Our Team

At The Speak Up Academy, our teachers are at the heart of everything we do. Each member of our team is carefully selected for their expertise, passion, and ability to inspire young people to feel confident, capable and ready for the world.

Our teaching team is made up of skilled educators, performers and youth development specialists with backgrounds in public speaking, drama, communication coaching and child development. Every teacher brings real-world experience and a genuine commitment to helping young people find their voice.

The safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority.
All teachers at The Speak Up Academy:

• Hold enhanced DBS checks
   
• Follow our safeguarding policies and best-practice guidelines
   
• Work to create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels seen, supported and encouraged
   

Our teachers use engaging, age-appropriate techniques to help young people grow their communication skills step by step. Whether a child starts out shy or already loves the spotlight, our team knows how to bring out the best in them with patience, enthusiasm and positive reinforcement.

We believe confidence is a lifelong asset. Our teachers are dedicated to nurturing character, resilience and self-belief, not just performance skills. Your child is supported by mentors who truly care about their progress both in and out of the classroom.
