Hi, I'm Jerin Parker. I'm a debate and public speaking coach with almost ten years of teaching experience. Through competition, I earned the National Forensic League Quadruple Ruby, and I competed in debate and public speaking through high school and university in the TFA, UIL and NFL systems. I now coach World Scholar's Cup and SPAR debate. My ClaimLore resources use the Steelman Method: students argue the other side's case before making their own, so they learn to reason, listen, and speak with confidence.
