Who it's for
For Philadelphia families who want a real coaching relationship instead of a one-off workshop. From Center City to Chestnut Hill to the Main Line, Philadelphia families skip the commute and get a dedicated coach from home. Coaching is fully online, so your child gets individual attention from home that a group class cannot match.
Why families choose TalkMaze
What makes it work
A dedicated coach, no commute
The same coach every week over live video. Philadelphia families skip the drive and get steadier progress from real continuity.
Built for what Philadelphia students face
Philadelphia's scholastic debate league runs on Public Forum, backed by Penn for Youth Debate, and the city's special-admission high schools like Central and Masterman admit on grades, attendance, and testing. We coach the exact skills those moments reward: a clear structure, calm delivery, and thinking on your feet.
Scheduling that fits your week
Coaches schedule around Eastern Time, including after-school and weekend slots. You pick slots that work around school and activities.
Individual attention a group can’t match
Because it is 1-on-1, every minute is your child practicing and getting feedback, not waiting for a turn.
TalkMaze is an online communication academy offering 1-on-1 public speaking and debate coaching for students ages 5 to 17.
Founder Ghalia Aamer is a national debate competitor, TEDx speaker, and Princess Diana Award recipient, and every coach is trained on the method she built.
“This helps my 2 boys with building their ability to organize and prepare for talks.”
