StudyCore's debate program transformed me from someone afraid to speak in front of my class to the captain of my school's debate team. The skills I've gained are invaluable and helped me secure admission to Yale with a strong interview performance.

As a naturally shy student, I never imagined I could excel in debate. StudyCore's coaches created a supportive environment where I could gradually build my skills and confidence. Now I've won multiple championships and plan to study law.
