Private Lessons

Maria Wood-Smith, Private Lesson Coach and Teen Empowerment Adviser 
Maria Wood-Smith has been helping her students and clients build their self-confidence for over 20 years.  Her passion for helping others came directly from her own struggles with low self-esteem and confidence in her early adulthood years.   Using very specific strategies, she was able to realize and protect her self-worth and her confidence began to soar.
“I am keenly aware of the despair that comes with feeling powerless.  It can be overwhelming and make you feel like you’ll never get beyond it.  But I’m also very aware of the hard work it takes to fight for your self-worth. I fought hard and I won.  I often tell my clients, young and old, no one can “give” you self-confidence, you have to earn it yourself.  I offer my guidance and support and follow-up weekly or bi-weekly with a wrap-up email that includes action items so my clients can take control of and be accountable for their own happiness.”

Over the years I have found these confidence-building strategies to work most effectively:
  • Personal Inventory Questionnaire
  • Posture and Confident Body Language Practice
  • Self-esteem Worksheets and Journal
  • Positive Affirmation Prompts
  • Role Playing for younger students to practice empowered responses to unfavorable behavior from others.
  • Interview Prep and Practice for all ages
  • Social Savvy, Conversation Starters Manners and Etiquette
  • Public Speaking Prep and Practice
  • Health and Wellness Discussion and Practice
  • The Power of Body Confidence
  • Volunteer Opportunities

What types of private lessons are offered?

In-studio, virtual, and private lessons can be scheduled for overall confidence-building, manners and social skills prep and practice, high-school and college interview preparation, public speaking practice, personal image consulting, pageant coaching, personal wardrobe assessment, and a variety of other customized topics.  The goal of private lessons is to hone in on your needs and take the time and care to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.

Why take private lessons?

For kids and teens who may be too shy for a group setting or whose schedules are too full to accommodate weekly classes, private lessons can be an alternative to the Fearless Focus Spring/Summer/Fall programs.  Private lessons can also be used to supplement regular program classes for children who require some extra personal attention or who are preparing for a particular event (i.e. audition, interview or pageant, etc.).
If you’re heading to college or are a recent college graduate, private lessons will give you an added edge in the competitive work space.  Adults of all ages can benefit from some one-on-one time to boost their self-confidence, sharpen presentation skills, brush up on interview skills, practice or fine-tune their professional presentation or customize the lessons however they see fit.

How much are Private Lesson consultations?

Private Lesson consultations are $135.00. If you are interested in private lessons for yourself or your child or teen, please do not hesitate to contact Maria Wood-Smith at 781-826-0241 or email at info@fearlessfocusprogram.com.  Discussing what your needs are and what areas need strength and developing are integral parts of conducting a successful private lesson approach and results.
