welcome to ten feet tall
Specialist communication coaching for Auckland children and teens.
Through Speech & Drama, Public Speaking, Acting and Debate, students build the confidence to speak, perform, think and communicate effectively — at school and in everyday life.
Every student speaks. Every class builds skills. Every term shows progress.
Find the Right Class for Your Child
Speech & Drama, Public Speaking, Acting, Debate or Confidence Club — which class is right for your child?
Select your child’s year level below, then tell us what they’d most like to develop. We’ll show you the programmes that could be a great fit.
What year is your child in?
Which learning pathway suits your child?
Two great ways to build confident communicators.
Both pathways welcome children who are quiet, observant or already confident. Not sure? Choose either pathway to explore the options.
What would your child most like to develop?
Choose up to 3.
Classes that could suit your child
These programmes develop the skills you've selected in different ways.
Confidence Club is being piloted at selected Auckland locations before expanding in Term 1, 2027.
Where Confidence Club is not yet offered, non-exam Speech & Drama and Public Speaking classes provide similar core skill development during Term 4.
Pilot locations include Oteha Valley School, Hobsonville Headquarters, Pinehurst School and Future School.
