Our Instructors

 

Our summer camps are coached by a team of exceptional candidates who have qualified for the Tournament of Champions (TOC), a highly esteemed and fiercely competitive American high school speech and debate tournament. These coaches, who have dedicated countless hours to their craft, have excelled nationally and reached the elimination rounds at many top invitationals, such as Stephen Stewart, Jon Schamber, TOC Digital Series, Stanford Invitationals, Loyola, College Prep, Peninsula, and the Harvard Round Robin. They have repeatedly qualified for the NSDA Nationals (National Speech and Debate Association) and CHSSA State Tournament.

​

Our coaches have practical experience sharing what it takes to perform at a high level and build skills that help achieve success in competitive events. They have created a summer curriculum from scratch, a structured learning journey that reassures parents and students about the learning process. This curriculum is designed to help students build critical thinking and communication skills and enhance their public speaking skills. In this group class, they go the extra mile to ensure personalized interactions, valuing each student's unique learning journey.
