Pros: The best part is seeing kids light up when they grasp a new concept in science, technology, engineering, or math, especially using LEGO® bricks. The curriculum is creative and fun, making each session engaging for both the children and myself. Management is generally supportive and understands the need for flexibility, which is crucial when you're working with children's schedules and educational demands.
Cons: While flexibility is a strong point, the workload can sometimes feel uneven, especially during peak enrollment periods or when coordinating multiple on-site events. Communication on administrative updates could be more streamlined. Some instructors might find the pay, while decent for part-time, doesn't fully reflect the specialized skills and energy required for engaging young learners in complex STEM topics.
Advice to Management: Consider implementing a more consistent communication channel for administrative changes and training updates. Also, exploring tiered pay structures based on experience and additional responsibilities could further incentivize instructors.
