From Camera-Shy to Confident – My Child’s Virtual Journey with PlanetSpark
Online learning has its challenges. My child, like many others, found it difficult to adjust to video calls, digital communication, and speaking into a screen.
Initially, he wouldn’t even switch on his camera. “It’s weird,” he said. I didn’t push him—but I also didn’t give up.
That’s when PlanetSpark came in.
His coach made him feel seen and safe. She began each class with a fun warm-up—sometimes a tongue twister, sometimes a joke. Slowly, he turned on the camera. Then he started waving. Then speaking. Then presenting.
In just 6 weeks, he went from mumbling off-screen to confidently leading a quiz game on camera.
But the growth didn’t stop there. PlanetSpark’s format makes virtual learning feel real and meaningful. Each class follows a personalized journey, with lessons on public speaking, storytelling, grammar, and vocal confidence. With each session, his comfort with digital interaction grew.
One of the unique features was video reviews. After each recorded speech, his mentor would review the playback with him, offering tips on where to pause, smile, or adjust body language. My son loved this part—he began observing himself not with embarrassment, but with curiosity.
He even started scripting his own intros for family calls: “Hi everyone! I’m your host tonight!” It became a game—and a skill.
The structured format helped too. Each week focused on a particular speaking goal—vocabulary expansion, impromptu thinking, facial expression. Small wins added up. And soon, his school noticed.
During a class Zoom presentation, he volunteered first. His teacher later called me and said, “He’s become one of our most expressive online presenters.”
I realized something important: screen confidence is the new stage confidence. And PlanetSpark helped my son master both.
What impressed me as a parent was also the digital discipline it cultivated. He now logs in early, checks audio, and ensures he’s camera-ready. He even corrects me when I fumble on Zoom! The platform taught him not just how to talk—but how to own his space, virtually or otherwise.
Today, he conducts peer presentations, shares story videos with his cousins, and has even started making short explainer clips for his school projects. It all began with turning on a camera.
PlanetSpark’s approach to virtual learning isn’t just effective—it’s transformational. It’s the difference between passive participation and dynamic expression. Online doesn’t mean impersonal—if done right. And PlanetSpark does it better than anyone else.
