She is the Head Coach for her debating society Tilbury House and coaches school and university debating nationally and internationally. Helena is especially passionate about coaching and helping her “Ducklings”, as she calls the students she coaches, to develop as debaters and firmly believes that with the right support, every debater can achieve their full potential.
