During the Spring and Summer, since most of our nation's schools have closed for the remainder of the school year, you can sign up for online debate sessions.
Each session is planned based on your own schedule and you can have as many tutoring sessions as you need to learn how to be the best debater you can be. You will be trained by the best coaches and debaters in the country.
Each session is 1 hour and $20/hr
