I'm very thankful for this public speaking course. I didn't know what to expect from a public speaking teacher but I was really impressed by Mewis and the skills he has in speaking and creating a comfortable learning environment, and his ability to teach the underlying principles of each speaking skill to us. I learnt a lot about myself, about speaking and social interactions. I'm very grateful for this experience, and I think is beneficial for everyone!
