Lumos runs summer programs for middle school and high school students. We teach students the basics of speech and debate, and help the students research and prepare cases. Our students eventually compete in a debate tournament at the end of in-person summer sessions.

Up To $1000/week

Full-Time Summer Position (Newton, Lexington, Acton, Milton MA and Manhattan, NY): June 27, 2022 - August 19, 2022

Note: This job description is for live, in-person summer camp sessions to be held in Acton, Newton, Lexington, Milton MA and Manhattan NY (conditional on CDC/MA state covid guidelines). We will also be hosting online sessions via zoom this summer. To read the job description for summer online sessions via zoom, click here.

About Lumos:

Lumos runs summer programs for middle school and high school students in Newton, Lexington, Acton, Milton MA and Manhattan 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

Job Description:

Pay: You can view the in-person pay bracket here.

Dates: Lumos in-person camp sessions run weekly from June 27 - August 19, 2022

Location: Three separate camp locations: Acton, Newton, Lexington, Milton MA and Manhattan, NY (conditional on CDC/MA state Covid guidelines)

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.

Covid-19 Safety Measures: We will be taking precautions in accordance with CDC and MA state guidelines to create a safe environment for all students and instructors.

Note: We will also be hosting online sessions via zoom this summer. To read the job description for summer online sessions via zoom, click here.

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.

Why YOU SHOULD Take This Job:

It’s Really Rewarding to Watch Kids Grow and Develop Skills

You witness kids transform over the course of one to two weeks. You’ll see a student who was completely silent on day one, but becomes able to give a full 4 minute impromptu speech by the end, because of your encouragement and guidance. It’s a great feeling.

When there’s a student who is really shy and antisocial - and you brainstorm 12 different ways to help them get out of their shell, but all of them don’t work, and finally after 4 days, you make a breakthrough and the student laughs for the first time in class - that’s awesome.

Lots of Autonomy

Lumos managers trust your judgment. You are of course accountable to deliver excellent results (students that really love learning public speaking/debate and really love Lumos), but how you get those results is up to you. You will be given close to complete autonomy to explore creative avenues and to follow your judgment. For example: we have a curriculum outline that you can follow if you choose to do so, but you do not have to. If you have a better idea, go for it. If we hired you, it’s because we really trust you.

Why You Should Not Take This Job:

You Don’t Love Talking to Kids

Almost the entire time you are working, you will be working with kids. If you don’t like talking with kids, this is just going to be very boring and tiring for you.

You’re Afraid of Hard Work

We deliver an incredible summer experience for parents and students. The way we do that is by working really hard and going the extra mile for students/parents. If you love working really hard, persisting through difficulties by finding creative solutions, and getting incredible results, you’ll love our culture. If you are used to cutting corners, or doing things just “good enough”, this will be a hard adjustment to make.
