How it works

Practice on your schedule.
Improve at your pace.

DebateBoost is built for self-paced learning. Students train whenever they have time, after school, before tournaments, or between classes, and return to the same structured coaching every session.

  1. 1

    Choose your practice area

    Pick a skill to work on: speech structure, argument construction, rebuttal, or cross-examination. DebateBoost meets you where you are.

  2. 2

    Get AI-driven coaching feedback

    The AI analyzes your arguments and delivery the way a trained debate coach would: specific, actionable, grounded in how judges actually evaluate rounds.

  3. 3

    Track your improvement over time

    See how your scores evolve across sessions. Understand not just where you are, but how far you've come.

How we evaluate

Learn the way
judges think.

DebateBoost doesn't just say "do better." Built with real judges, it mirrors the exact criteria used when scoring rounds, so every practice session is real competitive preparation.

  • Argument Strength

    Is the claim clearly stated? Is the reasoning logical and evidence well-used?

  • Responsiveness & Rebuttal

    Does the student directly engage with and undermine their opponent's case?

  • Clarity & Delivery

    Is the speech clear, organized, and easy for the panel to follow and score?

  • Strategic Decision-Making

    Is the student making smart choices about what to argue, extend, and drop?

Built with the people who know debate best
"Students do not become confident because someone says, 'be confident.' They become confident when they know what to practice, get clear feedback, and see the next speech improve."
