Our speakers
Strong, experienced debaters of many ages. They know how to explain ideas clearly, stay calm under pressure, and listen well. Everyone is trained before they chat with anyone.
We are speech and debate students who love helping people feel confident when they speak.
We pair people who want to practice English with a friendly speaker from our team. A casual chat, one hour a week, free.
Strong, experienced debaters of many ages. They know how to explain ideas clearly, stay calm under pressure, and listen well. Everyone is trained before they chat with anyone.
We have all been there: heart beating fast, worried about how we sound and what people think. We worked through it, and now we are good at helping others do the same.

See what we doBefore a big debate round, our hands shake. Before a job interview, a speech, or a phone call, most people feel the same way. You worry about how you sound. You worry about what people think.
We have been in those moments many times. We practiced. We learned that confidence is not something you are born with. It is something you build, one conversation at a time.
Now we are good at helping other people build it. Our team has debaters of many ages and levels, and they love a good conversation.
It is relaxed. You and your partner talk, online, for an hour. You can talk about anything. Your day, your family, your favorite food, or a job interview you are nervous about. Your partner listens, waits, and helps when you ask.
We also visit schools. That is our smaller program. We bring a friendly lesson about welcoming new classmates.
We are new, and we are growing. If you want to know how things are going, just ask. We will tell you.
It is a chat, not a class. No grades, no pressure, no homework.
Take your time. Your partner will wait while you find the words.
Everyone makes them, even us. They are how we learn.
We never share what you tell us, and we never tell anyone’s story without asking first.
We only ask your name and how to reach you. Nothing else.
We are building friendships with schools, libraries, and workplaces across the county. If you would like to chat about working together, write to us.
