school presentations
COVID-19 UPDATE: I am available to do 30 minute Skype/Zoom Q&A sessions while school is virtual. Please contact me for my rates and availability. Stay safe and healthy.
I've had the opportunity to travel to different schools around the country, and I love meeting teachers and students. I have spoken to Grades 4-12 and can adjust my presentation accordingly.
30 minute presentation, followed by a 15-20 minute Q&A
My presentation focuses on how I fell in love with reading and writing, and couldn't stop telling stories—until I got to middle school. At that point, I was bullied about my writing, and I felt so embarrassed that I gave it up for many years. I tell students how I overcame those fears and rediscovered my voice—and I encourage kids to stick with their passions, despite worries that others might not understand.
To learn more about my speaking style and how I answer student questions, you can read this essay that I wrote in one of my monthly newsletters.
If you are interested in having me at your school, I would love to visit! Please email me at tae@taekeller.com for more information on my rates and availability.
