Pros
I have been in education for 9 years, and this is the most rewarding job I have ever had. I look forward to going to work every day and am sad the school year is almost over. Each class period, I work with a different group of students, which makes each day exciting and new. I tutor no more than six students per class, helping them master skills in reading and writing by providing the individualized support they need in order to succeed. I have built amazing relationships with the staff and students and know that everyone really appreciates what I do. Shayna, the president of APL, is always available to answer questions or even provide more training through various courses if needed. I took a reading course through APL that provided a lot of valuable resources and ideas that I then implemented during tutorials. The support is endless, and because of the valuable training, I feel confident that I have truly made a difference.
Cons
It is only a part-time position. I wish I could work here full-time!!
