Assignments
1-2 hours per week. Again, this is choose-your-own adventure. Students can do as much or as little work outside of one-on-one classes as they choose. If I give your students exercises to work on outside of sessions, I will expect them to follow through. If I'm helping prep them for a formal project or competition, I will expect them to put in the work to do their own research and writing outside of sessions.Grading
Any kind of grade or assessment is available upon request depending on the length and intensity of the one-on-one instruction.Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 12
It's choose-your-own-adventure in this one-on-one class. I'm happy to do a set class length, individual sessions, or ongoing sessions; whatever works best for your family. I am an experienced public speaking coach who has led students to victory in Public Forum debate, Lincoln-Douglas debate, Congressional debate, Extemporaneous debate, speech events, Model UN, Ethics Bowl, and more. I'm happy to work with students at any experience level on either general communication skills or to prep them for formal competition. I'm particularly interested in introducing debaters to framework debate, where they utilize principles and theories from academic philosophy to augment their arguments. I'm also happy to work with students on case, brief, speech, and other writing for competitions. I take a Socratic approach to my teaching, so your student should expect to be an engaged participant in their own learning, asking and answering questions and bringing their own ideas, thoughts, perspectives, and outside research to the table.
Learning Goals
Students will develop their analytical and critical thinking skills by engaging in independent coaching with an experienced instructor.
Students will actively engage with academic material that gives them a greater understanding of themselves, their world, and their culture.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be exposed to a wide variety of ideas, views, perspectives, and events in prepping for competitions and working on their speaking skills. I often give tongue-twister and monologue homework exercises to students that come from a variety of sources. Students prepping for competitions will have to engage with potentially hot-button issues in a neutral way, preparing to argue both sides of a topic. Parents should keep this in mind when deciding whether any kind of public speaking extracurricular is appropriate for their child. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Supply List
I will provide an individualized list to each student after the course of study is determined. All students should be prepared with a pen and paper for each session.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
2 Degrees
Master's Degree in Philosophy from Northern Illinois University
Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy from Illinois Wesleyan University
I have a BA in Philosophy with minors in Political Science and Greek and Roman Studies, as well as an MA in Philosophy with a concentration in Ethics and Political Philosophy. I’m the head coach of a competitive high school debate team and teach the liberal arts at a classical school. I’m also a professional creative writer and journalist.
I love helping students of all ages understand and interpret difficult subjects and learn how to crystallize their thoughts in writing and oral communication. I believe studying philosophy is a wonderful way to facilitate this kind of growth and learning.
