The NEW Speaking Center at North Central College is available to provide students with one-on-one assistance in the preparation and delivery of individual and group presentations. Students can schedule a 30-minute session with trained student tutors for assistance with all parts of the public speaking process to become a successful speaker!
What we offer
In a relaxed environment, our tutors offer support and constructive feedback in all aspects of public speaking from writing your speech to delivering it successfully. Tutors are trained to assist in:
Topic selection
Research
Outlining
Integrating oral citations
Developing introductions & conclusions
Delivery (verbal & nonverbal)
Developing visual aids (Assignment, Conference, Poster Presentation)
Scheduling appointments early is strongly recommended to ensure there is ample time to edit and practice speeches before its final delivery. Cancellations must be made 12 hours in advance to allow other students to make appointments. Walk-ins are permitted should appointments be available.
Our attentive and patient trained tutors are eager to help with any and all speaking assignments. They major in a variety of subjects and offer a fresh perspective on assignments students bring to the Center.
