Our Milestones

2009 - Public Speaking academy was founded!

Our journey began in 2009 - the Public Speaking Academy was started by our Founder, Mr Darren Tay, with a vision of providing practical and professional training in the art of communication skills and public speaking in Singapore, and beyond. The Public Speaking Academy continued to gain international and local recognition, catering to the specific learning needs of our learners, with programmes ranging from weekly public speaking course for kids and adults to intensive boot camp/ masterclass to hone our participants’ repertoire of public speaking and communication skills.

2010 - We started the national public speaking competition

The Public Speaking Academy continues to contribute to community-building efforts by starting the inaugural National Public Speaking Competition - a national-level public speaking competition for young speakers in the elementary/primary/secondary school level. This continued to be a highly-anticipated annual competition, in fostering an environment for young speakers to meet and challenge themselves.

2016 - our founder clinched the world championship of public speaking

Darren Tay, Founder of Public Speaking Academy, clinched the top honour of the 2016 Toastsmasters International World Champion of Public Speaking, against more than 30,000 competitiors around the world (as the youngest and first Singaporean champion then!). Darren continues to apply the success-techniques for public speaking in the programmes with Public Speaking Academy (for kids, adults, corporate bodies, schools workshop!), to help individuals become systematically progress towards becoming a competent and confident public speaker.

2017 - Singapore’s Largest public speaking competition

As a leader in public speaking, Public Speaking Academy continues its community-building efforts, with our National Public Speaking Competition gaining the honour in the Singapore Book of Records as the largest public speaking competition in Singapore! This was an effort supported by the educational institutions, contestants, and the organizing team!

2018 to 2019 - we expanded our home!

From our humble beginnings at our SAFRA Tampines and Hougang Branch, our operations grew to cover more of Singapore as we expand to our Bukit Timah (Coronation Plaza) and Parkway Centre Branch. (Parkway Centre Branch has since merged with our expanded SAFRA Tampines Branch). This is part of Public Speaking Academy’s commitment to deliver quality public speaking courses and professional communication skills training to the wider community of speakers in Singapore!

2019 to 2020 - Public speaking goes online

2019 will be remembered as the year COVID-19 hits - as leaders in the industry, Public Speaking Academy continued to find ways to deliver public speaking training to our communicators out there. We ventured online and expanded to offer global programmes for those who were unable to join us in Singapore, leveraging technology, video-conferencing, and novel learning methodologies to deliver quality public speaking training.

WE help you ``EXPRESS TO IMPRESS``

At Public Speaking Academy, we train speakers and communicators to express themselves competently and impress others. We do this in multiple communication skills domains: Public Speaking, Negotiations, Persuasion, Debating, Inter-personal Communication Skills, Interviews, Linguistic Mastery, Enrichment and National Examinations (e.g., Project Work, Oral Presentation).

(Conducting Professional Communication Skills Training & Public Speaking Courses Since 2009)

Darren’s Methods Have Opened Up Multiple Opportunities For Me.

I wanted to overcome my fear of public speaking and become better at getting my ideas across to a large audience. After going through the training, I have been able to deliver impactful messages across various industry and startup conferences in Singapore, India and Sri Lanka. I have received sizeable press coverage and media recognition for my public speaking. Darren’s methods and practice sessions have really opened up multiple public speaking opportunities for me. Even with smaller audiences, it has enabled me to deliver better presentations and has helped make my messaging significantly more impactful.

The Structure Helps Me Be Equipped to Handle Different Situations.

Before I went to Darren’s public speaking training, my speeches or any impromptu times I need to speak I usually feel really insecure. Most of the times, I just speak whatever comes to my mind, usually appear all over the place. Now… I felt more confident when i have to speak in front of a crowd. The structure and tips help me be more equipped to handle different situations.

More Confident in Speaking & Expressing Myself As A Person.

I am more confident in terms of me speaking as well as expressing myself as a person. This has enabled me to meet up with different types of people and be more comfortable and be more aware of their body language when speaking to them. Generally, it has also opened up new opportunities in my life and made me a better person.

PSA of Mr. Darren Tay was discovered when it’s advertisement popped up on my FB home page and I thought to enroll my daughter, Malak, in 2020. Since then we have not looked back and continued the course for 2 whole years even though the duration is one year. Malak had stage fright prior to joining PSA. We love the way PSA classes are conducted with Kahoot games. She volunteers to do presentations in class which shows me how far she has come from the shy girl who always said no to go in front of an audience. Thank you Mr. Darren Tay and team for the guidance and training you give to today’s generation. Best wishes!

It was the most enjoyable course I have attended. I recommend the WCCP course to anyone interested in improving their public speaking or communication skills.

In addition to covering a range of speaking situations with practical techniques that can be easily applied, the real gem is the opportunity to practice the techniques in a very safe environment and to learn from each other.

I look forward to attending each lesson to practice and improve my communication skills.

Kudos to Constance and the team at Public Speaking Academy!

Axel Low

WCCP graduate

Enrolling myself in the World Champion Certification Programme (WCCP) was one of the best decisions I made thus far as it has shaped me into a stronger and confident speaker.
The routine of discovering and learning numerous speech styles and practicing them at the end of the lesson every week pushed me to think fast and be more succinct with my presentation, while retaining the key and significant points.
Needless to say, the guidance and support given by my coach, Mr Imran surely made the 12-week-long journey a pleasant one but he did not hesitate in giving me his constructive criticism and area for improvements whenever it was necessary. That was a quality I appreciated about him.
All in all, if you wish to hone your communication skills or simply explore the area of public speaking, PSA will not disappoint you!

Shivani Pandey

WCCP graduate

Before I started attending PSA’s classes, I was an introvert who had very Low self esteem. During my first class, I spoke with a lot of hesitation and swayed from side to side. However, after going though about a year of public speaking training, my became more confident in presenting and learnt how to speak confidently. Using hand gestures while speaking casually became very natural for me. This has allowed me to present well in school environments and communicate my ideas effectively. Plan to participate in the National Public Speaking Competition next year.

Mr Tay's classes are super effective and enjoyable. I looked forward to his lessons every week and it really helped me grow more confident and proactive as a person. He helped me to develop my public speaking skills and to present myself confidently in front of a big crowd. Today, I can even dance and act in front of big audiences! Thanks Mr Tay!

Sinead Wong

SEP (kids program) graduate

I think that this experience at the Public Speaking Academy was truly wonderful. I used to be shy and did not dare to voice my opinions, but now I am able to confidently share my thoughts. I learnt so many techniques (eg. PEEL, SLE ) and they have benefited me in many ways. I could pass majority of my interviews with these techniques. I would highly recommend to go for a class at the Public Speaking Academy!
