About

2025-2026 Policy Debate Topic: "The United States federal government should significantly increase its exploration and/or development of the Arctic."🏔️❄️🪖

What exactly does this topic mean⁉️ In these sessions, we will dissect the topic, and have real time conversations on the domestic and foreign implications of how potential policies could advocate for this, or advocate against it. 👩‍⚖️📖🌏

Each week (hopefully), we will dissect what exactly makes Policy Debate so unique from the other forms (Public, Lincoln Douglass, etc.) We will look at cases, and discuss the pros and cons. I will increase your understanding of Stock Issues, and when to utilize them in arguments.⚖️ We will cover the different strategies as the negative and affirmative by looking at DA's, T's, and K's. Lastly, we will engage in real time discuss on politics and how the USFG plays a part in foreign politics! 👨‍⚖️🏛️

I am a high schooler from Texas, and I love to share knowledge! I am also going music and sciences enthusiast, so I love tutoring on those subjects. I am also part of my school’s debate team and I have an affinity for social studies, so I also enjoy tutoring in those areas! Additionally, I have been to multiple college fly-ins and admissions workshops, so I am also willing to help anyone with college application reviews, essays, or just admissions in general (from the admission officers I have learned through)!
