Shop is derived from “workshop”. We take pride in offering “performance” courses; meaning, “you have to do it to learn it”. NO boring lectures please. DRILLS and PRACTICE EXERCISES will immerse the student in particular skills. We believe in the MASTERY OF SKILLS THROUGH PRACTICE. However, we do not discount the importance of rules being the foundation of skills. In our center, they will be used, not relegated to the pages of a book, not just stored unutilized in the back of the mind.

The TALKSHOP is a WORKSHOP where the student is spontaneously steered to develop his skills and shape his personality. This is The TALKSHOP. We are all about words, language, cultureand personality. We can give you the most effective and yet simplest tools to guarantee your professional and personal progress.

The Talkshop specializes in program designs that are geared to help individuals develop their personality and advance their career opportunities.

We help young talents stretch their skills in writing and speech presentation thus paving the way for students to compete in the national level and place first in competitions like the Palanca Awards.

On The Endeavors

The TALKSHOP also conducts Public Seminars / Private Coaching / Corporate Training of all courses. Any program, to be effective, must suit the particular needs and level of a group or individual. Therefore, need-evaluation is required before the center enters into an agreement with any company or person. A short, initial meeting and guided discussion guarantees the maximum efficiency of the course. Participant/s may be classified according to level 1 (Basic), Level 2 (Advanced) and Level 3 (Synthesis). Synthesis courses, courses, such as those being offered in the center, are the intensive blending of the two levels.

A Synthesis class is limited to 5 students to ensure personalized attention and commensurate interaction. Students are entitled to a discounted review of their enrolled course/s. Supplementary materials are given to the student every meeting.
