Every parent dreads the phrase, “Do I have to?” especially when it’s about a class you paid for. That’s why PlanetSpark was such a surprise. My daughter never wants to skip her sessions. In fact, she reminds me when it’s time.

This isn’t just another online class. It’s her favorite part of the day.

When we first started with PlanetSpark, I assumed it would be like other online programs—rigid, scripted, and too screen-heavy. But this was different from the first session. Her coach spoke to her like a friend. She was encouraged to speak freely, tell stories, and even act out characters. My daughter was smiling and laughing throughout the class.

1. It’s Fun and Creative Every class feels like a game. One day she’s creating a superhero speech, another day she’s debating whether aliens should live on Earth. Once, her teacher challenged her to sell a pencil to a dragon. The blend of creativity and real-world speaking skills is genius. And because it’s so imaginative, she never feels like she’s being “taught.”

2. It’s Her Safe Space She’s allowed to make mistakes. Her mentor never interrupts, criticizes, or corrects her harshly. Instead, feedback is layered with praise, humor, and gentle suggestions. When she stumbles on a sentence, they laugh about it and try again. That emotional safety net has done wonders for her self-confidence.

3. It’s Real Growth Her confidence has soared. She now initiates conversations with relatives, volunteers in class, and has even started her own mini YouTube channel where she reviews books and explains school topics to friends. Her teacher once said, “She doesn’t just talk now—she owns the moment.”

4. Parent Involvement That Makes Sense What I also love is how PlanetSpark includes parents. I get video recordings of her speeches, progress reports, and even coaching tips. Her coach once suggested a bedtime speech game we now play every night. It's brought us closer and keeps the learning going beyond the class.

5. It’s Personalized The class content changes based on how she’s progressing. If she aces storytelling, they introduce debates. If she enjoys interviews, they give her mock journalist tasks. There’s no “one size fits all”—only what fits her personality.

After three months with PlanetSpark, my daughter isn’t just more articulate—she’s more confident, expressive, and willing to try new things. She even gave a thank-you speech at a family function last week, unprompted.

We’ve tried many online courses before. PlanetSpark is the only one where learning and fun come together so seamlessly. It’s more than education. It’s empowerment. And to my daughter, it’s a joy.
