Hi Danielle,

It is nice to see a thread that is quite different from others. I would like to try my best to help you with clarity, spelling/grammar, and proofreading just like you said earlier. You can see them in the detailed descriptions below. I hope it would be helpful. :)

- Developed and implemented activities for after-school English Club activities to engage students in learning some activities outside the classroom.
- Worked with a Chilean teachers (if it is plural, the usage of article "a" is unnecessary) network to develop ...

However, I have no idea why in the last work history (September 2016 - April 2016) you omitted the time signal or you didn't use past tense anymore. If it should be in the past form, perhaps these modifications would be helpful.
