Public Speaking, Debate, Career Coach, AP World His | Cornell Graduate

Vicente G.

I specialize in public speaking, debate, critical thinking, and professional communication, helping students and professionals develop the analytical and persuasive skills needed to succeed academically and professionally.

I studied Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, where I participated in competitive debate. With over a decade of teaching experience, I bring an interdisciplinary approach combining rhetoric, argumentation, political philosophy, history, and leadership development.

Public Speaking & Debate Coaching

My lessons go beyond speech delivery. I teach students to construct sophisticated arguments, anticipate objections, evaluate evidence, and respond persuasively under pressure. Topics include the Toulmin model, logical fallacies, rhetorical appeals, causal reasoning, rebuttal strategies, cross-examination, and advanced debate theory, including Kritik and securitization.

Professional Communication & Career Coaching

I work with professionals seeking to strengthen leadership communication, persuasive presentations, structured reasoning, and career advancement skills. My experience includes coaching military personnel on professional development, communication, and preparation for greater leadership responsibilities.

Academic Tutoring & Writing

I also teach AP World History: Modern, historical analysis, research, and academic writing, helping students develop evidence-based arguments and prepare for DBQs, LEQs, and SAQs.

Whether preparing for a debate tournament, professional presentation, career advancement opportunity, or academic examination, my goal is to help you think critically, communicate persuasively, and perform confidently.
