My goal is to provide children with an engaging and fruitful experience that will facilitate social, emotional, and intellectual growth. From September 2013 to November 2015, I volunteered my time at Little Broncos Day School as an aide and a student teacher. I conducted lessons with groups of four to five children in science, art, language, and mathematics. From January to May of 2016, I was a student teacher intern at Barbara B. Rose Elementary School, working in kindergarten, first grade, and fourth grade classrooms. I worked one-on-one with students with their schoolwork and managed behavior in larger groups as well. I had spent the summers of 2014-16 at Barrington Hills Country Club as a lifeguard. Thus, safety is a priority to me. I have experience in predicting possible dangers and noticing the small potential hazards in a situation. In addition, I have taught young beginners as a private swim Read more instructor. A large part of this job is building the confidence of the child to begin swimming and using positive reinforcement to develop the child's technique. My unique skills: -Building lesson plans and executing them -Safety procedures and precautions -Knowledge in child development -Swimming instructor -Tutor
