About Archana
I’m a debate coach with 10 years of experience, driven by a strong interest in learning, teaching, and helping others express themselves with clarity and confidence. I’ve also served as a debate judge for multiple international championships over the past 8 years and specialize in the British Parliamentary debate style. My expertise extends to:
- Language instruction (English and Malay).
- Soft skills training, particularly in public speaking and debating.
I’ve had the privilege of working with over 400 students from diverse countries, including China, Singapore, Korea, Egypt, Morocco, the UK and the USA.
In just the last 12 months, I’ve consistently trained more than 60 students, helping them develop:
- Confidence.
- Critical thinking skills.
- Communication skills.
These outcomes are achieved through engaging and structured sessions.
I find great joy in hearing students share their thoughts on complex and meaningful topics. As a creative educator, I adapt my teaching style to each student’s needs to ensure lessons are not only effective but also enjoyable. My approach is:
- Highly interactive.
- Feedback-driven.
- Rooted in real-world application.
- A balance of structure and spontaneity to maintain engagement.
Whether through 1-on-1 coaching or group sessions, I tailor each class to match the learner’s preference and pace. My calm, friendly, and approachable demeanor helps create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to learn, speak, and grow.

I am a certified debate trainer with a strong passion for public speaking and British Parliamentary Debate. I offer structured training for both beginners and advanced students. In addition, I have extensive experience teaching English and Malay linguistics to beginners, with a focus on:
- Grammar.
- Intonation.
- Pronunciation.
My language sessions emphasize peer-to-peer interaction to help build fluency and confidence in communication.
Since the age of 18, I’ve worked with students providing engaging, level-appropriate instruction tailored to each learner’s:
- Background.
- Learning pace.
Each session is one hour long and carefully structured to balance:
- Explanation.
- Activities.
- Practice.
In linguistics, I break down complex concepts with clarity. In debating, I use a mix of:
- Games.
- Exercises.
- Mock debates.
—making sessions dynamic and enjoyable.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve conducted public speaking and debate training for students aged 12 and above, both virtually and in person. My debate program progresses through five levels, covering skills from foundational to competitive. Students learn to master:
- Logical reasoning
- Rebuttals and fallacy identification
- Argument structure (e.g., PEEL)
- Advanced strategies for motions of varying difficulty
I also integrate topic-based explorations to enrich learning, including:
- Mock Trials (Law).
- Business Pitching (Entrepreneurship).
- Ethical Dilemmas (Philosophy).
These help sharpen students’ critical thinking beyond traditional formats.
I offer both individual (1-to-1) and group classes, based on each student’s preference. I take pride in being a patient, creative, and flexible teacher, tailoring my approach to meet students' intellectual and emotional needs. I also encourage independent learning by equipping students with the tools and routines they need for self-discipline and lifelong growth.

Recommendations

Training under Archana was both enjoyable and incredibly enriching. She had a unique way of making every session engaging and dynamic, which made learning feel natural and even fun.
One of the most valuable things she taught me was the importance of structure, content, clarity, and relevance in every argument. She showed me how these elements are the foundation of persuasive communication — not just in debates, but in real-life discussions as well.
She also played a big role in helping me develop confidence in public speaking. Through her guidance and encouragement, I became more comfortable expressing my thoughts clearly and standing my ground in front of an audience.
The materials and techniques she used were effective and thoughtfully prepared. Each session was well-organised.
Overall, it was a great learning experience with Archana.
I highly recommend Archana as an exceptional debate tutor. They have a deep understanding of the subject and, more importantly, the rare ability to communicate that knowledge effectively to their students. Their interactive teaching style focuses on hands-on practice rather than passive note-taking, which has made a noticeable difference in my child's learning.
Thanks to Archana’s approach, my child not only understands debate better but also feels more confident using it. Their dedication shines through in the quality of the materials they use, the clarity of their instruction, and their unwavering commitment to their students’ growth. Anyone looking for a tutor who is both knowledgeable and genuinely invested in their students’ success will be in great hands with Archana.Ms. Archana's speech and debate class has been transformative for many students. Over ten students have shown remarkable progress under her expert guidance. Parents consistently provide positive feedback, highlighting their children's newfound confidence and communication skills.
Her engaging teaching style and genuine care for each student create an inspiring learning environment. Ms. Archana's dedication to fostering critical thinking and public speaking abilities is truly commendable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their skills!View more recommendations
