Sasan Kasravi

In his 13 years of experience coaching debate, Sasan has coached more than thousand students of all ages and backgrounds, including running the top junior college debate programs in the country (Diablo Valley College, 2013-2022), the top high school debate program in New York State (Stuyvesant High School, 2025-2026), and teaching at the top elementary and middle school after school debate programs in California (Golden State Academy 2017-2019, ModernBrain 2019-2020, Athens Debate 2020-2022). He runs Proteus Debate Academy, one of the largest free resources for debate education on the internet, and brings years of classroom teaching experience from his years as the Director of Curriculum at the Brooklyn Debate League, a non-profit that starts debate programs at high schools across New York City. His approach to teaching debate has captured national recognition including being featured in Humans of New York (2025), Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast (2023), and being referenced by authors in print (Beyond Dispute, 2025). His passion is to make his students fall in love with debate, whether that leads to them becoming a national champion or just negotiating a bit more screen time.
