Summary
I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for 25 years. I have good skills in running a classroom and dealing with students and working with teachers every day. You have to be ready to do your job and some one else’s in a moments notice if there is not a substitute found. You have to keep your room tidy and a record of grades.
