One Day, Your Child Will Need To Speak Up

..and you won't be there to do it for them.

Whether it's making friends, answering questions in class, standing up to peer pressure, or speaking confidently in front of others...


The ability to communicate is one of the most important skills a child can develop.


And in a world where AI can increasingly replace knowledge and technical skills, the ability to think, connect, and express ideas with confidence becomes even more valuable.


Imagine If This Was Your Child...

Watch Our Speaker’s Journey from Staying Quiet to Speaking with Confidence.

In 10 years, your child becomes a young adult facing the real world. 

Will they SPEAK UP or SHRINK?

Your Child Shouldn’t Stay Hiding and Running from Public Speaking

Holding On to Their Fears

Will Limit Their Potential


You will keep worrying about them,

and feel helpless in what to do when they:

❌ Feel small and afraid |  They suppress their minds and hearts out of fear of expressing their true emotions.

❌ Missed opportunities | They dare not to speak their mind.

❌ Are trapped in their cycle of fears until adulthood | They are scared to make mistakes, not good enough, and unable to speak up in meetings and presentations.

❌ Remain a follower | They do not speak up.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Let’s Grow Out of Their Comfort Zone!

Most people fear public speaking more than we fear dying.

But...what if we could grow from feeling fear to being bold?

FEAR

BOLD

You can empower your child and take action to help them grow!


They will:

✅ Feel proud to express themselves | Grow their confidence as a speaker.

✅ Speak up with courage | They can grab the opportunity to share their thoughts fluently.

✅ Grow with fear | Fear may be present sometimes, but it doesn’t stop them from speaking up.

✅ Speak up anytime and anywhere | They strongly believe in who they are.

✅ Becoming a leader | They can stand up for themselves and speak up bravely.

You can take action today to help them grow.

The identity of a communicator shows how real communication is built inside a child.

A child communicates powerfully only when 3 parts of them work together:

How They SEE

Their mindset & beliefs - Shape how they think about speaking.

How They FEEL

Their heartset - Passion and purpose that give meaning to their voice.

What They DO

Their skillset - The practice and techniques that strengthen how they speak.

When a child starts to think with clarity, feel with intention and act with skills, they step into the outcome.

RESULTS

A natural presence, grounded confidence and the powerful essence of who they are when they communicate.

Testimonials

Let's Hear from the Parents!

It takes a community of supportive parents, build the voice within each child.

Let's hear from our loving parents and children!

Both my boys went through Hankidz Leadership and Speak2Lead programmes. They basically grew up in Hankidz and I’ve seen them grown to becoming amazing boys who is caring, outspoken, confident, bold and wider perspective. My sons conquer their fears, learnt to build connections and find their own voice and purpose. I strongly recommend Hankidz to any parents out there looking for a place for their children to belong, find inspiration and find their identity.

(Mum of Ian, 13 & Owen, 9)

- Speak2Lead Graduates

I am very happy with this speaking school. The coaches are friendly, supportive, and make every lesson enjoyable. They help students build confidence in speaking and improve communication skills step by step. The classes are well organized, interactive, and suitable for children. I can see great improvement in my child's speaking, pronunciation, and confidence. The environment is positive and encouraging, which makes learning easier and more fun.

I highly recommend this school to parents who want their children to become confident speakers.

(Mum of Sheshavan, 6)

- Speak2Lead Graduate

What really stands out about this speaking school is how passionate and caring the coaches are. They’re not just teaching - they genuinely pay attention to each child’s individual growth and identity.

Even with a decent class size, you can still see how much focus is given to every child. The personal touch makes a big difference - from the private messages and follow-ups to the constant words of encouragement.

They truly go the extra mile, caring not just about the child’s speaking journey, but also their overall well-being and emotional growth, both at home and in school. Really appreciate the effort and heart the team puts into this.

Let's Hear from Our Speakers Themselves Too!

"The challenges I face sometimes is that I feel nervous and I get scared. (Now) there's a lot of difference in my confidence and the way I speak. (I could feel that) when I gave the speech for my teacher's farewell ceremony"

Danial, 11

- Speak2Lead Student

"Before I join the class, I felt very very nervous. When someone asked me to speak, I don't want to speak (like when I buy something). Now I can speak better already, still feel nervous sometimes but now I can do it. 现在我没有那么紧张了 (I'm not so nervous anymore) because I share more in Hankidz."

Jong Weng, 11

- Speak2Lead Student

"At first when I started Hankidz I used to feel very shy and didn't want to share a lot. Now I am sharing almost most of the time. I feel my growth has improved a lot."

Lavinah, 9

- Speak2Lead Student

"When I first started I was a little bit like shy and playful! The word we always hear is confidence and you (coach) also teach us the PREP method (to speak spontaneously). I think I improved on my essence (speaking with emotions) too." 

Jee Fung, 9

- Speak2Lead Student

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What makes Hankidz Speaking School different from other public speaking courses?

    Most public speaking courses focus on speeches, presentations, and on-stage performance.


    At Hankidz, we believe speaking is not just a stage skill, it is a life skill.


    Our programmes are designed to help children become confident communicators who can:

    • Express their thoughts and opinions clearly
    • Build meaningful connections with others
    • Speak up with confidence in everyday situations
    • Think independently instead of relying on scripts
    • Develop courage, self-assurance, and authentic self-expression

    Beyond teaching presentation techniques, we focus on developing the Identity of a Communicator, which helps children think clearly, feel deeply, and express themselves authentically.


  • My child is very shy. Will this programme be suitable?

    First-time students are invited to the first 2.5-hour Speaker’s Workshop session:

    • Your child will experience the workshop, the coaches’ guidance, and the learning environment. They will be learning about the foundation of self-confidence before proceeding to the longer-term program.
    • The coaches will assess your child’s progress (strengths, areas to improve, what’s next for them as a speaker), learning style, and suitability.
    • Following the session, we will meet with parents to update them on the student’s progress.

  • My Child Is Already Confident. Is This Programme Still Suitable?

    Yes!


    Many parents assume this programme is only for shy children. While we do help shy children become more confident, the programme is equally valuable for children who are already confident and outspoken.


    Confidence is only one part of communication.


    Children who are already confident can continue to develop:

    • Clearer thinking and self-expression
    • Stronger listening and connection skills
    • Leadership and influence
    • Empathy and social awareness
    • The ability to communicate with purpose and impact

    Courage to stand up for what they believe in

    At HANKidz, our goal is not simply to help children speak more. Our goal is to help them become confident communicators who know when to speak, how to speak, and why their voice matters.

    Whether your child is shy, confident, quiet, or outspoken, there is always room to grow.


  • How Can I Know If My Child Is Suitable for the Programme?

    We invite all first-time students to attend our 3-hour Speaker's Workshop, which serves as both an introduction and a discovery experience.


    During the workshop, your child will:

    • Experience our coaches, teaching approach, and learning environment
    • Learn foundational confidence and communication skills
    • Participate in fun and engaging activities designed to encourage self-expression
    • Build confidence through guided speaking opportunities
    • At the same time, our coaches will get to know your child better, including their communication strengths, growth areas, learning style, and current confidence level.

    Following the session, we will meet with parents to share:

    • Your child's strengths and potential
    • Areas for growth and development
    • Observations from the workshop
    • Recommendations for their next steps

    This helps parents gain a clearer understanding of where their child is today and how we can best support their confidence and communication journey moving forward.

  • What's the Difference Between Speaker's Workshop and Speak Up Quest?

    Both programmes help children build confidence through communication, but they are designed for different purposes.


    Speaker's Workshop (3 Hours) - Learn the Skills of Speaking

    Speaker's Workshop is a fun and interactive introduction to public speaking.

    Children learn and practise key communication and speaking skills through games, activities, and guided speaking opportunities. It is especially suitable for children who have had limited speaking exposure or are new to speaking in front of others.

    Through the workshop, children will:

    • Learn foundational speaking skills
    • Practise speaking in a supportive environment
    • Gain exposure to presenting in front of others
    • Build confidence through guided experiences
    • This workshop focuses on helping children become more comfortable and capable when speaking.

    Speak Up Quest (3 Hours) - Build the Confidence to Use Your Voice

    Speak Up Quest is designed for children who need a confidence boost in speaking up. 

    Through engaging activities, challenges, and guided experiences, children discover that confidence is not about being perfect; it is about having the courage to speak up, express themselves, and be heard.


    Children will:

    • Step outside their comfort zones in a safe environment
    • Build self-confidence through meaningful experiences
    • Develop the courage to express their thoughts and opinions
    • Learn to overcome the fear of making mistakes
    • Discover that their voice matters

    Rather than focusing primarily on public speaking techniques, Speak Up Quest focuses on helping children develop the confidence and mindset to speak up!


  • Which One Should I Choose - Speaker’s Workshop or Speak Up Quest?

    Both programmes are designed to help children build confidence and communication skills, but they focus on different areas of growth.


    ✅ Choose Speaker's Workshop if your child would benefit from learning foundational speaking and communication skills in a supportive environment.


    ✅ Choose Speak Up Quest if your child would benefit from building the confidence and courage to express themselves, speak up, and step outside their comfort zone.


    Not sure which programme is the best fit? 


    Feel free to reach out to us, and we'll be happy to recommend the most suitable option based on your child's needs.


  • Why do parents trust Hankidz?

    Over the past 13 years, Hankidz has worked with more than 50,000 children from different backgrounds, personalities, learning styles, and confidence levels.


    From children who are shy and hesitant to those who are already comfortable speaking, this experience has taught us an important lesson: there is no single method that works for every child.


    Children learn, grow, and gain confidence in different ways.


    That is why we developed the GRACIE Methodology — a holistic approach that combines multiple elements to support a child's confidence and communication journey.


    G – Gamification

    Learning through fun, engaging, and meaningful experiences.


    R – Role Modelling

    Children learn by observing and interacting with positive role models.


    A – Affirmation

    Building self-belief through encouragement and recognising growth.


    C – Coaching Skills

    Guiding children through questions, reflection, and personalised support.


    I – Integrated Learning

    Helping children apply confidence and communication skills across different situations and environments.


    E – Exposure

    Providing opportunities for children to practise, experience, and grow beyond their comfort zones.


    The GRACIE Methodology is the result of years of working with thousands of children and continuously refining our approach based on what truly helps children grow.


    Rather than relying on a single teaching style, we combine multiple approaches to meet children where they are and support them in becoming confident communicators.


  • Is There Any Parental Involvement in My Child's Speaking Journey?

    Yes.


    For lasting transformation to happen, children, coaches, and parents all play an important role.


    While coaches guide and support children during class, parents help reinforce their growth beyond the classroom. When children receive consistent support from both coaches and parents, they often grow in confidence and communication more effectively.


    Throughout the programme, parents will have opportunities to be involved through:

    • Speaker's Showcase Day – Witness your child's growth and celebrate their progress firsthand.
    • 1-to-1 Progress Review – Understand your child's strengths, growth areas, and next steps.
    • Parent-Coach Activities – Gain practical tools and insights to support your child at home.
    • Parent-Child Activities – Create meaningful opportunities to connect, communicate, and grow together.

    By being involved in your child's journey, you will be able to witness their growth firsthand, understand what they are learning, and reinforce the same principles and language at home.


    Together, this creates a consistent and encouraging environment that helps children develop greater confidence, stronger communication skills, and the courage to express themselves.



  • How Many Students Are There in Each Class?

    Each class is capped at 15 students to ensure every child has opportunities to participate, practise, and be heard.


    With a 1:5 coach-to-student ratio, our coaches can provide close guidance, meaningful interaction, and personalised support to help each child grow in confidence and communication skills.


    That's why our programme is designed as a long-term growth journey rather than a short-term course!
