Our Founders, Teachers, and Philosophy

Great teachers inspire learning

"Quills and Quotes aims to create an engaging learning environment that inspires, challenges, and builds leaders of tomorrow."

The Founders

Our world is competitive, and students need to set themselves apart. Candidates have 10 seconds to make a first impression, and superior writing and speaking skills are the keys to success.

We questioned whether the regional school curriculum was enough to prepare our children to meet those challenges.

We decided our children needed more. We are a group of professionals with experience in education, public speaking, and curriculum development, and we collaborated with a team of teachers, writers, and professors to build Quills and Quotes. The result was a program that teaches students to be powerful writers and confident speakers.

We are proud of our students. They genuinely love coming to class and participate with enthusiasm. We love watching our students succeed -conquering public speaking anxiety, winning class speech competitions, entering international writing contests, creating blogs and podcasts, writing short stories, or showing us the As on their report cards–those moments are awesome.

"A good teacher will inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning."

-Brad Henry

Testimonials

It was the small things that made the difference in Quills and Quotes. The writing and public speaking curriculum is outstanding, but what really did it for me is that my daughter progressed tremendously AND she loved the class. The teacher really cared that she got all the concepts. She followed up on any missed assignments. She was given positive encouragement throughout. Discussion was encouraged. Questions were encouraged. For the kids the small things that made a big difference were the prizes, the awards, the debates, the fun things like the “Soap Box Speech” and the “Who Is” books and discussing TED Talks. Quills and Quotes is quite a unique program. I highly recommend it!

Quills and Quotes dramatically increased my essay writing and speech skills. The program helps me consistently achieve a 4+ in my language assignments. The teachers are kind and willing to put in the effort to help us succeed. I'd definitely recommend this program to kids who want to write and speak like a pro.

If you are looking to improve your child’s reading, writing and public speaking skills, I highly recommend this program! I wish this program was around when I was in middle school.

Dina Mehdiratta, Quills and Quotes parent

I've been looking for a program like this for my children for a long time! So happy to have finally found a curriculum that really focuses on public speaking and writing skills. They cover all essay types, build strong vocabulary and get kids speaking from day one!

Monica Malhotra, Quills and Quotes parent

Thank you for your enlightening and practical session on the Fundamentals of Pubic Speaking with our students as part of our E-learning program. You have instilled in our students the importance of pubic speaking. They are now inspired by you to present themselves with clarity and confidence.

We appreciate you sharing your time, talent, and expertise with us. We look forward to more presentations from “Quills and Quotes” in the next academic year.
