What services does Atlantic Ivy offer?

Atlantic Ivy offers comprehensive educational programs including debate training, public speaking classes, university admissions consulting, academic writing programs, tournament training, summer intensives, and corporate communication training. We serve students aged 5-18 and professionals across Dubai and globally online.

Who are your instructors?

Atlantic Ivy was founded by Ricky Huang, former Director of Training at the Oxford Union. Our coaches include debaters from Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, and Columbia who have competed at the highest international levels. Many have won major tournaments like the World Universities Debating Championship and have trained national teams.

Do you offer online classes?

Yes! We offer live online classes for debate, public speaking, and academic writing programs. Students worldwide can join our expert-led sessions via Zoom with the same quality instruction as our in-person Dubai classes.

What age groups do you serve?

We welcome students from age 5 through 18, with age-appropriate programs at every level. Public speaking starts at ages 5-6, competitive debate typically begins around 10-12, and we offer advanced programs for teenagers. We also provide executive coaching and corporate training for professionals.

Where are you located in Dubai?

Our Dubai training center is at 12AC12 I-Rise Tower in Barsha Heights, easily accessible from Dubai Marina, JLT, and Media City. We offer both in-person classes at this location and live online classes for students anywhere in the world.

Can I try a class before enrolling?

Absolutely! We offer free 2-hour trial classes so your child can experience our teaching approach before committing. Book your trial class anytime—no payment required, no commitment necessary.

What results have your students achieved?

At the Harvard Invitational 2026, our students achieved a 30% break rate with teams reaching elimination rounds and speakers placing in top rankings out of 466 competitors. Our students regularly place at Stanford, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge tournaments, and many have been admitted to top universities worldwide.

How do I choose the right program?

Start by exploring the specific service area you're interested in—whether that's debate, public speaking, consulting, or another vertical. Each program page provides detailed information about curriculum, age groups, and scheduling. You can also book a free consultation to discuss your goals with our team.
