See all FAQsWhat age groups do you teach?
We teach children aged 8-18. Our programmes are tailored to different age brackets to ensure content is age-appropriate and engaging. Younger children focus on foundational confidence, while teenagers work on advanced presentation, debate, and leadership skills.
How do online classes work?
All classes are conducted live online via a secure video platform. Children participate in speaking activities, group discussions, challenges, and workbook exercises. They only need a device with a camera and a stable internet connection.
Can my child join if they are shy?
Absolutely. Many children who join Podio Academy start out shy or reserved. The programme gently builds confidence in a supportive small-group environment, meeting each child where they are.
