About Pro Public Speaking

Pro Public Speaking is based on the belief that communication is a skill, not a talent. And like any skill, it can be practiced, shaped, and refined. Founded by Dr. Devin Heller, an educator with a Ph.D. in Education and years of experience teaching public speaking at the collegiate level, Pro Public Speaking is built on a foundation for education and meeting people where they are.

What started in Dr. Heller’s classrooms in Florida is now transitioning into a fully online, donation-based course offering designed to serve learners everywhere, regardless of academic status or income. Whether you’re looking for opportunities to build confidence for your career, preparing to speak in a public setting, or simply aiming to grow as a communicator, Pro Public Speaking is here to help you do it with intention and integrity.

What Makes Pro Public Speaking Different?

Many online speech courses offer a one-size-fits-all approach to learning.  Pro Public Speaking doesn’t.
Dr. Heller’s approach to public speaking is based on cutting-edge research in media studies and andragogy (adult learning theory). Instead of offering a generic curriculum, Pro Public Speaking helps you to build a personalized learning experience that draws from your personal goals, challenges, and real-life contexts. Whether you’re a podcaster, preparing for a keynote speech, or navigating interpersonal communication, Pro Public Speaking courses by Dr. Heller focuses on practical value and long-term growth.

Pro Public Speaking operates on the core principles of andragogy:
Learning must have applicability in real life
Adults learn best when they are engaged and participatory
Education should contribute to lifelong learning, not short-term results
Each person’s learning journey is unique and personal
The result? A course that feels less like a lecture and more like a conversation, designed for you and your needs.

Who Can Benefit From Public Speaking Courses?

This program was created for adults who want to take ownership of their learning without the pressure of enrollment forms or prerequisites. Whether you’re 18 or 80, in a professional role or a personal transition period, Pro Public Speaking is here for learners who want to improve their communication skills with self-paced, supportive, and structured guidance.
 Many students come to us feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or held back by past experiences with public speaking. And that’s okay! In fact, it’s expected. Pro Public Speaking isn’t designed to fix you, it’s to help you rediscover your voice and guide you toward positive experiences with public speaking. 

How Pro Public Speaking’s Curriculum Works

Flexible, Modular Learning

Courses are offered in 6–8 modular sections, each covering key components of communication, from understanding your audience to refining your delivery. You can preview module content before deciding which lessons to explore in depth. This choose-your-own-path model lets you focus on what’s most relevant to you without paying for lessons you don’t need.

Accessible by Design

Founded by Dr. Devin Heller, Pro Public Speaking operates on a donation-only model so cost is never a barrier. This approach opens the door for learners from all backgrounds to gain public speaking skills that create opportunities, amplify voices, and build confidence; without the weight of financial constraints.

Flexible, Modular Learning

Whether you contribute $5, $50, or simply your dedication, you’ll receive the same expert-led lessons. Each session blends academic research with practical, real-world strategies, giving you tools to speak with clarity, confidence, and impact in any setting.

Dr. Heller’s Philosophy

As an educator, Dr. Heller doesn’t believe in promising overnight transformations or pitching quick fixes or selling confidence. Pro Public Speaking was developed to help people build their confidence with tools that make sense for their life and learning style. 
If you’ve ever thought:

“I know what I want to say, I just don’t know how to say it,”

“I’ve tried taking other courses, but they didn’t work for me,”

“I wish I could take a college course in public speaking, but I can’t afford it,”

Then Dr. Heller’s  courses were designed with people like you in mind.

Every teacher has a different voice, and each learner has a different need. Pro Public Speaking creates a space that honors that individuality and empowers each speaker to grow in their own way.
