About Lumos:

Lumos runs summer programs for middle school and high school students in Newton, Lexington, Acton MA and Upper East Side NY. We teach students the basics of public speaking and debating and help the students research and prepare arguments. Our students compete in a debate tournament at the end of each summer session.

Our mission: we believe that public speaking doesn’t have to be scary and intimidating. We want speech and debate to be fun, low pressure, and a way for students to express themselves. You can read about our company at www.lumosdebate.com

Pay: You can view the in-person pay bracket here: https://tinyurl.com/lumospay

Dates: Lumos in-person camp sessions run weekly from June 26 - August 18, 2023

Location: Three separate camp locations: Acton, Newton, Lexington MA and Manhattan NY.

Time: Camp runs each day from 8:30am - 4:30pm. Instructors will be expected to arrive ahead of students each day to prep before and stay after the students leave each day to debrief, especially on the first few days of the session.

Commitment: You can apply for as few as 1 week or as many as 8 weeks. You will meet with students 5 days a week, Monday to Friday. A full week commitment is required. You may not plan to miss any class hours or class days for dates of hire.

Work Outside of Class: There will be extra preparation work at home including planning schedules and preparing for activities. For new instructors, this role could average ~1 hour of outside-of-class preparation work each day, and an additional ~4 hours for the end of week for writing individual parent emails. For experienced instructors, this time is much lower, but it is still non-trivial.

Note: We will also be hosting online sessions via zoom this summer.

Responsibilities

In this job, you’ll be working in a two-person team with one other instructor, and the two of you will be teaching a class of 10-13 students. Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning out a schedule for your students before each day.
• Teaching short lessons with slides that have been prepared for you.
• Running the activities in class every day.
• Organizing and running one-on-one coaching sessions (15 minutes each) with students to help them review concepts and improve their speeches.
• Eating and socializing with your students during lunch time.
• Making friends with each student and connecting with them.
• Individualizing teaching and activities to every student’s needs.
• Writing daily blog posts for parents, and sending them in the evening.
• Writing lengthy progress updates for parents through email.

Requirements

• You do need to have a laptop
• You do need a smartphone with storage that allows you to take pictures (we send parents pictures of our class activities every day, 4 pictures of each student).
• You do not need prior debate experience to work at Lumos, although debate experience is very helpful if you are teaching at our Debate Institute program. We will prep all instructors without debate experience on the basics of debate, and assign you into roles that match your strengths and experience.

Our goal is to get the students to love public speaking and debate so they will gain confidence, work on core skills, and for many, join their school’s debate teams. Our most important goal is for the students to have fun, because we want them to associate learning public speaking/debate and fun together.

Job Training

Training documents will be provided. You will also be provided with example blog posts, example parent emails, and a database of activities you can utilize to plan your daily schedules.

Housing and Transportation

Housing and transportation are not provided by Lumos. You must supply your own housing and transportation to and from camp.
