Moraitis School
I had the privilege of being the forensics coach of some very bright students in Moraitis School. This involved teaching speech, argumentation, logical thinking and rhetoric skills as well as creative skills for acting and interpreting literature. This has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life and one of the driving reasons for my decision to join academia. I am constantly impressed by ingenuity these kids can showcase.Deree College, Oxford Union
