Coaching Programs

Debate & Public Speaking

With 13+ years of debating experience, 5+ years of coaching experience, and a record of guiding students into championship positions, I focus on more than technique – I help students strip away fear and hesitation so their real voice can emerge.

  • Speaking Skills: Building fluency and confidence in English, projecting presence, and learning how to speak with conviction in front of an audience.

  • Debating: Training in argumentation, case-building, rebuttal, and strategic thinking — suitable for both beginners and advanced students aiming to compete at high levels.

  • Competition & Interview Prep: Coaching for Debate, MUN, Mock Trial, or school team tryouts, as well as practical preparation for interviews and oral exams.

Success Stories:

  • Coached 10+ students to earn places on their schools’ varsity debate teams.

  • Trained 15+ students who achieved top tournament results (Champion, Best Delegate, 1st Runner-Up etc.)

  • Built a confidence-first program for a shy 7-year-old; he discovered a joy for self-expression and was later admitted to a leading Australian boarding school.

Profile Building & College Admissions

Through high school and at Penn, I’ve built communities and projects from the ground up, and I now bring that same approach to my students. From launching businesses to creating passion projects that stand out on applications, I help students design résumés that reflect who they truly are – while also guiding them through every stage of the college admissions process, from essays to interviews.

  • Profile Building: Identifying interests and developing them into concrete, résumé-worthy achievements — such as leading initiatives, starting projects, or taking on leadership roles in existing activities.

  • Essay Writing: Brainstorming, structuring, and line-by-line editing of the personal statement and supplements so their voice comes through with clarity and strength.

  • Application Strategy: Crafting a balanced school list, preparing for interviews, and presenting a coherent story across essays, activities, and recommendations.

College Admission Success Stories:

  • 4+ years of college application and personal statement guidance experience.

  • Students admitted into top US and UK universities: UPenn, Cornell, UCLA, USC, Oxford, LSE etc.

  • Notably, assisted a student with an IB score BELOW the admissions average to get into Northwestern University via essays and positioning.

Profile Building Success Stories:

  • Coached a 13-year-old to secure a paid graphic/design job with the Hong Kong Football Club.

  • Advised a 14-year-old in launching an online fashion retail venture, guiding sourcing and storefront setup.

  • Mentored a 16-year-old from concept to launch of an independent football sock brand (product design, supplier vetting, go-to-market).

  • Guided a 12-year-old through end-to-end development of an online game - from design brief to playable prototype.

  • Helped multiple students win student council elections, make school debate teams, and join other competitive extracurricular teams.
