Debate Coaching
Competitive Debate Coaching
Want to win WUDC, EUDC, or WSDC this year? Training with me one-on-one, you’ll become an accomplished champion. The difference between a good debater and a champion lies in professional training.

"I had stage fright when I started debating. It wouldn't have been possible for me to become Europe's and the world's champion if Monica hadn't coached me. "
(Hadar Goldberg, Tel Aviv University Law School student)
Way beyond good adjudication
Many of us are eager to improve our debate skills, but the means at our disposal are often limited. Registering for every competition or watching another online workshop out of a thousand, does not necessarily result in focusing intelligently on our exact performance-related or mental needs. While these strategies are definitely tiring and time-consuming, they do not put us on an effective path to success - as individuals or as teams. At times, we might even find ourselves incapable of diagnosing what we need to work on. University debate societies are great but can only offer limited practice time, and little attention and adjudicator feedback. Hence, it does not always allow you to acquire advanced skills.
If you are serious about your success in debating and want to maximize your efforts this year, say no more!
We will build a personalized training program, in which you will receive undivided attention and exclusive emphasis on your personal and dual improvement - from any starting point all the way to lifting that trophy.
In a series of weekly sessions (give or take), we will
- Practice individual skills.
- Improve your teamwork, in prep and during the debate.
- Work on debating in English - with specific tips and tracks for ESLs and EFLs.
- Design goal-oriented drills and homework assignments.
- Debrief your performance at previous tournaments.
- Prepare for majors in particular - based on my participating experience.
- Learn advanced new skills.
- Develop your personal speaking style (to improve clarity and speaks).
I am the right fit for you if you are
My successes as a coach
In recent years, apart from coaching university societies (where I have raised many champions), I have privately coached non-Israeli speakers, leading them to major success. After just a few months of work, they achieved the following results: WUDC ESL Finalists, WUDC EFL Finalists, EUDC breaks in both language categories.
