Chess Lessons

My 10 years old son enjoys every single minute with Chess coach Joshua. Joshua's lesson is very fun and professional at the same time. My son become much more self-motivated and his chess skill is improving significantly. And besides the chess skill, the boy also learned a lot from his speaking and presentation. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone, especially lessons for your child.
Coach Joshua Schulman's reply
He’s become such a confident and eloquent conversationalist! So proud of your son’s development, Jian. Chess is indeed communication and learning to navigate the board and also life certainly go hand in hand!

Public Speaking Lessons

Joshua is an excellent public speaking coach and really knows how to engage with his students. I've only had two lessons so far and I already feel more confident about my speaking abilities. I've lived most of my life afraid of speaking thinking I was not good at it. Joshua assured me that speaking is a skill built over time and he can help me. The great thing is that you can practice doing speeches every week and you'll get feedback can Josh on what to improve on. After my first speech, Joshua gave me excellent feedback and has given me renewed confidence in my speaking abilities. You will not be disappointed if you hire him.
Coach Joshua Schulman's reply
Awesome, Rubin! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! You’ll get better and better each week!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Contact me to discuss. I have various pricing options. As a speech coach I work with children on the Autistic spectrum all the way to seasoned CEO’s and sales teams. So the prices vary for needs. Pricing is based on tailored programs particularly for your needs and often can accommodate various budgets using live or online modalities. Please note. Live face-to-face sessions are only in Southern California. But these days with COVID-19 all sessions are online with students all over the world. It works great! Like we're in the same room. Affordable and effective. You'll see!

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Initial consult to clarify and identify specific goals, then a weekly tailored syllabus will be designed for your private coaching or team training program. If qualified and sincere, I often will offer a free 60-minute session for absolute confidence in your trainer decision to work with me.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Extensive storytelling and performance value training with Drama and Theatre degrees from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the University of Southern California, as well as thirty years of corporate training sales management and sales training experience in addition to active competitive public speaking wins in over 40 speech contests including third place in the Regionals of the Toastmasters’ World Championship of Public Speaking. As an actor, I have performed in over 50 professional plays, had a professional Shakespeare company, a member of SAG/AFTRA for 36 years and have done over two dozen national commercials.
