As founder and head coach of the Pickering College debate team (Polikon Society), as well as executive member of the Fulford Debating League of Ontario, Tamer discovered that when structured properly, debating comes naturally to most students. At Debating Edge, Tamer personally instructs Level 1-3 students in all cohorts (Gr. 4-6, Gr. 7-9, Gr. 10-12).
Let your kids discover the magic of debate in the comfort and security of their own home. You will be amazed at all that's possible in our virtual classroom! Senior students (age 13+) have the option to venture on occasion from the Zoom Pro platform and explore the Debating Edge: Rhetorical Fortress in the Metaverse!
In a world inundated with fleeting digital interactions, it is more important than ever for us to take the time to really connect. We work to cultivate in young people both a love of learning and the art of communication. We aspire to empower our younger generation to affect positive change in their lives and in our world.
