Chris A.

37 Debate lessons

Debate was always something I avoided. But, after tutoring with Eyal on Wyzant's platform, I went from having zero debate experience to a level where I was comfortable forming arguments and defending my positions. Our sessions always included an actual debate - which is the only way to learn. Even if you are not a lawyer or law student, I highly recommend tutoring with Eyal!
Sam S.

11 Debate lessons

I came to Greg without any formal experience in debate as I just wanted to better argue my side in informal settings. We have been working together several weeks now, and it is paying off as he teaches me the strategies, Dos, and Donts. He's also a relatable, likeable coach! I would recommend Greg to anyone who wants help with formal or informal debate skills or just wants to communicate effectively in postions where you must defend your views with evidence and logic.

1 Debate lesson

Lynze K. is an excellent tutor!! She helped me to focus on the key points for my debate, how to organize my bullet points, made corrections to my debate outline, and how the the speaker should deliver the message during the debate. Lynze is full of knowledge and she is very patient. I'm so grateful. Thank you.
