Pros

-Relatively good hourly wage (compared to state minimum) -Center director and other teachers were very supportive

Cons

-Sylvan expects teachers to do too much during their 1 hour with kids -3:1 student-teacher ratio is only manageable if all three students are well-behaved and don't require a lot of help (very rare)

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
