About Angela


Bio

Hi there!

My name is Angela and I have over 10 years experience in the world of speech and debate as both a State Champion in Texas (senate congressional debate) and a coach of state finalists, national qualifiers, and full-ride Ivy League students (shoutout to Mackenzie for getting into Yale!). My experience in public speaking and argumentation is bolstered by my bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Barnard College, the women's college of Columbia University.

Hi there!

My name is Angela and I have over 10 years experience in the world of speech and debate as both a State Champion in Texas (senate congressional debate) and a coach of state finalists, national qualifiers, and full-ride Ivy League students (shoutout to Mackenzie for getting into Yale!). My experience in public speaking and argumentation is bolstered by my bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Barnard College, the women's college of Columbia University.

I've been teaching since college and tutoring since my high school days. It's not just debate that I can support you with - my debate and philosophy experience combine for a strong foundation in logic, encouragement, and intellectual rigor. I'm eager to help you succeed in whatever subject you may need assistance in.

I studied Arabic and Qur'an in Egypt and can teach qaida nuraniyah (basic tajweed) in addition to most academic subjects and Speech and Debate (specialty in Congressional Debate).

ACT English

Did you know that test-taking is more about question *asking* than it is about question answering? Let me teach you how to examine, interrogate, and decipher tricky ACT English questions through affirming your innate intelligence and ability.
Debate

Debate

I worked for the Brooklyn Debate League in NYC for 5 years in addition to coaching with the NYC Urban Debate League and judging on the national circuit. I was a state champion in Texas in senate congressional debate (2016) and have built out my own congressional debate curriculum. My judging experience lies heavily with PF and LD, and I attended UTNIF camp for PF about ten years ago.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I am a strong public speaking tutor because I bring over five years of hands-on experience coaching middle school students through debate, speech, and competitive argumentation with the Brooklyn Debate League and NYC Urban Debate League. My background in philosophy from Barnard College sharpens my ability to teach clear reasoning, persuasive structure, and confident delivery. I also design curriculum and give targeted feedback as a judge and coach, helping students translate complex ideas into compelling, accessible speeches. Above all, my interpersonal skills and heart-led work ethic allow me to meet students where they are and build confidence alongside technical skill.
Writing

Writing

After 5 years teaching debate in NYC public, charter, and private schools, I found that the most crucial skill for young people to develop is not public speaking, logic, or confidence -- it's writing. When we transform our thoughts into written language, we unlock a potential to change hearts and minds, and, ultimately, the world. Let me share what I've learned as a professional debate coach to support your journey in penning your voice .
