Pros

Flexible hours Great pay per hour

Cons

I have had situations where I began a program with a co-teacher, and they leave the company, and I am not informed at all. I just show up expecting to be supported and am left to pick up the pieces myself. I have also had situations where I had to substitute for another location and was given incorrect information about the available materials, forcing me to scramble at the last minute to make a pivot. Overall, this company does not offer enough hours (even if you work in their hr), is awful at communicating, does not hire enough support staff, and is just unnecessarily stressful. I would not recommend working here unless you plan to have a career in education.

Pros

A good part time job, base rate for all afterschool instructors is $30 across the bay area

Cons

They are very messy and unprofessional, often leaving communication last minute. It's clear none of the Kodely staff have never directly interact with kids themselves so they develop and create policy that make them look good in front of parents and schools, taking credit for when instructors interact well with students and placing blame on individual instructors when things go awry. That said, the syllabus and teaching style is developed by Kodely and instructors are simply told to follow it.
