Rhetrix works with students across the Central Gwinnett, Discovery, and Mountain View attendance areas, along with families at private and charter schools throughout Lawrenceville and greater Gwinnett County. Coaching is organized into four tracks by grade: New World for 6th grade, Rise Ready for 7th and 8th, Break Through for 9th and 10th, and Leading Edge for 11th and 12th. Each track meets students where they are, from a first graded presentation to a senior preparing for interviews and scholarship panels.
Because Lawrenceville sits about fifty minutes from 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 doesn't involve crossing the metro on I-85 twice a week. Sessions are $200 each and are especially effective for targeted preparation, a college interview, a scholarship panel, a class presentation that matters. For families who want a full immersion, the summer day camp in Woodstock runs five weekday mornings in 90-minute sessions for $750, held at Woodstock Community Church, 4411 Towne Lake Pkwy.
Rhetrix is not debate and not theater. It is communication-presence coaching for the real rooms students actually walk into: interviews, presentations, and discussions where being clear and composed changes the outcome. Cohorts cap at 14 to 18 students, everyone presents every session, and every student gets individual feedback every time, so no one hides in the back row. It suits the quiet student who freezes when called on and the confident one who needs to sound less rehearsed and more like themselves.
What Lawrenceville parents ask us most.
What is the best way for a Lawrenceville family to do Rhetrix?
For most Lawrenceville families, live 1:1 virtual coaching is the best fit. It delivers the full Rhetrix method over Zoom with individual feedback every session, at $200 per session, without the fifty-minute drive to Woodstock. If you want a week-long, in-person intensive, the summer day camp in Woodstock is the alternative, running five weekday mornings for $750.
Which Lawrenceville-area schools does Rhetrix work with?
We coach students from across the Lawrenceville area, including families zoned for Central Gwinnett High School, Discovery High School, and Mountain View High School, plus private and charter school students throughout Gwinnett County. Because the primary format is virtual, we are not tied to any single campus and can work with any Lawrenceville student in grades 6 through 12.
Does virtual coaching actually work for public speaking?
Yes. Public speaking is about how you come across on camera and in the room, and 1:1 virtual sessions let a coach watch closely, stop and reset in the moment, and give feedback the student applies right away. Many families find the focused, one-on-one format over Zoom sharpens delivery faster than a larger group, and it is well suited to preparing for a specific interview, panel, or presentation.
What grades and prices does Rhetrix offer for Lawrenceville students?
Rhetrix serves students in grades 6 through 12 across four grade-based tracks: New World, Rise Ready, Break Through, and Leading Edge. Live 1:1 virtual coaching is $200 per session. The in-person summer day camp in Woodstock is $750 for five weekday mornings, and the fall and spring cohorts are $650 for five weekly sessions at North Atlanta partner schools.
