Awful pay, poor materials, nice people - Sylvan Tutor Sylvan Learning Centers Employee Review

Pros

Caring teachers and nice kids who want to do better in school. Flexible hours.

Cons

Awful pay--around $12 an hour to tutor up to three children. Materials are dated. Too much record keeping during tutor time. Three children at the table are too many. It does not allow for the kind of quality tutoring Sylvan is charging parents for (but not paying the teachers for). They are really ripping off parents with that set-up.

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.
