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.
