I Was a Hesitant Mother Searching for the Right English Class — PlanetSpark Became the Answer

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be writing about an online English class that actually worked for my child, I would’ve smiled and said, “Unlikely.”

Because I was that mother — the hesitant, overthinking one. The one who had tried everything from phonics classes to grammar books and still didn’t see results.

I wanted my daughter to speak confidently, not just write perfect sentences.
But every time she had to speak in public, she froze.

At home, she was full of life — loud, funny, expressive. But in front of others? Silence.

Every PTM, the teacher would say, “She knows the answers but doesn’t raise her hand.”
And every time, I’d nod, pretending I wasn’t worried — but I was.

That’s how my search for the “right English class” began.
And after many failed attempts, I finally found the answer — PlanetSpark.

🧠 My Concerns Were Real (And Probably Like Yours Too)

I’ll be honest — when I first heard about PlanetSpark, my first thought was, “Online classes? For kids? Really?”

Because let’s face it, after lockdown, we parents have seen enough screens to last a lifetime.
And honestly, I didn’t believe confidence or communication could be taught online.

Some of my biggest doubts were:

  • “Will my child actually pay attention?”

  • “Isn’t this too early for public speaking?”

  • “Can an online teacher really connect with a small kid?”

  • “Do we really need another class?”

I was skeptical — and a little tired. But deep down, I knew one thing:
If I didn’t address her hesitation now, it might grow with her.

So, with half excitement and half doubt, I booked a PlanetSpark demo class.

🎤 The Demo Class That Changed Everything

That 40-minute demo was enough to change my perspective completely.

The mentor started with such warmth that even I felt comfortable!
She didn’t rush into grammar or reading — she started by asking questions that made my daughter curious:

“What’s your favorite food?”
“If you could fly, where would you go?”

And just like that, my shy little girl began talking.

At first, in one-word answers. Then full sentences. Then a giggle-filled story about pizza flying to the moon!

The mentor didn’t correct her every two seconds. She listened. She appreciated. She built trust.

At the end of the class, my daughter looked at me and said, “Mumma, I want to do this again.”
That’s when I thought — maybe, just maybe, this could work.

🌱 From Hesitant to Hopeful

We joined. But honestly, I still wasn’t expecting much. I told my husband, “Let’s try for a month and see.”

But within two weeks, I started noticing small changes.

She began initiating conversations on her own. She’d come out of class smiling and say things like,

“Mumma, I spoke about my favorite toy today!”
“Teacher said my story was funny!”

There was no pressure, no fear.
Just joy — the joy of being heard.

And that’s what makes PlanetSpark different.

💬 The Common Parent Struggle: Wanting the Best But Not Knowing Where to Start

As parents, hum sab yahi chahte hain — apna baccha confident ho, communicate kare, aur duniya ke saamne apni baat rakhe.
But no one tells us how to teach that.

We enroll them in good schools, good tuition, maybe even speech classes — but most of them focus on what to say, not how to say it.

That’s what I was missing all along — the confidence-building part.

And that’s exactly what PlanetSpark focuses on.

🧑‍🏫 Why PlanetSpark Worked for Us

After months of trying different things, I finally understood why this platform clicked.

1️⃣ Mentors Who Connect First, Teach Later

The teachers at PlanetSpark are not just language instructors — they’re mentors who genuinely understand children.
They make kids feel safe enough to express freely.

My daughter’s mentor, Ms. Priya, once told me,

“Confidence isn’t taught. It’s nurtured — and we do it one word at a time.”
That line stuck with me.

2️⃣ Speaking Practice in Every Class

No class goes by without the child speaking. It could be a story, a show-and-tell, or even a silly little debate — but every session builds comfort with communication.

3️⃣ Fun + Learning = Magic

Kids learn best when they’re having fun. The classes are filled with activities — storytelling, games, gestures, even mini speeches.
It never feels like “studying.”

4️⃣ Real-World Confidence

After a few months, I noticed my daughter ordering her own ice cream at the counter, introducing herself to new friends, and speaking up in class.

And that, to me, is real success.

💭 The Day It All Clicked

A few weeks ago, her school organized a “Show and Tell” competition. Normally, she would’ve said, “Mumma, please don’t make me go.”

But this time, she came running to me saying, “Mumma, I want to talk about my favorite toy!”

We practiced a little at home, but most of the confidence came from her regular PlanetSpark sessions.

On the day of the competition, she stood on stage and said,

“Good morning everyone! My topic is My Teddy Bear. His name is Bruno, and he’s my best friend!”

She spoke for one full minute, loud and clear — with a big smile.

When she finished, everyone clapped. Her teacher said, “She’s so confident now!”

And I just stood there, proud and emotional.
Because this was the moment I’d been waiting for.

🌟 What Surprised Me the Most

I joined PlanetSpark for better English, but what I got was much more:

Confidence that shows — not just in speech, but in attitude.
Better communication — she now tells stories clearly and uses expressions.
Independence — she no longer waits for me to speak on her behalf.
Joy in learning — she actually reminds me when it’s time for her class!

And yes, her English naturally improved too — pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary — everything got sharper without her even realizing it.

💬 What I Tell Other Parents Now

Whenever another parent asks me, “Is PlanetSpark really worth it?”, I tell them my honest truth:

“If you want your child to speak better English, you’ll find plenty of classes.
But if you want them to speak with confidence, this is the one.”

Confidence can’t be memorized. It’s built through love, patience, and practice — and that’s what PlanetSpark does beautifully.

So, if you’re a parent sitting where I once was — hesitant, unsure, scared of making the wrong choice — let me tell you: I get it.

But I also know this:
You’ll never regret helping your child find their voice.

🏁 Final Thoughts

I started as a hesitant mother looking for an English class.
I ended up finding something much bigger — a community that helps children express, lead, and believe in themselves.

Now, when I see my daughter grab the mic at school or speak in English without fear, I smile quietly and think,

“We did it. She found her voice.”

And that’s when I realized — I didn’t just find the right English class.
I found the right start.

PlanetSpark didn’t just teach my child to speak.
It taught her to shine. 💛
