Amazing Oppurtunity

Pros

It's a pretty great job where you have an understanding boss and a flexible schedule. Every day is different and exciting due to all the varied interactions you get to have with the students. It a great gateway into teaching, if that's your passion.

Cons

If you don't enjoy being around kids, this may not be the job for you.
