About

If you enjoy discussing and arguing about things, this is the place for you. Here we will learn and debate in the form of policy debate. We will be using last year's topic since there are not a lot of resources for this topic. We will learn about the types of arguments and the vocabulary used in this form. I have been debating for 3 years and have judged a few tournaments. I hope you will like it too. The key to enjoying debate is by participating in activities. There will be a tournament at the end so that you can see your progress.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Do not miss sessions because the arguments are built upon each other. But sometimes it happens. If you are going to miss any let me know beforehand.

About the Tutor

I'm a student who likes to help others with school work. My favorite subject is mathematics as it is a lens for us to see the world. I have a great interest in science, specifically physics. I have a passion for policy debate and I have been debating for the past 4 years and have judged a few tournaments. Some other extracurriculars I am involved in are, robotics team and ping pong club. My robotics team partakes in First Robotics Competitions. I hope to share my knowledge and learn a few skills from this website.
