Let me be honest—when I signed up my daughter for PlanetSpark, I had doubts from the very beginning.

It looked promising on the website, sure. Live classes, communication skills, personal coaches, fun activities… it all sounded great. But after the payment went through and we sat for the first class, I couldn’t help but think: “Was this really worth it?”

Because honestly, it didn’t feel like it.

The First Class: Underwhelming

Our daughter, Myra, is 9. She’s not super shy, but she’s not the kind to talk a lot either. She hesitates when speaking in public and avoids participating in school debates or recitations. That’s exactly why we thought PlanetSpark might help.

The first session started and she looked… bored. The class had warm-up activities, ice breakers, and basic speaking exercises, but it felt slow. Too simple.

After class, we asked, “How was it?” and all she said was: “It’s okay, I guess.”

I quietly opened the refund policy tab, just to check.

Week 1: Still Unsure

We stuck with it for the first week because we had already paid. I watched her attend a few more classes—she wasn’t uninterested, but she didn’t seem too excited either.

And I kept thinking, “Are we really paying for this? She’s just playing games and talking about cartoons.”

But my wife said something that changed how I looked at it:
“Maybe she’s warming up. Let’s give it time.”

So we did.

Week 2: A Tiny Shift

One evening, her coach gave her a task to create a short story with three random words. Myra picked “dinosaur,” “pizza,” and “homework.”

She wrote this silly, funny story about a dinosaur who eats her homework because it’s pizza-flavored. We laughed while listening. And then she said:
“Can I read it again but this time with actions?”

That was new.

She read it again—this time with hand movements and a louder voice. It wasn’t perfect, but it was hers. I smiled. My wife gave me that “See?” look.

Week 3: Building Confidence Slowly

By the third week, Myra had started using new words in her regular conversations. Words like “convincing,” “expression,” and “confidence.”

She once said, “I want to convince Dada to get us ice cream. I’m going to use my persuasive tone!”

We chuckled, but inside I was impressed.

Her PlanetSpark classes were clearly working—just not in an in-your-face way. It was happening slowly, naturally.

The Moment That Changed Everything

It happened during her school’s online class. The teacher asked, “Who wants to come up and share a few lines about your weekend?”

Usually, Myra never volunteered. She always stayed silent.

But that day, she unmuted and said: “I’d like to go.”

And then she spoke. A short, clear, and cheerful summary of her weekend at her cousin’s house. Nothing rehearsed. Nothing fancy. But she spoke without freezing, without mumbling, and with a smile.

I was stunned. So was her teacher. She even said, “Wow, Myra! That was lovely. I hope we hear more from you.”

That was the moment I knew we had made the right decision.

What I Liked About PlanetSpark

• Patient Coaches: They didn’t rush her. They didn’t force her. They gave her time and space to open up.

• Fun Format: Story games, speaking challenges, and little roleplays kept it fun and not like another boring online class.

• Real Growth: Her vocabulary improved, her confidence grew, and she started enjoying expressing herself.

• Positive Environment: She looked forward to the sessions because she felt heard and appreciated.

What I Wasn’t Sure About

• It’s Not Cheap: Yes, the classes are a little on the expensive side. Initially, I really questioned the value.

• Needs Some Parent Support: In the first few classes, I had to sit nearby to keep her focused and engaged. But after two weeks, she was doing it on her own.

• Slow Results: It’s not a magic formula. You need to wait and watch. If you expect results in 3 days, you’ll be disappointed.

Final Thoughts

Would I recommend PlanetSpark to other parents? Yes—but with one piece of advice:

Give it time. Don’t judge it after the first class. It took 2–3 weeks for us to really see a change in Myra—and when we did, it felt completely worth it.

I’m no longer looking for a refund. I’m looking forward to her next session.

Because now, when I ask her how class was, she says:
“It was fun. I nailed it today.”

And for a parent, that’s more valuable than anything else.
