Class Experience
In this class we will be working on fundamental debate skills customized for the student's needs, interest and ability. This one-on-one program is meticulously designed to cater to the unique learning needs, goals, and pace of each individual student. Student will learn what a proper debate looks like, and how to argue their side properly. They will also learn excellent listening skills, and how to not only hear the other speaker, but to reply to what they said; understand it, and then debate the topic. In each class every learner will be able to practice speaking, debating, and listening skills. Many people of all ages struggle with the ability to speak in public. It is a fear that even the most professional people have, although we all need this skill to succeed in life. Students will learn how to have an empowering voice. During our class learners will learn to overcome their anxieties of speaking in public, as well as learning life long needed skills of argumentation. Debate skills are not only needed in the workforce, but in everyday communication. Our practice debate subjects will be kept on the light side. Sample Topics -It is better to have the power to fly than to be invisible. -Is Digital Technology making Lives Better for Children? -Television is a good influence for children -The great Fur Debate -Cats or Dogs make better pets -Homework should be Banned -Uniforms Should be Worn at school -Humans Should not Eat Animals
