Articulate your values. Argue your position. Access your potential.
Being a powerful and persuasive communicator is not a matter of simple personality or innate charisma. The ability to speak in public, deliver a presentation, or debate a point are not characteristics. They are skills. Like all skills, with the right tools and coaching, they can be developed, improved, and perfected. Whether you are preparing for a presentation, entering a debate tournament, or simply trying to overcome public speaking anxiety, Rhetorica coaches are here to help you realize your goals through custom created classes and individualized training.
For Schools and Teachers
In order to confront social division and tackle global scale problems, our next generation of leaders will need to not only be able to persuasively express their own ideas and values, but also will have to truly understand and engage with opposing points of view. Rhetorica classes are centered around empowering students and giving them the confidence to change the world. We offer custom designed classes centering around Debate, Model UN, and Public Speaking, Negotiation, and Leadership, so that every student can access their full potential and communicate their passion. Rhetorica also offers coaching for teachers looking to integrate experiential debate formats into their subject area curricula.
Student and Individual Coaching
Great coaching works by setting individualized goals and creating a personalized curriculum to target specific skills. Personal and small group tutoring sessions are designed to identify what factor is holding you back and come up with a plan to help you overcome those obstacles. Whether it is nailing refutations in competitive debate, taking questions from reporters, or delivering a compelling keynote - fine tuned practice is key to developing your skills.
