga. It’s about a 20 to 40-minute drive from most areas in the city.
You’ll work in a quiet, welcoming space designed for focused learning, away from distractions. Many of our one-on-one public speaking coaching clients in Toronto opt for in-person sessions when they desire an extra level of connection.

Who We Work With
Our coaching is designed for adults, professionals, and students who want to grow their confidence and communication skills. You don’t need to be preparing for a TED Talk; you need the desire to improve and the willingness to try.
We regularly work with people who are:
Preparing for a job interview or career change
Delivering a work presentation or leading meetings
Speaking at conferences or in front of community groups
Managing anxiety or stage fright
Looking to improve clarity and fluency in English
We also coach university students preparing for interviews or panel discussions. If you’re unsure whether coaching is the right step, please don't hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to talk through what might work best for you.
What You Can Expect from Coaching
Every session begins with where you are today, rather than where you think you should be. We build from there.
Depending on your goals, coaching may include:
Organizing your thoughts and building your message
Practicing delivery with guidance on tone, speed, and eye contact
Managing nerves through breathing and mindset strategies
Learning how to speak with clarity and confidence under pressure
Role-playing real-life situations like interviews or presentations
You don’t need to have experience. You need to come in prepared to give it a try. We’ll guide you step by step.
