Questions parents ask

Frequently asked questions

Which ages do you teach?

7 to 13. Speak & Sparkle teaches children aged 7–13, in India and abroad.

How is the programme structured?

There are two levels: Basic and Advanced. They are based on skill, not age, and every student completes Basic before moving up to Advanced.

My child already speaks well. Do they still need Basic?

Yes. Basic builds the voice, clarity and structure habits that debate and other advanced skills depend on. Confident speakers usually polish these quickly.

Are the classes live?

Yes. Every class is live online and taught by Karishma Shah, so children can join from anywhere in India or abroad.

How long are classes and how often?

45 minutes, three times a week. Choose a Monday–Wednesday–Friday or Tuesday–Thursday–Saturday batch at 2, 3, 4 or 5 pm IST. The site shows each time in your own time zone.

Can children outside India join?

Yes. Classes are live online, and the site and booking form show every batch time in your local time zone.

My child is very shy. Will this suit them?

Yes. Classes begin with low-pressure games, and no child is asked onto the "stage" before they are ready.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The first class is a free trial, so you can see how your child responds before you decide.

What does my child need?

Three things: a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a quiet spot.

Is it one-to-one or a group?

Both. You can choose one-to-one personal classes, or a small group of just 2 to 4 children so every child gets plenty of time to speak.

What language are classes taught in?

English. All classes are taught in English.

What are the fees?

We share the fees personally after the free trial class, once we know which programme and format suit your child.
