Duluth families come to Rhetrix from across the Gwinnett County schools. We work with students from Duluth High School and the surrounding cluster, from nearby Peachtree Ridge High School, and from the private and charter schools throughout the area. Wherever a student attends, the goal is the same: helping them speak with presence in the rooms that count, from a class presentation to a college interview to a scholarship panel.
Because Duluth sits about 45 minutes east of our Woodstock base, the most practical fit for most families is live 1:1 virtual coaching: the full Rhetrix method over Zoom, with real-time feedback, on a schedule that does not involve crossing the metro. It is especially effective for targeted preparation, a college interview, a scholarship panel, a presentation that matters. Sessions run $200 each, and families who want the immersive version can still join the in-person summer day camp in Woodstock for a five-day intensive.
Rhetrix is not debate and not theater. It is communication-presence coaching for real rooms: interviews, presentations, discussions, the moments where a student has to think and speak at the same time. Our four tracks match where a student is: New World for 6th grade, Rise Ready for 7th and 8th, Break Through for 9th and 10th, and Leading Edge for 11th and 12th. Every student presents every session and gets individual feedback every session, whether in a cohort or one on one.
What Duluth parents ask us most.
What is the best way for a Duluth family to do Rhetrix?
For most Duluth families, live 1:1 virtual coaching is the best fit. It delivers the full Rhetrix method over Zoom at $200 per session, with individual feedback in real time and no 45-minute drive to Woodstock. Families who want the week-long immersive version can join the in-person summer day camp in Woodstock, which runs five weekday sessions of 90 minutes each for $750.
Which Duluth-area schools do Rhetrix students come from?
Our Duluth students come from across the Gwinnett County Public Schools, including Duluth High School and its cluster and nearby Peachtree Ridge High School, along with private and charter schools in the area. Because coaching is virtual, a student's school does not affect how or when they work with us.
Does public speaking coaching actually work over Zoom?
Yes. The 1:1 format is built for it. A student presents live on camera every session and gets specific, in-the-moment feedback on delivery, structure, and presence, the same feedback they would get in the room. For focused goals like a college interview, a scholarship panel, or a graded presentation, virtual coaching is often the most efficient way to prepare.
What does Rhetrix cost, and what grades is it for?
Rhetrix serves students in grades 6 through 12. Live 1:1 virtual coaching is $200 per session, the in-person summer day camp in Woodstock is $750 for the week, and the fall and spring cohorts at North Atlanta partner schools are $650 for five weekly sessions. Which format fits best usually comes down to a family's goals and location.
