Anoushka Johar

Coach

Introduction:

I view debate as more than a contest of logic and knowledge—it’s a transformative experience that cultivates critical thinking, open-mindedness, and collaboration. Impromptu debate has allowed me to develop my creativity and exposed me to new perspectives, which I aim to share with my students. It’s important that they build their argumentative skills alongside their curiosity, both of which will not only benefit them in debate settings but also prepare them to navigate other aspects of life with empathy and confidence. My mission is to equip students with the skills to tackle complex challenges and thrive in an ever-changing world.
