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.
HANG L.

18 Debate lessons

Their teaching style is challenging, engaging, and very helpful; my daughter has made so much progress through D’s lessons. D has boosted my daughter’s confidence in debate and public speaking significantly. My daughter looks forward to each session with D: she is very enthusiastic about her lessons. I would highly recommend D to anyone in need of improving public speaking skills— whether they are shy and timid, or need to improve in debate in general. You will love D’s tutoring.
