Who it's for
For Seattle families who want a real coaching relationship instead of a one-off workshop. From Capitol Hill to Ballard to Bellevue and Redmond, Seattle-area families skip the bridge traffic 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. Seattle families skip the drive and get steadier progress from real continuity.
Built for what Seattle students face
Washington runs its state speech and debate championship each March through the WIAA and the Washington State Forensics Association, and the University of Washington's Robinson Center runs a summer speech and debate program right in Seattle. 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 Pacific 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.
“My 10 year old went from 0 to 100 real quick. She loves her sessions and I see so much improvement.”
