Does not pay well! - Math Tutor Sylvan Learning Centers Employee Review

Pros

If you have a main job and are looking for some extra pay on the side, this might be a good option for you.

Cons

Many tutoring sessions will take place at private residences, which requires you to drive there. You are not compensated for gas. When you get to a student's house, they may have forgotten about tutoring, in which case you will not get paid at all for that session. The hours are extremely limited which makes the cost of driving impact the job much more than normal, and the pay is abysmal considering the requirements to be employed there. Finally, the method they use to teach students does not actually target the areas that the students need help in, so it's not particularly effective.

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.
