There’s a Swing story for everyone

Haining Wei

Haining Wei immigrated to the United States from China. When she moved, she made the difficult decision to pause her career as a teacher to stay home with her children. After her children left the home, Swing Education gave Haining an opportunity to learn the American education system by subbing at different schools. She’s incredibly happy to get to make a difference again.

Tina Jones

Tina Jones is on the hunt for a full-time teaching position. But, she isn’t sure exactly where she’d like to work. She uses Swing to earn money while she builds relationships with schools in her community.

Danny Jones

Danny Jones has a lot on his plate. He’s a part-time DJ and absolutely loves volunteering locally. He occasionally accepts assignments on the Swing platform to supplement his income and give back to his community.
