"Thank you for taking such care with your holiday programmes our son loves attending each holidays."

"Your holiday programmes are quality programmes where our children learn important life skills -we love coming back."

Marcus Dad of Year 6 student

Since my son was in junior school, he has been learning speech and drama with Ten Feet Tall. Nowadays, effective communication skills are essential everywhere. Now that he is in middle school, he continues to work on public speaking. Throughout his process, he has become very confident when speaking on stage. I hope my son understands the structure of independent thinking skills and is confident on stage no matter now at school or in the future when he is at work. Ten Feet Tall's founder Sarah is experienced, very positive and enthusiastic. She can inspire and motivate our children effectively. I would recommend Ten Feet Tall based on my son's improvement.

Fiona Hu

The first time we heard about Ten Feet Tall was through the Kristin School curriculum. It was a very fun course and taught by Sarah Hartley. She is vibrant and passionate and she brought a lot of confidence to my son as he was a bit of anxious to present or preform his poem to the other person. He made big progress, I was so pleased. Thanks to the Ten Feet Tall Team! You guys have done such a wonderful job. For both my son's we have been looking for classes that can develop their writing skills for their speech & debate such as punctuation, grammar, vocabulary. Also, a clear and slow voice for our youngest.  The greatest benefits from Ten Feet Tall classes have been: confidence, communication skills and creativity. I would recommend these classes to family & friends who have children who want to improve their communication skills, boost their confidence, and enhance their creativity.

Tracy Zeng

We first heard of TFT through word of mouth.  Numerous other parents in my oldest child’s cohort spoke so positively about the benefits of TFT that we decided to enrol her and this is now her fifth year attending TFT lessons.  Our youngest child has also been taking lessons for two years and both children absolutely love their lessons.  We hoped TFT would give our daughters the skills to communicate confidently in all settings whether that was a poetry recital, a school assembly or even amongst their peers in the classroom. There have been numerous benefits including confidence in communication, understanding how to structure a speech, how to prepare for a debate, understanding how to give a prepared reading with pauses and emphasis, learning how to identify the beats in a character piece and understanding your character’s motivations.  In short, both my children have gained skills they would not have learned in the classroom and which are highly beneficial. I would highly recommend TFT classes to any parent who is looking to encourage their child’s confidence in speaking and performing in front of an audience (large or small).  If your child needs positive encouragement or shows any inclination towards public speaking or performance, then TFT is right for them.  TFT teachers always communicate the positive aspects of any child’s performance and provide constructive feedback for improvement. 

Nicole Cox

We first heard about Ten Feet Tall back in 2018. I spoke with parents and they highly recommended the programme for fostering confidence in public speaking. All three of our children have benefited from Ten Feet Tall in their own unique ways. They have all developed their performance and improvisation skills, oral and written communication skills and experienced successes throughout the exams, ultimately building self confidence. Sarah and her team have always demonstrated patience, professionalism and such care and compassion with our children. We are grateful to have had the opportunity for our children to be a part of this programme and hope they continue into their school years, developing lifelong skills. We would recommend Ten Feet Tall to any parent who is hoping to provide their child with a valuable skill set that can be applied in many facets of school life and beyond. Thank you for all your efforts and support over the years.
