"Hello everyone! I am an experienced Speech & Debate tutor looking to help people build their knowledge and ability! I have worked as a college Director of Forensics and communication instructor, where I coached students to outrounds at AFA, NFA and Pi Kappa Delta in both debate and individual events. I also currently work as a high school extemp coach for a local public school and full time as a private coach, with students winning state titles in multiple states and advancing to deep outrounds at NIETOC and NSDA. Finally, I write weekly questions and tournament packets for coaches and competitors, including for tournaments such as AFA-NST, NSDA, multiple state championships and NIETOC (where I serve as limited prep question writer and head of extemp prep).

I want to help build competitors and students up, using their unique skillsets, into students who can advocate for themselves and their viewpoints. In Speech and Debate, I focus on fundamentals first, then delivery. I assign homework and provide materials for sessions, including limited prep questions and notes on practice performances. I treat every session like a performance round, because that is the standard a competitor will be asked to perform at.

I encourage any prospective student to ask questions before, during, and after their tutor search process. I look forward to working with you!" less...
