As Lead Instructor, I oversaw daily program operations, providing both direct instruction to children and leadership to junior staff. In addition to teaching classes, I coordinated staff schedules, managed floor coverage, and ensured smooth transitions between groups, adapting quickly to meet changing needs. I served as a point of contact for parents, maintaining clear and professional communication about student progress, safety, and program updates, which built trust and strong community relationships.
A key part of my role was mentoring and training junior coaches, offering feedback, guidance, and hands-on support to help them develop teaching and leadership skills. I also played a central role in designing lesson structures, balancing safety with engagement, and creating a positive learning environment for children of all ages and abilities. Through this combination of teaching, communication, and organizational management, I strengthened my ability to lead a team, resolve conflicts, and coordinate complex schedules while keeping student development at the center of the program.
