Learn the Basics of Public Speaking and debate!

Students will learn the basics of debate including how to write a case, how to use evidence, how to do a cross examination, and how to give a rebuttal. Your child will also get lots of public speaking practice to improve their projection, body language, eye contact, and get lots and lots of practice giving speeches!

All our programs have a guaranteed 4:1 student teacher ratio so that every child gets ample opportunity to speak. Even in an online format, we'll have fun games, speaking activities, and dynamic instructors that students love at Lumos!

4:1 Student Teacher ratio

We've found that, especially for online coaching, having a small class size is absolutely critical for making sure that every student gets to speak - even our shy or more reluctant students! The 4:1 student teacher ratio also means that our instructors really get to know each child's strengths and weaknesses and provide targeted coaching throughout the week.

Private Coaching Built-In

The most effective teaching we do is in one-on-one coaching with students. These highly-focused sessions lead to immense growth in each student's capabilities, because they get immediate feedback on their volume, voice, and tone. Our schedule has been designed to emphasize one-on-one coaching, personal feedback, and lots of public speaking practice!
