About Eva

Bio

I'm Eva! I attended Smith College as a STRIDE scholar with a government and anthropology double major, graduating with a 3.98 GPA.

I primarily offer debate coaching. I debated for many years as a competitive state and national debater (traditional circuits) in LD, Congressional, and Extemporaneous Debate. I qualified for NSDA Nationals 3 times in Congress and LD, took 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd at my state tournament in LD, and placed 10th in Extemporaneous Debate at NSDA Nationals my junior year....

I'm Eva! I attended Smith College as a STRIDE scholar with a government and anthropology double major, graduating with a 3.98 GPA.

I primarily offer debate coaching. I debated for many years as a competitive state and national debater (traditional circuits) in LD, Congressional, and Extemporaneous Debate. I qualified for NSDA Nationals 3 times in Congress and LD, took 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd at my state tournament in LD, and placed 10th in Extemporaneous Debate at NSDA Nationals my junior year. I competed on the college level in American Parliamentary, and placed at multiple national-level tournaments. Since tutoring, several of my students have gone on to break, place, and champion at their own tournaments, including placing in the top ten at NSDA nationals. My work with debate students focuses on teaching repeatable drills, giving actionable feedback, and building large-level strategic thinking that students can use on any topic. Debate is one of my biggest passions and I love to help others get better at debating!

I also tutor IB, ACT, and SAT. I graduated high school in the full IB program with a total score of 45, including 7s in Literature HL, History HL, Biology HL, French SL, Math Studies SL, and Global Politics SL. I also scored a 34 on the ACT and a 1520 on the SAT, and have done test prep for standardized tests, largely focused on the reading, english, and science sections. I find that success in the IB program largely depends on individualized help, pattern recognition, and efficient preparation and studying. I've picked up a lot of tips and tricks over the years to make the most out of your time and get the results you want to see. I love to see students gain confidence and academic skills and technique that they can carry beyond our sessions into their future!

Made All the Difference

Eva, thank you so much for tutoring my 7th-grade daughter, a couple of days before her first extemporaneous debate competition. She loved your lesson and the way you helped her prepare. Thanks to your support, she took 1st place this weekend! We’re so grateful for your guidance.

Phillip, 1 lesson with Eva

Great teacher, great responses!

She was so patient and answered our questions very well even when we didn’t know how to articulate what we meant. She is very good at debating and thinking on the spot.

Zayna, 5 lessons with Eva

Very very knowledgable very skilled in debate

Gave me a very thorough and easy to follow understanding of the basics. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their debate skills. She is great with beginners but I suspect she would be even better with students who are are already experienced and wanting to take their knowledge to a higher level.
