Get to know our coaches
We are all very good debaters. But we are even better coaches
Debating is like any other sport - you might be an excellent athlete but a terrible coach. All our coaches have an excellent knowledge of pedagogy, educational theory and constantly strive to be better. The coaches we work with have been working with students in all kinds of schools, including in teacher positions. Our excellent track-record is unmatched - our pupils regularly win international accolades, get into best colleges, and make the fastest progress in debating
