“The overall community was great from the staff, other teaching fellows and the kids. It was a great experience that I would love to do again. ”

“Breakthrough gives you real hands on experience for teaching in the classroom. You teach classes as well as spend recesses with the kids, run a club, and act as an advisor to several students. You get to make super close bonds with not only the students but the other teaching fellows. Breakthrough offers a tremendous amount of support through pro-staff as well as instructional coaches who are real life teachers who help you lesson plan and with classroom management.”
