Make a bigger difference for your students

You're not just using your voice...

You're shaping someones future

Every explanation.

Every story.

Every question.

Every word you speak helps children understand, discover and grow. Yet almost no teacher is ever taught how to use the one teaching tool they depend on every single day.

Their voice.

Not until it hurts.

Not until it becomes hoarse.

Not until speaking becomes exhausting.

By then, months—or even several years—of unnecessary strain may already have taken their toll, when I meet them in my practice.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

“I don't do the exercises for myself...”

One day I asked one of my clients a simple question. “Why do you keep practising?”

She smiled and answered: “I do it for the kids.”

That sentence perfectly captures why Mirjam Speaks exists.

Teachers don't choose this profession because it's easy. They choose it because they care.

When your voice becomes tired, strained or unreliable,
it isn't just you who pays the price.
Your students do too.

The hidden cost of a tired voice

Many teacher believe "my voice is fine."
Unfortunately, voice problems among teachers are far more common than most people realise.
Research shows that:

50% +

Students rate teachers who use their voice well as better teachers

The real question isn't: is my voice okay today?

of female teachers develop voice problems during their teaching career.

33% +

of male teachers develop voice problems during their careers.

It's: am I teaching in a way that will still allow me to be a good teacher in ten to twenty years from now on?

Become a Mirjamer

Join my online program created specifically for teachers.

Not singers. Not actors. Not public speakers. Teachers.

Inside, in 4 submodules, you'll learn practical, evidence-informed voice strategies based on science, speech therapists and clinical experiences. Designed to help your students learn more easily.

• No unnecessary theory
  

• No intimidating terminology
  

• Just practical exercises and habits that fit into your teaching day

Why this program is different

Many solutions only address part of the problem.

• Microphones make your voice louder, but don't improve how your voice is produced or reduce harmful vocal habits.
  

• Speaking louder helps with making your students hear you better, but can increase strain if healthy vocal techniques aren't used.
  

• Voice rest helps with temporary voice recovery, but doesn't address the habits that caused the strain in the first place.
  

• Tea or lozenges can soothe discomfort, but it doesn't reduce forces causing vocal strain.
  

• Generic voice coaching helps with improving overall use, but it isn't designed around the specific demands of teaching in a classroom.
  

• Waiting for speech therapy can help, but prevention is often easier than recovering after months of strain.
  

• Classroom management can reduce unnecesary talking, but a teacher still needs a healthy voice for explanation, instruction, encouragement and connection.
  

• Mirjam Speaks addresses the teachers voice as an essential teaching tool, it combines healthy vocal techniques with classroom-specific application, and practical habits designed for educators to help their students learn easier.

Meet Dutch speech therapist Mirjam Brasser

I was born in Amsterdam in 1994 and studied Speech and Language Therapy at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences in Almere, the Netherlands. Since 2020, I have worked as a speech therapist, helping teachers who experience voice problems regain a healthy, reliable voice. Since 2023, I have worked fully online through my own practice, Mirjam Spreekt.

Working with clients online is different from working face-to-face. Through my clinical experience, I have learned what it takes to make online therapy effective, personal and practical. I’ve brought that experience into Mirjam Speaks, creating an online program that turns evidence-informed voice techniques into practical habits teachers can actually use in their everyday classroom.

Ironically, I struggled with my own voice too. As a teacher with a naturally soft voice, I experienced what it was like when my voice simply couldn’t reach all of my students. The exercises I now teach are based on the same principles that transformed my own voice and have helped many clients in my speech therapy practice.

Over the years, as a digital nomad, my work and life have also become increasingly international. English has become a natural part of both my professional and personal life. I chose to create Mirjam Speaks in English because I want to reach beyond the Dutch-speaking world. English allows me to share this knowledge with far more teachers—and ultimately, to positively influence the learning experiences of many more children around the world.

Then I realised something: I didn’t want to spend my career helping teachers only after their voices had already broken down. I wanted to help them before that happens. Because every teacher I help today has the potential to positively influence hundreds of children tomorrow.

That’s why I created Mirjam Speaks.
