      • Aug 2014 - Aug 2015

      Basic duties: Graded essays, looked after and picked up children after school, assisted kids from K-12 with homework, did basic cleaning, and taught from workbooks to children in a small group setting. At Leap Education, we didn't believe in forcing children to work; we would rather interest them in working on their own. Developing strong reading skills is our primary focus so we often held discussions on what was read and even made the kids copy passages. During free time, there are many books of different levels and genres for the students to browse in each room. Show less
