Appointments

 

Schedule an appointment using our online scheduler

 

And remember ...

Take your time

Be realistic about how much time you will need, especially if you are working with a group.  A good rule is to make an appointment for twice the amount of time that it will take to deliver your presentation.

Come early ...

We're speech consultants, not miracle workers.  Come in at least two days before you give your speech.  That way you have time to make changes to your presentation.

... And come often

You'll get the most out of our tutoring expertise if we can focus on one thing at a time.  We can make follow-up appointments after your first visit.

Don't be camera shy

Sometimes seeing and hearing yourself is the best way to improve your delivery.  Bring a thumb (USB) drive or create an online email account (Gmail, hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) and we can give you a digital recording of your practice!

Bring stuff

Before your appointment, pack up the essentials-notecards, outline drafts, research, PowerPoint documents, a copy of your instructor's syllabus, the assignment description, chocolate chip pancakes-and bring them with you.  The chocolate chip pancakes aren't essential, but they couldn't hurt.

Remember to backup

If you want to project your PowerPoint slides, we recommend that you email them to yourself as well as bringing them on your USB.  You can hook up a laptop in one of our practice rooms but not the other.

Don't play favorites

There's nothing wrong with working with one of our speech consultants several times.  They are each equally qualified and helpful.  If you have seen one consultant twice or more, it might be time to get another opinion.
