Meet our '25-'26 Experienced/Advanced Senior Varsity Speech Coach, Mrs. Amy Eytchison
Our SV Speech Coach for experienced students is Amy Eytchison, mother of Ambassador Club alumna Aubrey Eytchison, a 2025 summa cum laude graduate of Union University. Those students not from Ambassador Club who do not know Amy yet will be blessed by their encouraging, supportive, disciplined, & exuberant personality.
Ambassador Club still celebrates Amy's daughter, Ambassador Club alum, Aubrey, who along with her Ambassador Club partner placed 1st in Duo Interp & 6th in Parliamentary Debate at Stoa’s May 2021 NITOC at Union. Aubrey concluded her senior year nationally ranked #1 in Humorous Interp, #2 in Dramatic Interp, & #1 in Duo Interp on Speechranks. Aubrey with her Mom's encouragement and input also excelled in every other speech & debate event in which she competed, earning the Founders' Award her senior year. Amy supported & coached both Aubrey & her Duo partner as they prepared for NITOC in tandem with the excellent coaching they received in Ambassador Club.
Along with coaching the Ambassadors for Christ speech competitors last year, including eight who qualified for & competed at nationals, Amy & Aubrey helped coach the Duo Interp team from another club that placed 2nd at NITOC 2025.
In her 2nd year as an Ambassador Club Speech Coach, Amy is a strong Christian woman, a wife to her great husband, Brian, & a veteran homeschool mom of four. She has been involved with Ambassador Club and Stoa speech & debate since 2017, especially during years she did not coach, by judging and judging at every local tournament.
She is a freelance story consultant and editor who has taught acting, storytelling, public speaking, creative writing, literature, and other classes at local Christian homeschool tutorials. She led our SV Speech Camp last year.
We still celebrate Amy's daughter, Ambassador Club alum, Aubrey, who along with her Ambassador Club partner placed first in Duo Interp at Stoa’s May 2021 NITOC at Union. Aubrey also excelled in every other speech and debate event in which she competed. Amy supported and coached both Aubrey and Ella as they prepared for NITOC in tandem with the excellent coaching they received in Ambassador Club.
Amy has personally witnessed how stepping up to the challenge of public speaking & acting in dramatic productions greatly benefited both herself & her children. She is passionate about helping others grow in courage, confidence, & valuable communication skills, knowing these are key for every area of life.
We are excited and thankful to have Amy as our '25-'26 SV Speech Coach for our experienced/advanced speech students! She is very knowledgeable about the dynamics of a great speech as we witnessed in Aubrey's excellent Duo Interp winning 1st place at NITOC ’21. We are confident all our Senior Varsity Experienced/Advanced Speech students will benefit greatly from her excellent coaching.
