About Allison
Hi y'all! I'm Allison. I am a teacher, PhD student in Law, and a pug mom.
For the last ten years, I have taught public speaking to students from age 8 to 65. I am a certified public speaking instructor, a lecturer, and a former speech and debate competitor and coach. I completed my Bachelors at Rice University (Texas, USA) and my Masters at the University of Oxford and the LSE.
I have been a teacher in the past, and I feel comfortable with any level of student, as well as offering professional guidance on presentations and interviews. I'd love to offer my assistance however I can!

Have you ever stood up to present to a classroom, a boardroom, or your local council and then suddenly forgot everything you knew? Or maybe you struggle to find the right words to communicate to your boss, colleagues, friends, or family? Perhaps, your child is struggling to express themselves to their teachers or classmates, or you are struggling to have impromptu interactions in public.
If these scenarios are familiar, I might be the right tutor for you!
My teaching method is based on your needs. I have taught 1-to-1 basic classes that cover practices of effective public speaking; simulation classes of interviews, speeches, and business management; and individual and group lessons to children on confidence when speaking or singing.
I have worked with children as young as 8 and adults working in business, energy, healthcare, hospitality, government, influencing, consulting, and professional sport. From students with crippling presentation anxiety to nearly polished speakers, there is no public speaking barrier we can't work through as a team.
For my lessons, I do a consultation (free) lesson with all students where we talk through your struggles and my teaching approach. My not-so-secret approach is that we make it fun! I want to know your concerns are and tailor a plan accordingly, and along the way, there will be laughs, mistakes, and learning!

I have had the honor of knowing Allison for nearly 14 years now, and have seen her speak in a wide variety of venues. Allison is a phenomenal public speaker, but more, she is an equally fantastic coach and mentor. She is extremely talented at helping her mentees rigorously research topics of interest and proceed to construct well-structured speeches. But I think what additionally distinguishes Allison is the fact that, above all, Allison centers the growth of the individuals she mentors.
Allison helps her mentees become better public speakers through skill, like other coaches. But Allison also ensures that these skills go hand in hand with building the self-confidence of the mentee she is working with. She sees her mentees as people first and foremost --- I have witnessed many situations in which Allison was far more understanding, empathetic, and constructive then any mentor or coach I have seen before. I believe that anyone lucky to have her as a public speaking coach or mentor is guaranteed to be very successful, with Allison helping build that success on a deeper foundation of her mentees' passion, self-confidence, and other attributes that are core to who they are.Allison has helped take my writing from decent to outstanding. She has provided wonderful guidance, coaching, and edits for writing I have completed in both academic and professional settings, including my graduate thesis and application materials for scholarships and jobs. Allison is also very personable and patient and helped improve my self-confidence as a writer. I highly recommend her!
Allison wrote many of my speeches while serving on elected positions. I would provide her with my ideas and she put them in speech form and worked with me on delivery. She also reviewed articles for publication and vastly improved them.
Allison helped me immeasurably with application essays when I decided to pursue a public health graduate degree, after 30 years of practicing medicine, but no recent academic experience. She can help you organize and assemble your thoughts - and can ably coach you to present them, whether written or spoken. She has the knowledge, insight, and confidence to help you succeed. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!
I have known Allison for many years, starting with our time competing together on a university speech and debate team. By far the most accomplished speaker and communicator I know, Allison also has a knack for passing down those skills to her students. I would 100% trust her to improve anyone's public speaking skills, regardless of experience, age, or background. Learning from her is an absolute joy.
I work for a large medical corporation in the US. Allison taught me business presentation skills to help me overcome my severe anxiety in presenting. We did speaking drills, structure lessons, and lots of practice speeches. I still feel nervous, but when I give executive level presentations, I no longer worry about how I will sound because I know I have the tools to do a good job.
Former Oxford grad, now working at Big 4 Consultancy.
I regularly use Allison for support in improving document structure and flow. She reviewed my resume and improved it by leaps and bounds, both visually and grammatically.
Additionally, I used her for coaching and feedback when interviewing for a new corporate role at several Big 4 consultancies, and successfully received multiple offers as a result.
10/10 would recommend.Alison McKibban has substantial experience as a very successful competitive speaker and as an instructor in speech and debate. Allison was a nationally ranked speech competitor throughout her high school and university years in the U.S. She was in the top 5 current events speakers in the U.S. in 2017. During her competition years, she was universally regarded as among the top 1% of competitive speakers. Allison combined her incredible talent with a passion for speaking on social justice topics; she has extensive experience not merely as a "good speaker," but also as an ethical speaker. Finally, Allison has extensive experience imparting this skill to others. She was an exceptional peer coach at Rice University and has taught at multiple speech and debate summer institutes. As one of her teachers, I am very proud to say that Allison is herself a fantastic teacher. I strongly encourage anyone seeking rhetorical training to take every opportunity to work with Allison McKibban.
