Student Jobs

We would work with you to determine the schedule. The two swim lessons would be back-to-back, and the tennis lessons would be on a different day and also be back-to-back. Each swim lessons would be 30 minutes, and the tennis lessons between 30 minutes and an hour. The times can change from week to week if necessary.

We are a family of two dads (UW professors) and two children, an 11-year-old and 6-year-old. We are looking to set up weekly swim lessons and tennis lessons for both kids. (We are happy to hire one person for both positions, or to make separate hires for each role.) In addition, we have friends who are also looking for swim lessons for three of their children, so there's a chance you could be hired by both of our families.

The swim lessons would either be at Bakke on the weekend or at our neighborhood pool, Shorewood Pool. The tennis lessons would be wherever we can reserve a court. Our younger child is very much a beginner swimmer, and our older child is more experienced but would benefit from more instruction. Both children are beginner tennis players who have had some individual instruction and have taken lessons at the Nielsen in recent months.

Experience in swimming or tennis (or both, if you're applying to do both), and some experience working with children.

To apply, please send an email to dbrown1230@gmail.com in which you tell us a bit about yourself, explain why you’re interested in the position, and set out your qualifications. If you have one, please also attach a copy of your resume, which is a helpful way for us to learn more about you.

Thank you for your interest in the position!
