Angelo Yu (2025 Kumon of Arcadia North Intern)

“At my PTL internship at Kumon of Arcadia North, I served as an Assistant Teacher. I was responsible for helping students improve their reading and math skills, as well as making individualized progress reports. This included grading, correcting, and filing their work accurately. I also had to alternate between educational and administrative tasks throughout each shift to make sure everything ran smoothly for both staff and students. As it was my first professional job, the internship taught me that mistakes are inevitable, but the feedback that comes with it is critical for growth. This first internship brought me a new experience, as well as skills and lessons, that I’ll surely bring into future opportunities. PTL helped me achieve my goals by making the process of finding and applying for an internship so much easier than I thought it would be, and it provided local, accessible internships. As a high school student, I wasn’t really sure how I would strengthen my experience with a job, as I couldn’t really find any opportunities for beneficial extracurriculars that weren’t incredibly hard to grab, but PTL provided me with the resources and support I needed."
