Speech Hub Arvostelua 

Very engaging session, lots of great tips

We had Tom and Connor from Speech Hub run two public speaking workshops for the team at hyperexponential last week, and the feedback from everyone involved was incredibly positive.

The sessions were highly interactive and practical, with small group sizes that made it easy for everyone to get involved. They covered everything from managing nerves and preparing effectively, through to tone, intonation and how to land a message clearly whether you’re presenting live, to customers, or internally.

What really stood out was how engaged the sessions were. Tom and Connor balanced giving individuals tailored feedback while still keeping the whole room involved, and even within the two-hour sessions you could see a noticeable improvement in people’s confidence and delivery.

We ran this as part of our L&D investment across the business, supporting both customer-facing roles and colleagues presenting internally at company assemblies, and it was a great use of time.

I’d highly recommend Speech Hub to any organisation looking to build confidence and improve the quality of communication and public speaking across their teams.

Two short sessions have made a noticeable impact to how I think about communicating. Strongly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about how they come across and what they can do to ensure their messages land in a more impactful manner.

The public speaking training with Speech Hub was excellent!! The content was clear, practical, and engaging, and Tom and Connor created a relaxed environment that made it easy to learn. Best training I have done in years. Wish the session was longer!

I had a wonderful experience working with Tom as my speech therapist. He demonstrated exceptional skill in helping me reduce my Italian accent by focusing on key vowel sounds that make the biggest difference in English pronunciation. Even during video calls, Tom could expertly observe my mouth movements and provide precise corrections to help me achieve the correct sounds.

His targeted exercises were both practical and engaging, making it easier to practice and internalise the proper pronunciation. What I particularly appreciated was his modern approach - he even guided me on how to effectively use AI tools like Claude to explore English's many irregular pronunciation patterns and spelling inconsistencies.

Tom's expertise helped me understand not just how to pronounce sounds correctly, but also how to continue learning independently. I feel much more confident in my English pronunciation and have the tools to keep improving.

Highly recommend Tom for anyone looking to refine their English pronunciation with a knowledgeable, supportive, and innovative speech therapist!

I've learned many things from Connor. Still a long way of practicing, but I know the direction and my weaknesses.

Tom has worked with me on softening accent in the last 3months and the difference is clear. Tom is a patient Teacher and I have enjoyed learning from him. Thank you.

Tom and I have been working together for some time now and he has provided me with so many great skills. I have decided to embark on another course with him this year as I look to keep on top of how communicate and engage as it’s essential for my day to day role presenting to senior heads.

Connor has been fantastic! I’m currently working on improving my interview and public speaking skills for a variety of events, and I’ve already noticed a huge improvement after applying some of the techniques he’s taught me. His coaching style is supportive and practical, leaving me feeling prepared and confident for whatever comes next. I look forward to continuing to work with you, Thank you so much for all the help and guidance you’ve given me so far!

My close friend Elliot and I were given the honour of being best men, for our best friend. Connor gave us amazing feedback, firstly on our actual speech and the quality of the setup, and secondly our presentation, body language and approach to delivering it to the masses. Well, we got a standing ovation halfway through and it has been quoted as ‘the best best men’s speech, ever’ - cheers Connor, will remember it forever mate!

Working with Tom has been a total game-changer for me. My confidence in public speaking has gone from zero to who is this person?! in the best way possible. He’s got this relaxed, friendly vibe that immediately puts you at ease, but don’t be fooled—he knows exactly how to push you (gently!) to bring out your best.

We’ve worked on tone, emphasis, body language, all the good stuff and the difference is honestly night and day. I actually (almost!) look forward to speaking now, which is madness.

Tom’s just a genuinely nice guy who knows his stuff and makes the process enjoyable. Can’t recommend him enough.

Half way through a ten session course and already feeling the benefits

Tom is a friendly teacher that will guide you towards your goals.
Really patient teacher who also helped me with aspects of communications including body language, emphasis, and tone.

Tom is an exceptional speech teacher who demonstrates deep expertise and passion for his field. His ability to engage students, tailor lessons to individual needs, and create a supportive learning environment is truly commendable. Thank you, Tom, for your outstanding work and the positive influence

Connor is attentive, reliable and clearly knowledgeable. All sessions were insightful and fun. Annoyed I didnt solicit these services sooner. Highly recommend

Connor is a great tutor and is very well versed in both the practical and theory of speech.

Working with Tom has been great. I always struggled with my ability to emphasise words and the tone with which I speak, making things come across not that impactful.
Tom’s layered approach on vocal tone and ways to emphaise words has massively improved my ability to communicate and connect with people.
Highly recommended for someone struggling with similar things.

Connor (my coach) is very adaptive when structuring our sessions: he tailors them based on my up-to-date performance, and sometimes he changes tack during a session if he feels a different teaching style might benefit me to understand a particular point. This has been hugely helpful for me.

Moreover, he provides detailed and accurate feedback, and this has helped me to improve quickly over a relatively short space of time.

I had a week to prepare a presentation for a competition, and Connor helped me structure it all cohesively, including adding an attention-grabbing hook to the beginning, which worked really well on the day!
I was so nervous but Connor taught me breathing and visualisation techniques to manage my nerves, and they allowed me give my presentation confidently and calmly, which I hadn’t thought was possible.
I found the session incredibly useful and couldn’t have done it without it! Thank you so much!!

I have been working with Connor for several months now, the sessions are enjoyable and structured, and feel tailored to the areas we need to work on.

With Connor our main focus is elocution and a softening of my accent. This is where the passion for the topic and detailed feedback I receive make the lessons both rewarding and engaging.

There are exercises from the warm ups I use daily both before and during the working day, they act as a useful gauge to see where I am with my speech that day and give me confidence ahead of meetings and presentations.

Going forward I am excited about working with Connor and I can highly recommend his sessions.
