Check out this readers’ review of EF…

I work for EF kids and love it!!! It is so laid back. The students you are working with have already been taught this lesson by their classroom teacher so you are reinforcing the skills already taught. I also teach elementary students so this job is so easy and I really enjoy it. No background or props required, easy cancellation policy and no demo interview!
