Pros

I’m sharing this review mainly as feedback for management. I genuinely enjoyed working with most instructors and students-- it's why I chose to work there, even though I could have taken higher-paying jobs. It was a rewarding job and students and families I worked with were consistently positive and appreciative of my support. Unfortunately, management got in the way of fully enjoying and doing my job, making the environment mentally taxing for me.

Cons

I’ve never had a poor relationship with any other employer, but the manager was a very different story. Despite top qualifications and performance scores, I faced extra scrutiny compared to other employees, was asked personal questions even after saying they were private, and received vague or inconsistent feedback (for example, being told a student cried without knowing what actually happened). I tried hard to maintain patience and professionalism, yet flexibility was offered to others and not to me, and I was asked to resign rather than given direct feedback or support. Oh, and my interview for a minimum-wage position lasted over an hour — while others reportedly had much shorter ones. Experiences may vary depending on management, so prospective employees should be aware.

Pros

Flexible hours that I could choose, nice working space. My boss was nice and very reasonable. Pay was decent after I completed some certifications. When the teaching was effective it was pretty rewarding and it can be fun to talk to the kids.

Cons

It was honestly a very tiring job. The kids can get really rowdy and difficult to manage, especially if you have to teach three at the same time. Management required us to use tablets and a finicky platform for worksheets that was not helpful and forced me to further split my attention.
