If you are looking for help with a speech and debate event or want to improve your public speaking skills, please reach out! Following a successful high school speech and debate career, I have been a coach and tutor for several years at the elementary, middle, and high school levels as I pursue my undergraduate degree at Princeton University. My experience includes hosting individual lessons with countless students, spending two years as the debate coach at a middle school, teaching six multi-week group classes, and judging at numerous tournaments. I am happy to schedule a complimentary consultation so that you can be assured that there is a good fit.

In addition to numerous medals and elimination round results, my students have achieved the following results: Top 12 in LD Debate at NSDA Nationals, Octofinals in Declamation at NSDA Middle School Nationals, Qualified to NSDA High School Nationals in LD Debate and Extemporaneous, Impromptu Speaking Middle School State Champion, Congressional Debate Middle School State Champion, Informative Speaking Middle School State Champion, Declamation Finalist at a Middle School State Championship

My own speech and debate career spanned several events. In Extemporaneous Speaking, I won national circuit tournaments, placed second in Pennsylvania's state tournament, placed fifth in the Tournament of Champions, and was one of only sixteen competitors to be invited to the 2022 Montgomery Bell Academy Round Robin tournament. In Pro/Con Challenge, I placed tenth at the NSDA National Tournament. I received awards in LD Debate, Impromptu Speaking, and Congressional Debate as well.

I have taught students in general public speaking skills, general argumentation skills, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Extemporaneous Speaking, Impromptu Speaking, Original Oratory, Declamation, Informative Speaking, Congressional Debate, Parliamentary Debate, World Schools Debate, and more. If you don’t see your event listed, please reach out to see if I have experience coaching that event.

Debate

I have been a debate coach and tutor for four years in a wide variety of events at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, including two years as the debate coach for a middle school. In addition to general debate skills, I have taught students in LD Debate, Congressional Debate, Pro Con Challenge, Parliamentary Debate, and World Schools Debate. My students have reached elimination rounds, qualified to NSDA Nationals, and placed in the top 12 at NSDA Nationals. For the four years before I started coaching, I was an award-winning competitor in both speech and debate events and was the debate captain for my team.

knowledgeable and patient tutor

Alex was very patient and kind with our son. He was detailed and went through the thought-process and mechanics of speech writing and public speaking. Breaking it down topic by topic has been very insightful and helpful for Sanath.
