Experiences from other LA’s at my school

“I’ve been very fortunate to work at Juan Sebastian Elcano for almost three academic years, being surrounded not only by amazing students, but also some awesome teachers! It’s rewarding seeing the kids grow up and learn more each year, as well having a positive influence on their lives.” -Andrea, 3rd year as an LA

“I was surprised to be placed in a primary school as I didn’t feel equipped to handle students of this age. I was impressed to see their ability to learn despite not having a very high level of English. The students are responsive and bright, and seeing them learn has to be the best part of the job. It’s helped me discover new methods of learning and has challenged me to adopt new teaching strategies to be able to effectively meet the needs of different students. I hope to return next year!” -Danielle, 1st year as an LA
