You should tell the teacher. It's only fair he knows your situation. What he ends up doing with this information is up to him. We would expect a decent teacher to not penalize you for something yo...

I've always found if I can let people know I stutter beforehand or as soon as possible it's way better. I have a best man speech a few years ago and opened with it and it made it not a big deal...

I would either say before you begin or find some way to allow them to know before hand. If these are competent oral examiners with experience then they should be aware of stuttering as a uncontrollabl...

So you've never told them that you have a stutter? That sounds rough on you....

What's a "viva"? :) But yeah, sure, inform people if it makes you feel better. "Symphathy marks" should not be a concern of yours. You don't even have to mention it if it doesn't come up, but you can...

Is advertising your stutter before a viva acceptable?

Is advertising your stutter before a viva acceptable? I stutter wayyy less when if the person I'm taking to knows I stutter. Otherwise I end up trying my best to hide it which surprise surprise! just ...

You can’t get rid of your stutter. Yeah, I know, it sucks, we all wish we /could/ speak fluently, but that’s why we’re all on r/stutter, isn’t it?? Your speech impediment needs to be something you can...

Ya GOTTA make jokes about it. Your speech impediment needs to be something you can laugh at (instead of something you’re ashamed of and/or trying to hide). I learned to /own/ my stutter by introducin...

I would tell the professor beforehand, maybe at their office hours. Ask your professor if you can go first. You don’t want to be sitting and waiting letting the anxiety build. There is something to be...

I joke about it in client presentations whenever I have to present a longer script or something that requires a lot of reading. If I start getting stuck I'll usually hand it off to a colleague while j...

Do you disclose your stuttering before the start of the interview? That always helped me....

Disclosing

Disclosing I’ve never disclosed before and I have 2 presentations coming up in my classes (college student). What do I say?? I am so anxious about it, I don’t know how to go about disclosing that I ha...

I stutter over my name really badly. It's just one of those words unfortunately. So when I give presentations at work, I typically throw up an image of the waterboy and explain my situation in a light...

Does anyone have/make jokes about their stutters?

Does anyone have/make jokes about their stutters? I heard someone talk about joking about their stutter when introducing it to new people to not make it awkward, anyone have good lines they use?...

But you can't hide the stutter either so you might as well disclose the elephant in the room. I've had nothing but positive experiences after disclosing it in and it has boosted my confidence....

I've pondered over this quite a bit. My only worry is that in a profession like law, would the employer respond positively to such disclosure?...

Omg I do EXACTLY this!! I have close friends that will 'help' me speak if it gets bad by saying the word for me. If someone wants to finish my sentence and it's not meant maliciously please go ahead...

1. Own your stutter. Don't try to hide it. Tell people about it....

This is a HUGE step. I don’t know you, but I am so proud of you! I hope that you’ll continue your efforts to become comfortable telling new people that you stutter, because that will open so many door...

This is exactly why I encourage people to disclose before a presentation or interview. Very happy to hear you had a great time and did a fantastic job! ​ Now imagine if you hadn't disclos...
