UVU Public Speaking Lab

Instructions and Tutor Directory 

Please email jordan.makin@uvu.edu if you have any questions.

Why book with the public speaking lab?

Research at UVU has shown students who practice their speech with a trained tutor receive nearly a full letter grade better on their speeches than those who do not. Practicing beforehand will also help alleviate public speaking anxiety and help you present with confidence.

How do the appointments work?

Appointments this semester will be offered online and in-person. Follow the instructions below to book an appointment. Be ready to practice your speech at your appointment time. The lab will provide you with a feedback form that you will turn in to your class for credit. If your appointment is online, you will meet with your tutor via Microsoft Teams (information at the bottom of the page). If your appointment is in-person, come see us at CB 505 A, B, and C at your appointment time.
