Noah is a passionate and dedicated coach who clearly loves what he does. I really appreciated his practical tips and the way he approached public speaking from multiple angles. He took the time to understand what was working for me and what wasn’t, and always adjusted based on my feedback. As such, each session felt tailored to my needs, which was super useful.
Another thing I enjoyed about the coaching sessions was that Noah always explains the reasoning behind each technique, which made a big difference in helping me improve.
All in all, Noah is approachable, thoughtful, and genuinely willing to help his students grow. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to build their confidence and overcome public speaking anxiety.
