Why should I come?

Presentations are an integral part of a career in business, and preparation is often a critical part of an effective presentation. Practice helps build confidence and polish your speech before the actual presenting day! Our staff will review your presentation based on a faculty accepted rubric and will offer suggestions as to how to improve. The results of practice and of taking advantage of free, qualified tutoring can allow students to produce stunning and strong presentations.

Group presentation for final exams?

From finding the best time or large enough space to meet, and then being sure to include well-worded transitions or the proper flow – we realize how difficult group presentations can be! Need to simply collect all of the PowerPoint pages together and practice parts? Presentation Coaching can help smooth these things out before it is too late. The center offers a very calm atmosphere where you can feel at ease to express your ideas and practice your presentation with your group and Peer Educator in one of our meeting rooms. Each meeting room is equipped with a large computer monitors, adjustable screens, and a white board for a collaborative environment.
