I liked intertacting with students and helping them with math. I also enjoyed taking up a leadership role in training all of the staff and creating lesson plans for students.
What I wish was different
I wish we had more students. The center was new and had its grand opening in June 2019.
Advice
Take advantage of all the resources that Mathnasium provides for the instructors to strengthen their mathematic and teaching skills.

What I wish was different
I wouldn't really change anything, it was a great job for me.

Take time to get to know the kids, they'll respond better to you if they know you care about them. Always be positive, and make sure you understand the concepts they're learning in school (K-12).

Instructor
May 2018 - August 2019 • Eden Prairie, MN
What I liked
I liked working with a wide variety of students; I taught early elementary through high school students from a variety of backgrounds.
What I wish was different
I wish that the curriculum was a little bit more flexible. Sometimes I would encounter students that were clearly disengaged from the standard curriculum due to their preference of alternative teaching styles or exceptional abilities in math.
Advice
I would recommend working at Mathnasium to anyone who enjoys teaching and wants to get some experience working with kids- It was a rewarding experience for me and I intend on working there each time I come home from college.

Lead Instructor
September 2017 • Holly Springs, NC
What I liked
Taking on more responsibilities around the center. I enjoyed proposing new ideas and conducting performance evaluations.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have had more time to complete more of my responsibilities. Once classes began for the year, I became very limited in my time to continue the things I did over the summer.
Advice
Be patient with the training. It may seem in depth, and you may feel like it takes a long time, but the impact you will have on student's lives will be worth it.
