Assistant Testimonials

"Each student has his own personality, and it is important to create a backbone of expectations that are fair for all students. Children all have very vibrant personalities and are looking for a special role model and someone to care. If they know you are there and care, they will work their hardest to impress you." "I learned how drastically different each student learns and reacts to different situations. It was interesting to see such variances. I also came to understand the workings of a class from a teacher's viewpoint. I understand the difficulties and frustrations involved with this position that I would have previously not considered." "I learned that not all children have the same opinions and views. Where a child comes from affects how they view the world. I also learned that learning is a big deal for a child. They get excited when they realize they learned something." Patience is needed, kindness is rewarded, teaching is fun. "They never cease to surprise me. The students really seem to enjoy the Bright Lights program. This experience has helped me feel more confident in my future teaching career."
