About Us

Our passion is to help children to become

CONFIDENT public speakers

Every child has a dream, every child has a voice, and every child is our future.

Slowly holding their hands, we guide them to speak confidently and express themselves on stage.

When they are on stage, they share with us their dreams, their voices, and their future.

Johan Speaking Academy presents our Signature Kids Public Speaking – Speaker Warrior Program, designed for children aged 5 to 17 years old. We are delighted to have touched the lives of many young speakers through our programs.
