Power of Words Academy moves to Online Virtual Classrooms

I received some news the other day that I thought you'd be really excited about. That is, I got into public speaking provincials with my school! Only 4 speakers could be chosen to represent the school and I'm so beyond thrilled that I'm one of them! There are 4 areas in which I am preparing for: Persuasive; Impromptu; Interpretive reading and Debate. Just thought It would be a little bit that lightens up your day :) ... Show More

So impressed with the service and offering by Power of Words Academy especially through this challenging time. They offered their programs online in a small group setting and my child really enjoyed the Debate Camp. He was highly engaged and found it to be interactive, fun and inclusive. All of the technology worked without issue and the teachers did a great job keeping the campers motivated and enthusiastic. Thanks Power of Words ... Show More

I kept hearing great things about Power of Words from so many other parents in my neighbourhood so enrolling my son was an easy decision. We just started the summer enrichment program and it's been such a worthwhile experience already - my son is actively engaged in the virtual classes, he's picking up new concepts quickly, and the teacher is amazing - her lessons are well-planned, she provides timely & relevant feedback, and cares about the success of her students. Highly recommend for parents who are looking to fill in learning gaps and give their kids a boost when it comes to language comprehension, writing and speaking skills ... Show More

My daughter ---- is in the grade 2-3 group with Lithiya. I need to let you know what a wonderful job I feel she is doing with this young group. I’m not sure if she is a teacher in the school system, but her ability to capture their attention for 2 hours is unreal. I wasn’t sure what type of program this would be when I registered her, and I didn’t quite understand what ----- would get out of this course. I’ve been so pleasantly surprised with the outcome of this course, and the way it is being taught. I honestly feel that Lithiya should teach countless teachers how to teach a class with zoom. It’s an art that many teachers can not master. I feel she has complete control of her class, or so it seems to me, and the children seem to be very motivated. The reason why my daughter is interested and eager to improve, is because of the method of this teacher. ---- is able to ask as many questions as she needs, as there is an open dialogue of discussion, and she’s encouraged by the other children (and her teacher) to focus and work. The struggles ----- faced with the March-June shut down was because she didn’t have the constant access to her teacher (and questions) as she does now with this course. Usually ----- isn’t motivated with English, and writing was her weak point. With this course, I don’t need to beg her to do the homework and she is excited and proud with the stories she is creating. I’m not sure if all your staff are like Lithiya, but from what I can see, she is so motivating, respectful, creative and very kind. I love how she praises the kids and is excited when they get the answers correct. Thank you for providing this course to these kids in the summer time. I am quite sure that once this course is complete we will register her for another one when time allows ... Show More

Hafsa and team, I just wanted to send an email that my daughter, ------, is finishing debate camp today. I have to say that she was truly reluctant to join this camp but I asked her to try it out for me. I'm delighted to say that she really found the camp enjoyable, lots of laughter and smiles every day with the activities that were planned, including allowing them to choose what topics to debate, playing Spyfall, and learning about some introductory concepts in debate. Thanks for running a great camp ... Show More

Just checking in and wanted to thank you and Ms Clements for the wonderful opportunity to learn grammar and practice writing these past few weeks.

It is really wonderful to see all the progress and confidence ——- has gained since May last year. I'm not sure if he mentioned it to you but he was voted as his class valedictorian at Windfields (due to the pandemic, each class voted for their own valedictorian). He gave a speech to his class with four other nominees and the class voted for him! We were ecstatic to find out that he had the confidence to submit a speech and present it to the class. He's come a long way! It's a great start to high school ... Show More
