What Our Students Have to Say

“Working with Sebastian completely changed my high school debate experience. He genuinely cares about his students and knows debate inside and out, which pushed me to grow both as a competitor and as a person. Because of his support and guidance, I didn’t just get better at debate—I actually broke at the TOC, something I never imagined I could do.”

“Sebastian helped me take my debating to the next level. Because of his guidance, I reached elims at Yale, UNLV, and Berkeley, and won The Tradition. I broke at the TOC and States, and his honest feedback and steady support made a huge difference. He always made sure I was ready for any round, no matter how tough.”

“Sebastian’s been a huge part of my debate career—I honestly don’t think I could’ve won half the tournaments I did without him. Between rounds, he was always there to give feedback as I redid speeches, helping me figure out exactly how to adjust them for the next round. His background in college LD was super helpful too, especially as PF started shifting more toward progressive arguments. He’s been a great mentor and always motivates me to work harder.”

“Sebastian’s mentorship was definitely transformative for my high school debate journey. Since I was a freshman, he taught me how to structure arguments, conduct in-depth research, and present with confidence. His patient guidance and insightful feedback had a significant impact on my success in tournaments and sharpened my critical thinking and public-speaking skills in ways I’ll carry with me.”

“In all honesty, I doubt I would have attained mу current level of expertise without coaching. Ηaving‍ someone like Sebastion offering support, рarticularly between rounds, proved invaluable. Ηis strate‍gic insight, approach to framing argumеnts, and methods for managing progressive debаtes provided me‍ with a distinct advantage I cоuld not have achieved independently. Coaching nоt only facilitated my‍ improvement but also revоlutionized my entire approach to debate.”
