Benefits of Private Coaching
Strong communicators aren’t born - they’re developed. Private coaching gives students the space, guidance, and expert feedback they need to grow on their own timeline. Whether a student is writing their first speech or preparing for a national final, individualized instruction helps them build confidence, sharpen their strategy, and develop a voice that feels authentic. With focused attention and consistent practice, students learn how to craft stronger arguments, elevate their delivery, and go into every round knowing exactly what they want to say and how to say it. The result is noticeable growth, stronger performances, and a competitive edge that students can feel.

Private Coaching Events
Extemp Speaking
I focus on giving students a system they can trust in any round. We practice breaking down questions, forming arguments quickly, integrating research, and delivering answers in a calm, conversational style. Each session builds the habits that make extempers consistent: tight structure, clear impacts, in-depth analysis, and confident, human delivery. Students also receive weekly questions, drill recommendations, and topic primers.

​Original Oratory
My approach to Oratory helps students move from “I have a topic” to “I have something meaningful to say.” We work together to build a clear structure, refine the writing, and shape the speech around the student’s natural voice. Students learn how to use humor, storytelling, and evidence in a way that feels honest and engaging. Along the way, we fine-tune delivery so their message lands with impact.
​
​Informative Speaking
Informative students learn how to take a complex topic and make it accessible, engaging, and visually effective. We work on crafting a clear narrative arc, integrating research in a meaningful way, and designing visuals that enhance, rather than distract from, the message. I help students create speeches that are polished, confident, and easy to follow with dynamic, purposeful visuals.
