Your school's craft deserves a home

Speech structures get taught in class but rarely written. Delivery cues, pace, pause, posture, vary by teacher. Feedback notes sit in students' phones. C3NTR is a quiet place to write it all down once, in your school's voice.

Who this is for

Independent schools

One teacher, a teaching space, and a steady stream of students. C3NTR puts your technique, repertoire and history in one place.

Schools with multiple teachers

Two or more teachers, several classes a week. C3NTR holds the shared standard so every class draws from the same library.

Schools with debate teams

You run a debate team or competitive speech programme. Content locked by level keeps newer speakers on basics while team members see competition prep.

Built for teachers, not for IT

Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next delivery note in plain prose. The next class, the speaker arrives knowing the cue.

Write directly in the app

Like a notepad. New articles are drafts until you publish, so nothing goes live by mistake.

Mobile-first authoring

Edit on the phone between classes or on the way home. The same library, the same edit screen.

A working library in under an hour

Import the starter template in a few taps. Edit anything that doesn't fit. Publish when ready.

Levels, foundation, intermediate, advanced, competition

Content locked by level, in your school's progression

Tag any article with a minimum level. Foundation students see structure and basics. Intermediate see delivery work. Competition speakers see full prep. The same library, the right view per student.

A glossary of public speaking terminology

Public speaking carries its own vocabulary. C3NTR's glossary holds the terms in one place: the technical names, your school's translation, and the article each term appears in.

Projection
The ability to make your voice reach the back of a room without strain, using breath, resonance and clear shaping of sound rather than volume alone.
Articulation
The precision with which consonants and vowels are produced, making the words intelligible to a listener at distance.
Pace
The speed at which you speak, measured in words per minute and felt in how the audience absorbs what you say.
Pause
The deliberate silence between phrases or sections, used to let an idea land, to give the audience time to absorb, or to draw the room into the next moment.
Opening
The first sentence or two of a talk, the moment when the audience decides how much attention to give what follows.
Through-line
The single central idea that runs through a talk from start to finish, the answer to the question "what is this talk really about?"

Competitions, showcases, masterclasses

C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the next competition, post showcase dates, and let students see what's ahead. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.

Start from our Public Speaking template

A working starter with 14 articles, 2 short videos, a 8-terms glossary across 5 tags (Getting Started, Foundations, Structure and Story, Delivery, Practice and Feedback). Import in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit your school. Every article, term and tag is yours from the moment you import.

Common questions

Can students only see their level's material?

Yes. Tag any article with a minimum level. New students see only foundations. Teachers see everything.

Does it cover Toastmasters, debate societies, your school's method?

Yes. The starter is method neutral. Toastmasters, debate societies, your school's method can adapt the curriculum without rewriting.

Can my school customise the public speaking template?

Yes. Every article, exercise and tag is editable. Add your school's repertoire, your favoured methods and your house standards.

How long does it take to set up?

Most schools have a working library in under an hour. Import the starter template in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit. Starting blank takes a little longer. Allow an hour or two to write your first ten articles. Students can use the app the day you publish.

Do I have to stop using my booking system?

No. C3NTR is a knowledge library for your curriculum, terminology and progressions. Booking, billing and scheduling stay with the tools you already use.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Seed is free forever for up to 30 students, with no credit card required. Move up to School (£39/mo) or Academy (£69/mo) when you outgrow it.
