I loved the structure of the program and the opportunity to teach swim lessons at a brand new facility
What I wish was different
I wish we were paid every 2 week instead of monthly and I also wish it was closer to home. I was commuting a half an hour there and back 4 days per week for this job.
Advice
I loved working for this employer, great college job. Definitely apply if you are a student looking for a summer job.

June - August 2019 • San Luis Obispo, CA
What I liked
I had a lot of autonomy when it came to designing my lessons, structuring my classes, and creating the kind of learning environment I wanted. I had a great support system through other teachers and the directors of the program.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to take the kids on field trips and nearby hikes. I also would have liked to collaborate more with other teachers.
Advice
Teaching in a summer program is a great way to prepare yourself to have your own classroom in the future, but you should come prepared to set aside time for yourself every day in order to avoid burnout.
