Our coaching provides students with skills that extend far beyond the debate room
Debate coaching teaches students to think deeply, challenge assumptions, and analyse ideas from every angle — skills that go far beyond the classroom.
About Us
Hi, I'm Leonard Cavallaro, Founder and Head of Tutoring at Castles of Logic. My mission here is simple: to help students learn how to think, argue, and speak with power.
As a senior debater, adjudicator, and coach, I believe that students deserve tutors who genuinely care. I also believe there's something powerful about young people teaching young people — offering students a relatable mentor who knows the competitions inside and out because they were just in the ring themselves.
Beyond debate, I'm an award-winning creative writer, a prolific high-end content writer, and a Youth Parliamentarian. The written and spoken word has been my weapon in life — and now I've built a method to help students wield it with the same clarity and conviction.
My world-first Castle Methodology is transforming how students learn debate. It combines clarity, structure, and strategy into a practical system that students can actually apply under pressure.
My coaching is sharp, encouraging, and always tailored to the student. I don't just teach "how to rebut" — I teach how to think like a strategist, speak like a leader, and grow as a communicator.
If you're ready to win debates and build confidence for life, let's get started.
