Speech & Debate Course
This course is designed for students with little to no prior experience in public speaking and debate. It focuses on four core skill areas:
-
Limited Prep Speech
-
Research-Based Presentation
-
Formal Speech
-
Debate
Through structured and progressive training, students build self-confidence, strengthen oral communication skills, and develop critical thinking and reasoning abilities. The course is designed to be taken over multiple sessions, allowing students to continuously refine their skills and gain proficiency over time.
Students love this class because it is engaging and fun, while also effectively improving their writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills.
To ensure the best learning experience, we offer a 1-on-1 interview for new students to assess their level and place them in the most suitable class.
