“Alex was very patient and kind with our son. He was detailed and went through the thought-process and mechanics of speech writing and public speaking. Breaking it down topic by topic has been very insightful and helpful”
— Pragyna, 35 lessons with Alex
“We qualified for a national level tournament but had little experience with this level of debate. We sought Alex's tutoring help at the last minute. Alex jumped right in, highlighted what to look out for at this level of competition, and helped strengthen the case and argument preparation. Highly recommended for his patience, focus, and efficiency.
— Anya
“Alex has been coaching my daughter for close to a year her Debate school has improved dramatically since the start. Alex is friendly patient and very knowledgeable. In addition he is always very very responsive to scheduling changes. I highly recommend him to other students.”

Personalized Coaching for Your Student’s Goals

Speech & Debate

Confidence & Communication Skills
Target the areas where your student needs the most support—from organization and delivery to confidence, critical thinking, impromptu speaking, and responding under pressure.
Why Work With Alex?
I’m Alex, founder of Speaker Forge and a graduate of Princeton University, where I studied public policy and graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. My background in public speaking and debate spans four years of competition, five years of coaching, and one-on-one work with over a hundred students developing their skills as speakers and communicators.
My approach to coaching is built around what each student is actually trying to accomplish. A student preparing for a debate tournament needs something different from one working on a classroom presentation or becoming more comfortable speaking in front of others. Sessions focus on the skills most relevant to that student, with opportunities to practice, receive detailed feedback, and achieve consistent improvement over time.
