I am a huge advocate for speech therapy. If you find a good fit *and put in the work,* you may very well find fluency. I wouldn't set any arbitrary timelines at this point. But it's not inconceivable ...

Thank you so much! Yeah, I felt I had to take the lead and get it over and done with by telling him at the beginning before he commences with the interview questions as I wanted him to feel assured th...

Yes. Presentations for example are the worst. When it would take a normal person a short amount of time to put something together and do a bit of improvisation, I’ve always got to rehearse, make sure ...

Wtf. This is some basic pedagogic shit (studied that). You never EVER associate performance with personality. You are not dumb, you made dumb thing. You can speak properly, this speach just wasnt your...

Maybe not an option but could you do it in a video thats pre-recorded? That way you only have to say a sentence or two...

I recently had two speeches in one day. The first gave me the top mark for research but like nothing for how I actually spoke, that teacher told to get counselling. The second teacher (bless his soul)...

Sorry this happened. This is the most frustrating feeling when you try to pick up some confidence and the teacher of all people says some shit like that? You shouldn’t have to explain yourself as you’...

I’ve felt that frustration before. When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a teacher who LOVED to do popcorn reading. Every time it was my turn to read I would stutter so bad I could barely finis...

Not an expert but my first thought I’d that you could have had some type of negative emotion that suddenly kick started you back into stuttering. It’s also possible that since you are new to college,...

I’ve taught middle school for 24 years. My stuttering had ranged from very mild to moments of complete blocks. Yeah, some kids will make giggle, etc. Use your stutter as a teachable moment. Kids all f...

Go for it. You will have a lot of empathy for all those introverted students who need a little bit of extra help :)...

I suffered from a stutter from the time I started learning how to speak. I started speech therapy in preschool and cycled through various speech therapists as I moved around. I went to psychotherapy f...

I think that also depends on the size of your class. Luckily, we have smaller study groups where we need to solve problems together, as opposed to sitting in a full virtual class of about ~30 people. ...

I was in a similar situation a couple years ago, most of the class doesn't care about anyones presentation, they just want the class to end so they can go to lunch/home. I had a bully in my class, eve...

Don't cut yourself short here. I do understand that it can be pretty scary for you to stutter in front of the class but here is the kicker, everyone will be worried about their own presentation inst...

Ironically, I had a really bad stutter, it's not anywhere near as bad now, but am able to work as an English teacher in Japan. Perhaps a job where you need to talk to people shouldn't be dismissed jus...

Are you me? I've also stuttered since 4 and currently in my 3rd year of chemical technology&engineering bachelor.....

I have my stutter under control a lot better now (was bad as a kid, went away, got way worse during puberty, went away, came back in college). I’m a teacher. I still stutter from time and time again...

Nothing specific, but I’ve on the spot to answer a critical question and I start stuttering on the answer. Many times in college, job interviews and in work the teacher or manager has finished what I...

Often you can just email your teacher and ask her if you can do it privately to her. Or just let you submit it via email. Believe it or not this has worked for me every time...
