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!

-------New to Outschool? Save $20 on ANY class with code: ElizabethGr20---------

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. :)
