C2 Education reviews

Ask any tutor at C2 Education what their least favorite part of their job is, and the large majority of them will have the same answer: the 3 to 1 ratio. Whenever possible, the schedule will force you to tutor 3 students at the same time, each at different grade levels and with various needs. This means that on average, parents are paying for 1 hour of tutoring when they are actually getting 20 minutes. It doesn't take much to see how unfair this is, even when classes are set up properly by directors/assistant directors. Your hours are never guaranteed, because they are all in the hands of parents. Although our assistant director emailed us our schedules for the week, 95% of the time I came in, it was changed. If enough of your students cancel, the ones left over will be shifted to another tutor to keep the ratios high, taking you off the schedule completely. Sometimes, however, you could have students added on to your schedule last minute. From other reviews I've read on here, some center directors can make your experience here a living hell. So, research ahead of time which ones don't fit this bill, and work in one of those centers. Again, this was thankfully not the case for me. The new SAT curriculum is riddled with errors (especially in the answer keys), which many students constantly point out. Because C2 tutors are the ones who wrote all of the questions found in it, this easily leads to confusion as to what's being asked, or even how to solve the problem at all! Corporate structure follows a quantity over quality mentality, which is evident from the fact that while new centers are being opened all the time, the quality that may be lacking in existing centers is more so ignored. Considering the new CEO used to work at the corporate side of Starbucks, it's clear why this approach is being made, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous.

Stress from management and no communication to the tutors Also really really really hard to move up at all
