Tin and Lovro are examples of how much methodical and regular debating training can produce. Last year's World Champions (winners of World Universities Debating Championship) know like no one else how to guide debating development and what methods to use to become the best in the world. If you want to learn the insights of their work and take your debating to the next level be sure to sign up for their course starting in early March.
This is what Tin and Lovro said about this course:
,,Our coaching philosophy is very simple – you learn most by doing and by watching your peers perform with guidance from coaches that helps you progress with your skills. Therefore in our workshops we emphasize hands-on experience as opposed to only ex cathedra way of teaching. That doesn't mean we don't value theoretical knowledge in debating. On the other hand, all of our classes consist of a theoretical introduction where we present valuable insights and best practices which students later use in the practical part of the class.”

Klaudia and Sourodip began their debating journey in places where debating environments were underdeveloped and opportunities for growth were limited. However, this didn't stop them from achieving international success, winning major tournaments around the world and being on the judging panel for the World Championships. There is no better way to start your debating adventure than this course starting at the beginning of March.
This is what Klaudia and Sourodip said about this course:
,,Our coaching philosophy is that understanding the fundamentals is crucial in winning debates at any level. In our workshops we want to facilitate mastering basic skills such as argument building or effective rebuttal, followed by strategy and weighing and debating specific types of motions. We have experiences in different circuits across the world in debating, judging and CAing and hence are able to look at debating from a wide array of perspectives. We are planning our classes with a lot of practical drills, written summaries and some extra materials.”

The main advantage of individual classes at Think and Speak Academy is that they are fully adapted to the needs of the student. Starting from the content, level and intensity of the classes to their timing and frequency.
The basis of each individual course is a diagnosis of the student's skills. Thanks to this, the coach is able to provide the most appropriate course of teaching adapted to the student's level.
At the same time, our individual classes are not only a preparation for debating, but if necessary also for critical thinking, speaking, making presentations, oral exams, competitions, and also tutoring in the process of applying for studies abroad.
