Uncompromising standards with unparalleled value
We set the bar for excellent instructors. We firmly believe that debaters of all levels deserve exceptional coaches, and we've taken proactive measures to assemble a team of instructors unparalleled by any other debate program. At Libertas Debate Academy, our elite staff is our differentiating factor.
Instructor | Samantha Gerber
Samantha Gerber debated for St. Luke’s School for four years, serving as team captain and
competing in national circuit Public Forum. While she is well-versed in lay and technical debate,
Samantha most enjoys progressive argumentation -- particularly kritiks. During her debate
career, Samantha reached late elimination rounds at various tournaments, earned many speaker
awards, and qualified for Gold TOC in her sophomore, junior, and senior years, making it to
finals in 2024. She’s excited to join TDI x Libertas this summer!
