Great experience at one location, absolutely horrible at another - Teacher Tutu School Employee Review

Tutu school was such a welcoming environment to work in. The direct management and upper management were all so involved and supportive towards staff. All staff were also very collaborative in teaching style and tips. All while spreading the joy of music and movement for young dancers.

I did not have any negative experience.

Kind studio owner, understanding parents for the most part, super cute environment, good introduction to teaching or working with young kids and good pay

There's not a way to get a lot of hours here, so even with the better hourly rate than other jobs, it's only good for supplemental pay. I've been with this company for almost a year, and I loved it at first! However, you still need to stick to the curriculum from franchise which gets kind of repetitive for both teachers and students. You are also expected to work retail, sign students up, stay talking with parents, open and close, on top of teaching by yourself which gets really overwhelming. Enrollment also goes on all year round and it's hard to build on what they already learned with constant enrollment. There's not much variety we can do with the curriculum we are required to stick to. Birthday parties are also hard as it's an itinerary that is supposed to work for all ages. A party for a two year olds will be different for a party for 5 year olds. There also isn't time in the parties for families to enjoy food they brought and I've gotten complaints on a past birthday party that the older guests just sit and watch. Hard to please everyone here.
