I have worked with many children with learning deficits and many who just need encouragement and an extra push. I worked for an AmeriCorps program in Chicago, tutoring children in reading, writing, math, history and science. I also ran educational after school activities that helped with team building and focus.
I am patient, energetic, and responsible. In addition, I am optimistic, caring, adaptable. I like working with kids because they are the best teachers and I love their desire to learn. I'm looking for a weekly reoccurring job, but i'm open to one time gigs. I am ready to take on responsibilities at someone else's house, although...
