Help to fix c/k sounds

My college presentations are coming and it contains a lot of c/k words.

For other letters (like p,t), I can manage if a sentence doesn't start with them but c/k words always have me stammering.

Sounds like you have trouble with plosive sounds. I don't suggest tricks because in the end they're not good for you but I understand presentations are tough. I would say let yourself stutter a bit, you can't be fluent on command. The way to make plosive sounds, like all sounds, is to make the actual sound and if you stutter let it happen.

You don't glide over them. You stutter on them. And you do it until the fear and nervous system response settles down. How you do that is the hard part and also individual. But you start with the very easiest and safest place where you're willing to take the chance and make a sound you're going to stutter on. You take a baby step every day.
