I’ve taught classes before and tutored and, honestly, when you put yourself in that situation you know full well that they will be amused with you. Children are childish. Even well-meaning and sensi...

Stuttering: Home Office vs. Office - Does Your Environment Affect Your Speech? Hi, everyone! It's me again with another question. Do you believe you stutter more while working at home or in the workpl...

No problem. I used to do that in my presentations but as I got more comfortable doing them given my line of work, I usually make headline bullet points which I read out with a small description undern...

Teenagers are still developing as people and are not mature. This is no consolation but the people laughing was nothing personal against you. You will remember it for a while but they won’t....

That sucks. Did you mention your stutter? I remember I lost marks for using umms and ahhs too much from the same teacher who let me present privately. I wish I mentioned that that was my way to help m...

I wish I had had a teacher like that. My one AP English teacher refused to let me do it privately and then when I stuttered during the class presentation she gave me a lower grade and noted the reason...
