Presenting research at conferences and meetings

Presentation training

  • In a one-on-one meeting, at a location convenient for you, you will be coached by an experienced presenter to polish your English presentation skills
  • Your native English-speaking trainer will evaluate and provide feedback on your current strengths and on areas for improvement
  • During the private consultation session, you can ask your trainer about any specific presentation strategies you are concerned about and discuss changing any wording that you find difficult to say
  • You can choose to have the session video recorded: you and your trainer will analyze your presentation skills from the video recording during the session, and you will receive the media file for your review after the session
  • Practice your Q&A skills: your trainer will explain different strategies for handling Q&A, including dealing with problems
  • You can immediately put into practice what you have learned by giving your presentation a second time and handling simulated Q&A
  • Examples of customizations
  • Before the presentation coaching session, you can have us edit your slides and script (and any handouts) to ensure that you practice an error-free presentation that can be easily understood by your audience
  • Combine with an audio recording of a native English speaker presenting your oral script, so that you can practice your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation at your leisure
  • Our specific Voice Coaching Service is designed to help non-native speakers of English who regularly make important speeches and presentations in English to focus on improving their pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm of speech in general
  • Learn easy techniques to help you feel more confident in speaking and to help your audience understand your message clearly.
