Athena-Coding

What is the best part of working at the company?
Athena is fully supportive, attentive and available. I received supplies and lesson plans that were appropriate to the content and age levels of the students. My contact person is amazing. Chloe is responsive and available to support the program. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
With all honesty, working for Athena Coding is not stressful at all. It is important to be prepared prior to teaching each lesson. It also helps to anticipate questions and needs that the students might have. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Athena Coding provides a welcoming and supportive work environment. I have taught in several schools and one community center during my tenure with Athena. I feel respected and treated as a professional by the team at Athena Coding. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I review the provided plans in advance and make modifications to those plans to accommodate the needs of specific students if needed. I make sure to arrive at the location early to prepare my classroom and assure that the students are able to engage in learning that is fun and organized. At the close of the lesson, I ask helpers to assist in collecting material. This helps support respect for class supplies and encourages students to be leaders. I support the rules and expectations of each location and always maintain a safe and equitable learning environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was a fun experience! We had plenty of engaging activities for the kids, and the curriculum was clear and easy to follow. Whenever we needed to adjust an activity based on its level of difficulty, we communicated with Athena and always felt supported in those decisions. Additionally, if a student was picked up late, Athena helped us contact parents, ensuring that expectations remained clear among parents, staff, and students.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At the beginning it felt a little overwhelming to know how to get the curriculum going, but it does help to have another instructor in the team.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The lines of communication were always open, even when the supervisors were in another state. We had some hiccups along the way but Chloe (our point of contact) was always available to help.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We arrived at the college and start receiving students, have some easy activity laid out until everybody arrived. Once everybody is in, we started with the first lesson, it could be  building a bridge out of wood-sticks, creating a house with legos, etc. Once the first lesson was done, we would wrap it up for lunch and move the kids to the cafeteria area. The lunch was always amazing! And from there we would go back to the classroom and have the second part day started which could be art or another building lesson.

They really just throw you out to the wolves here and give you nothing in return. Sure, during and after the interview they'll act all nice and respond quickly, but the second they lock you into an assignment you'll never hear from anyone ever again. My texts to management often went ignored, there was zero training or preparation before getting into a classroom, and I kept having to waste time trying to coordinate equipment transfers...when they did remember that they have equipment they should probably get back. The curriculum is sad and nonexistent for some classes (some more than others to be fair), so if you get assigned to a subject you don't know much about, you better prepare beforehand. If they want you to substitute or pick up a new assignment, it'll be extremely last minute, sometimes even day of, regardless of if they sent out shift surveys a month or more in advance. Not sure how they expect anyone to accept a 10 week commitment last minute in this economy with the pitiful hours, people are obviously going to try to find something else when they never hear back from you. The disrespect and disorganization is insane and baffling. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The management was supportive and provided all of the material and curriculum needed for me to work with the students. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One time the venue had to relocate the class to a location that did not have WiFi and that made my job difficult.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I have had positive interactions with all of the employees of the company.  They want to make sure that I have all of the materials needed to be successful doing my job. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would set up my materials before class and make sure that all students are accounted for in class. I then greet the students and check in with them. Then explain what is happening that day and demonstrate as needed. They will work on their projects and help with clean up. I will say goodbye to them as the parents pick them up.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I work with all have a passion to teach and influence the younger generation. I really enjoyed working with them and was treated very well by the company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
To make sure you are always alert in order to prevent kids from getting injured. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You get out of the company what you put into it. I was able to collaborate with other teachers and share my ideas when leading a classroom. The overall environment and culture is collaborative and supportive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day includes stepping in for the teacher's breaks, providing materials to classrooms when needed, and supervise kids during recess.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Athena is definitely organized compared to other after-school teaching programs. Although it’s purely independent work, I felt there was still great support / fast responses from my supervisors which allowed me to never feel left in dark or feel confused about what I was supposed to be doing. It was a great first introduction to teaching for me and I highly recommend it especially to those looking to gain classroom experience! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Maybe running out of materials needed for class. Management was great about those situations and ordered them asap. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s completely independent! Very nice, friendly management that you never truly meet, but speak with on the phone often.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at the company is that they provide guidance to conduct a successful class for any subject and support you along the way. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working at the company is working with difficult kids, but it gets easier with patience, experience, and finding your WHY to make a difference in their lives. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture is incredibly caring and supportive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me is checking in at the front desk, grabbing my class sign-in sheet and having fun seeing these kids learn something new!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working for Athena coding is that you get to teach a multitude of different subjects within STEM and they all benefit the next generation which is awesome!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes the travel but other than that it's fine.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is awesome and there is clear communication between employee and employer and it is very efficient.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Honestly I just get informed which location I go to teach and I get the address I go and I teach and I do it all over again it's fun.

Good Opportunity 
Good Pay 
A Normal Day Consists of 2 hours each day you are assigned and there’s times where it’s only an hour depending 
I’ve learned many lessons in the DND and Chess and other coding classes. 
The hardest part is getting to know DND especially. 
Workplace culture is pretty good and a easy flow 
You don’t get some material you will be assigned a support coworker to attend the classes with you. 

I was hired to fill an immediate need for an instructor so I understand it was a scramble for everyone. However, the roosters given for the classes weren't up to date and very little info provided on relationship to schools. Owner was available for questions and supportive. Overall not a bad company, but did not seem very organized.
