Rifayat Wafee
Coach
My 14-year journey with debating comes from the love of conversations about the lives of people. Any topic discussed inevitably revolves around the impact on people. Over time I have started to love sharing with young minds the way to frame and structure the thoughts leading to impactful conversations. My coaching philosophy focuses on approaching with a positive mindset and establishing clarity of thought, with the hope that when students achieve a clearer thought process, they garner an innate confidence to speak on just about any issue. The pre-requisite of learning is for the students to feel connected to their learning environment and content, and I hope to personalize my teachings to deliver that for every student.
