Speech coaches can help you practice and prepare for class discussions, presentations, comps talks, and other public speaking opportunities.

Speech coaches can also support you with:
- drafting, organizing, and revising a script
- tailoring your content for a particular audience
- effectively using PowerPoint, Keynote, etc.
- body language and eye contact
- persuasive impact
- fidgeting that could detract from your presentation
