“I love teaching with Yokid. First, I felt that the trainings Yokid provided prepared me to start teaching children immediately. The tools Yokid provided as well as the open communication with Yokid admin was extremely helpful. Secondly, I love the groups of children we reach out to. From teaching with Yokid I have watched my students go from shy and angry to expressive and able to remain calm.” ~ YoKid Teacher
