Hi, my name is David (aka Coach David Anthony).  I am a Certified Teacher with a Masters Degree from Stanford University and an Honors Bachelors Degree from the University of Southern California.

I am excited to join your Outschooler on a journey to understand and work towards excellence in speaking, debating, and/or business life skills for success.   I love to share my knowledge, experience, and passion here at Outschool by teaching 15-20 speech and debate classes every week.  For a few students looking to improve so much that they can successfully compete in speech or debate tournaments, I also tutor them one-on-one.

My goal for Outschool student learners is to first inform them so that they become aware of the key subject matter, then do activities and exercises to boost their excitement and potential and help them understand what it takes to achieve their class goals.  Along the way, I give direction and encouragement so that they can understand, perform, and develop passion about their abilities to excel in the subjects that I teach.

What can you expect in my classes?  My classes are designed to bring out the best in student learners – to help them understand the key concepts and then engage with them so that they can improve their skills with confidence.  We will have fun and yet learn how to excel at the same time! I have lived my life trying to be the best that I can be and I love helping students become the best that they can be!

I have significant education and experience in the subjects that I teach here at Outschool.  In addition to teaching here at Outschool, I am an online Teacher for students learning Speech, Debate, English, and Reading.  I also Tutor students one-on-one online in these subjects. I was the lead advisor for the Corona High School Speech & Debate Club in Southern California.  I have a Masters degree from Stanford University (MBA Business) and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California (BA, Economics and International Political Science with a specialization of China and East Asia). I graduated with Honors in the top 2% of my college class in scholarship, leadership and service.  I was a member of the U.S.C. Debate Squad; our speech team was ranked #1 in the nation out of all colleges in the country. I was in a total of 15 musicals/plays during school, winning my school's "Benny Award" for the overall Best Actor.  I was a Coach member of The National Speech and Debate Association, the organization that provides the infrastructure and resources for speech and debate competitions around the world.

I had a very successful business career, have spoke publicly to groups of 10-100+ people hundreds of times, have visited 32 different countries (lived in four countries), have over 12 years experience teaching kids in High School and Middle School, and enjoy my life here in southern California with my wife and daughter (she is now in high school).  Now I am helping learners here at Outschool achieve their potential with passion and perseverance (the two qualities so critical for life success). 

Please join me and let's begin a new adventure together!
