About Us

Our Philosophy

We prioritize real results over rote practice: authentic expression over scripted lines, adaptive thinking over rigid rules, and measurable growth over empty praise.

Every student receives fully customized support designed to foster resilience, sharpen persuasion, and build unshakeable poise—no matter their starting point or experience level.

Our approach rejects one-size-fits-all methods, focusing instead on practical strategies that translate directly to real-world success in speeches, debates, and high-stakes conversations.

Our Expertise

Our coaches bring years of national experience in public speaking and debate, equipping students with the tools to excel in any setting.


Each session is tailored to individual goals, focusing on effective structure, delivery, and strategy. Whether your child is preparing for a major presentation or national competition, we help them become articulate, confident, and poised communicators.

Meet the Coach

Elizabeth Kim, Founder & Head Coach

Elizabeth debated for five years at Lake Highland Preparatory School in Florida, serving as team captain during her junior and senior years. As captain, she led and coached several novice and middle school teams to competitive success. Throughout her senior season, she consistently advanced to late elimination rounds at national tournaments, including Yale, Harvard, Glenbrooks, Blake, Emory, and Lexington.


She also received numerous individual accolades, including 5th speaker out of 796 competitors at the Harvard Invitational, 3rd speaker out of 390 at the Emory Invitational, and recognition as the top individual speaker in the country. On the state level, she is a two-time state qualifier and has won multiple district and regional tournaments.


As a coach, Elizabeth’s love for debate drives her coaching, inspiring students to build confidence, think critically, and perform at their best. She has taught over 100 students across all skill levels and ages. Notably, under her coaching, her team rose from #90 nationally to #1, improved their win rate by 75%, and captured first place at the Yale and Harvard Invitationals. She thrives under ambiguity and has a problem-solving mindset, as evidenced by her one-on-one work with students, parents, and other instructors to identify problem areas and provide individual attention to struggling students. After graduation, Elizabeth taught at several debate camps, where she received the highest instructor evaluation scores from her peers and students (of 20+ at the time), and her students had an unheard-of retention rate of 100%.


Elizabeth is a recent graduate of New York University, where she earned her degree in Economics and Finance.
