What Is the Cost to Hire a Public Speaking Coach?

Our team of associate instructors consists of expert speech coaches with flexible scheduling and diverse educational backgrounds. For specialized expertise, you can hire a lead or senior instructor. We also offer scholarship sessions as they're available.
Begin with a free 15-Minute Phone Consultation
New York Speech Coaching is accepting new clients interested in improving their speech. If you wish to ask questions about the training or discuss your speech concerns with your instructor prior to beginning sessions, we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure your comfort with moving forward.
Scheduling Sessions
If you would prefer to get started immediately you can begin by booking a session. Your first session is the same rate, but the structure is slightly different. The instructor will perform a series of diagnostic exercises and provide a thorough evaluation. After discussing and prioritizing your needs, you are then able to dive in with exercises to get your speech on the right track.
Questions to Ask When Choosing a Public Speech Coach
Speech training is a highly personal service, and New York Speech Coaching is committed to making clients feel comfortable embarking on this new experience. To get the most out of your private instruction, corporate training, or group session, it helps to get to know your instructor ahead of time. We offer pre-training 15-minute phone consultations with our instructors so you can choose the right instructor for your purposes.
You can select from our tiers of instructors to find a coach who fits your budget. Upon speaking with them, you can discuss scheduling to ensure your schedules will be a good fit. Ask what services they can offer and about the kinds of exercises they provide to practice outside of your sessions.
With organizational factors out of the way, you can get to know potential instructors on a more personal level. Ask about their background as an instructor. Do they have experience coaching individuals or groups with your particular needs? The New York Speech Coaching team is prepared to help all clients confidently present their authentic selves.

Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
New York Speech Coaching practices a 48-hour Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy.
Clients are welcome to cancel or reschedule a session with more than 48 hours' notice.
Rescheduling requests within 48 hours are treated as cancellations. Sessions cancelled or rescheduled within 24 hours of session start time results in a charge of the full session fee. Sessions cancelled or rescheduled within 48 hours of session start-time results in a charge of $50 fee per hour of cancellation.
Please only commence with training at New York Speech Coaching if you feel completely comfortable with the terms of the cancellation policy. We respectfully ask that you not inquire about exceptions, as we are unable to waive the fee as per our agreement with instructors and in fairness to other clients.
We hold our instructors to the same policy. If an instructor cancels a session within 48 hours, the client will receive a $50 discount on their next session. If an instructor cancels a session within 24 hours, the client will receive their next session free.
Inclement Weather Provision (for in-person sessions): The safety of our students is of course our first priority. We seek to balance that with the common and unpredictable weather during the winter. If public transportation systems are not running in New York City proper (the 5 boroughs) due to the weather, the session will be conducted virtually. If public transportation systems in New York City proper are running, sessions may still remain in person, and the cancellation policy will remain in effect. Fees explained in the cancellation policy will only be waived when there is closure of NYC transit due to weather and virtual sessions are not an option. If New York Transportation is running, but you are in an area where you are concerned about your travel, we suggest pursuing an online session instead. This is an excellent option during blizzards!
