Presentation Tutoring returns to McGill after a successful pilot earlier this year.

Students can come at any stage of a presentation and get feedback on everything from content development, to visuals, to delivery, to managing anxiety. While people may be shy at first to talk about it, speaking anxiety is real.

Fortunately there are proven strategies to help people manage it our tutors are happy to share.

Check the link in our bio to book at 45-minute in-person presentation consult in November. Space is limited!
