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. :)

- ... from 10 to 23 students with a variety ofvarious English levels
- ... classroom activities to increase bothstudents' motivation as well as ... (the word "both" seems stand alone. it is better to omit it.)
- 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 ...
- Responded to visitorvisitors' questions about...
- Worked in village farm gardens and carrycarried out weekly cheese-making demonstrations. (this should be in a past form right?)

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.

- Had a responsibility to stockResponsible for stocking office supplies and organizingorganize materials to be sent to field sites.

Cheers :)
