Help your child speak up with confidence
— in class, with friends and beyond.
Skills grow through everyday practice. Mikavu gives students in grades 5–8 two live workshops each month on alternate weekends, lasting 90–120 minutes each including a break. Children practise speaking, listening and teamwork together, then take home a two-week guide with tiny, fun activities to try in daily life.

Look for small moments that make a big difference
Mikavu is not about turning a quiet child into a loud one. It helps each child express ideas, listen well, collaborate and recover from mistakes — in ways you can notice in everyday life.
Feel more ready to volunteer an answer or ask a question instead of staying silent.
Organise a thought and say it clearly during a presentation, project or conversation.
Listen, contribute and disagree respectfully without disappearing or taking over.
Receive feedback, recover from an awkward moment and make a clearer second attempt.
Children do not become confident because we tell them to “be confident.”
They need safe chances to practise.
Practice builds confidence. Every class is designed to create it.
Mikavu combines a clear learning path with live participation and simple parent updates, so the programme feels purposeful rather than like another screen-time lecture.
A clear learning path
Twelve skill themes cover communication, confidence, teamwork, critical thinking and leadership. Each month combines two live workshops with self-guided everyday practice between them.
Active, not passive
Small groups, games, roleplay and debate give children real speaking time. They do not simply watch the class — they take part in it.
Parents stay in the loop
After each live session, you receive one WhatsApp parent update and the next two-week practice guide: what we explored, simple activities to try and small moments to notice.
You do not need to decide from this page. Let your child try one live class first.

Public Speaking

Question, verify facts, and reason with evidence.

Generate bold ideas and shape them into real solutions.

A live session that carries into everyday life
Each workshop lasts 90–120 minutes, including a short break. This is the 90-minute core; longer sessions add another guided activity and reflection. We confirm the duration and both monthly dates before enrolment.

Take the skill home
Walk through the next two-week guide together, with simple examples and room for questions.
Learn together. Try it in real life. Come back and grow.
The alternate weekend leaves room to put the skill to use. After each live session, your child receives a clear guide for the next two weeks, with small activities that fit into ordinary family and school moments.
Notice & try
Start with a small version of the skill: ask a family member a question, listen to their answer or explain an idea in three sentences.
Use it your way
Try again in a familiar situation: take a turn in a conversation, make a polite request or help a group choose something together.
Share & build on it
Bring one moment, question or discovery back to the group. We reflect together and practise the next step.
Usually 5–10 minutes at a time. The guide is flexible: repeat a favourite activity, adapt it to your child or take a rest day. A parent update after each live session explains the focus and what to notice at home.

Why I started Mikavu
I've seen thoughtful children go quiet when a conversation moves fast, avoid raising a hand even when they know the answer, or struggle to explain an idea they understand perfectly. They do not need more pressure. They need a supportive place to practise.
That is why I started Mikavu: live workshops on alternate weekends, where children learn by speaking, listening, playing, presenting and trying again. Small everyday activities carry that learning into the next two weeks. The goal is not to change your child's personality. It is to help them express the ability that is already there.
Your child can try the class before you make any commitment. I believe parents should see the teaching style — and children should experience it — before deciding.

My child has become more confident and proactive since joining Mikavu's life skills classes. I highly recommend it to all parents.— Yash Patel, parent
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to book the demo?
No. The live demo is free, and the form does not ask for payment details. After the class, you decide whether the programme feels right for your child.
Is Mikavu only for shy children?
No. Quieter students can practise speaking up, while confident speakers can learn to organise ideas, listen better, collaborate and handle feedback. The aim is effective communication, not a louder personality.
When are the classes held?
Each month includes two live sessions on alternate weekends. Each session lasts 90–120 minutes, including a short break. We confirm the available batch, both dates and the session duration before you pay. The programme includes two sessions even in a month with five weekends.
How big is a batch?
Small by design — enough students for teamwork and debate, few enough that every child speaks in every class and gets personal attention and stage time each month.
What does my child need to attend?
A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera and internet connection. Classes are held on a standard video-calling platform — we share the joining link and a quick setup guide before the first class.
What if we miss a class?
Tell us in advance and we will share the session summary and two-week practice guide. A replacement live session depends on batch availability and is not guaranteed. Student absences are not refundable; see our refund policy.
What language are classes taught in?
Classes are conducted in English — it doubles as natural spoken-English practice. We keep instructions simple and support every child at their own comfort level.
What does practice between sessions involve?
A two-week guide gives your child small, fun activities for Week 1 and Week 2: listening, explaining ideas, taking initiative and working with others. Most take 5–10 minutes and use familiar everyday situations. Families can work through the guide at their own pace, without exams or required homework submissions.
How do parents stay informed?
After each live session, you receive one parent update explaining what the group practised, the next two-week guide and small things to notice at home. The guide supports self-directed family practice. At the next live session, children reflect on what they tried. Progress differs for every child; look for small changes such as explaining an idea more clearly, listening carefully or trying again.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. The programme is month to month with no lock-in. Each monthly payment is a one-time payment, not an automatic recurring charge. You choose whether to renew for the following month.
How do I pay after the demo?
First confirm your child's batch, both monthly session dates and session duration with Mikavu through our monthly enrolment page. The monthly fee is ₹1,000 for two live sessions and the practice guides. Once your batch is confirmed, use the Pay ₹1,000 Securely button on that page to open Razorpay. The demo remains free.
Is the online environment safe?
Classes use private joining links and remain teacher-supervised. Parents are welcome to sit nearby. Families must not record or photograph other children; respectful participation and privacy rules apply to everyone.
