Interested in trying out a debate class? This is a chance to try out a mini-lesson. We will discuss the key vocabulary terms in debate (resolution, pro, con, rebuttal) and have a fun debate about pets. Learners will be prompted to share their opinions in a speech format and will be guided to look for flaws in the other side's arguments. >>> Resolution: Dogs make better pets than cats. The full version of this class meets once a week, debating different topics each week. Please note this is a one-time demo class and can not be repeated. This is open to learners who have not taken debate classes with Green Communications before. Here is a link to the full version of this Into Class: https://outschool.com/classes/intro-to-public-speaking-debate-esl-friendly-QsAuMteH We have proudly taught essential communication skills and boosted the confidence of over 8,000 Outschool learners! We would love the opportunity to work with yours!

Hello! I'm Elizabeth Green, founder of Green Communications and My Speech and Debate Coach.
I'm honored to lead a small group of teachers with a passion for helping kids learn how to communicate confidently and effectively in public speaking situations. We are proud to be named Outschool's Best In Class in 2023 and 2024!

We all have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree with a focus on communications (Broadcast Journalism, Theater, Public Relations, etc). We have won numerous awards, competitions and national titles in public speaking and debate.
But most importantly, we know how it feels to be uncomfortable in a public speaking situation, and the importance of overcoming that. We all went through shy stages as children until we had that ONE teacher who impacted us in a way that propelled us to self-confidence, public speaking competitions, and even careers in communications!
Whether it's having the courage to stand up and spell an unknown word in a spelling bee, write and/or deliver compelling lines from a play, craft an effective impromptu speech, or seal the deal in a debate tournament with a persuasive closing round, our goal is to BE that teacher for your child.
And, have a lot of fun in the process. :)
