Tech Instructor

June - July 2022 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

Working with kids and making a positive impact on them!

What I wish was different

Communication was a mess. They forgot to add me to their emails, so I never got the orientation change. They also gave me my paycheck 2 weeks late. Training could've been much more thorough; they don't actually help you with teaching kids that are neurodivergent or have neurodevelopment disorders. This was frustrating because I really wanted to be a good influence on them, but the company couldn't help me.

Advice

You'll be teaching many different kids from different backgrounds. I ended up doing a lot of research on how to teach different kids, and it really helped me through until I ultimately decided to resign.

Technology Instructor

June - August 2018 • Fort Washington, PA

What I liked

I liked working with kids and revisiting my coding skills.

What I wish was different

The syllabi they provide can be kind of a mess and don't necessarily work for each group of kids. It can also be kind of hectic jumping around to different sites.

Advice

Be flexible and don't worry about things too much because the kids will have a good time regardless.

Camp Counselor

June - August 2018 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

Adapting to work with children for long periods of time was a very fun and rewarding experience.

What I wish was different

Determining with other counselors how to delegate equipment (which at times there was not enough equipment to fit our needs) and setting it up under a strict time constraint at the beginning of each week was frequently difficult.
