Coaching for the national circuit.

Small Groups

We work in small labs so no one fades into the background. Coaches meet students where they are, and work consistently to improve your ability year-round with tailored feedback.

Skills, not scripts

Modern debate is saturated with script reciters. We teach the intuition and build the understanding necessary to win when the round goes off-script, and truly develop as a debater and scholar.

A community of like-minded peers

Students prep and practice alongside each other. The best debaters in the nation grow in a community of peers and mentors, not a file-delivery transaction.

What students say

These are the most dedicated coaches that I have ever worked with, capable and willing to bring students great success at any level. The amount of preparation they produce is unparalleled by any coaching staff on the circuit, and they craft the most accurate strategies for debate rounds.
Bolang Zhu — Tournament of Champions Winner · Northwestern '30
As a coach, Shreeram provides an unrivaled level of expertise, professionalism, and flexibility of argumentation. He's not only knowledgeable about his craft, but genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. From pre-tournament research to tournament coaching, Shreeram is relentlessly committed to providing individualized guidance to debaters through every stage of the competitive process.
Shiwen Huang — Stanford Invitational Champion
Aidan's coaching has been instrumental to my success as a debater. He teaches his students the research and advocacy skills they need to succeed in competition and life. Unlike a lot of other coaches, he taught me to think instead of repeating what others have said. Above all, he knows what it takes to succeed within debate, proven by his students' success.
Alex Jayaratne — Tournament of Champions Finalist · Northwestern '30
Cho saved me hours by giving me instant access to high-quality prep across countless arguments. The coaches break down complex ideas in a way that makes them stick — helping me in debate and in class. The team's mix of collaboration and competition kept me driven and made sure we all improved together. Simply put, Cho was key to my success this season.
