C2 Education reviews

But it's also bad that the schedule is flexible. I never know what my schedule is like until the day of, and still it is NOT final. The parents make the calls and we must heed their orders, even if they were against company policy. While policy states that students are required to schedule sessions at least 24 hours prior, I've been constantly thrust with new students who just called in to have a session that day, so planning for sessions beforehand—as ordered to do so during training—wasn't practical. In addition to the challenge of handling three students simultaneously, there are those last-minute, call-in student who wants to start learning before I even get a chance to prepare. Sigh... With regards to the students, the world isn't perfect. There are good (hard-working, not necessarily smart) and bad (lazy) students. The majority of bad students either expect lofty results without putting in the necessary work or do not complete assigned work. And when we throw stubborn parents in the mix, we got a massive headache. It's tough to extract results under the quixotic demands of parents who expect good results by throwing money at the problem, which is the direct result of poor parenting and neglect. Also, I find myself constantly working past my shift because the students need their work done (i.e., something is happening/due tomorrow) without compensation. Is MY time not valued?

- Centers do not keep up with the maintenance of key systems. - Way too big push for big sales. Families pretty much have to purchase large package hours in order to start tutoring. - The developed materials are not that great. They are full of grammatical errors, poorly worded questions, missing answer choices, and other errors. The developed material also does not compare well to the official SAT/ACT, including the new test! - There is very little, if any, push to make the Centers or C2 Education better. - C2 Education is growing way too quickly for its own good. - The 3:1 ratio is a great idea in theory, but very poorly executed. Classes regularly have 3 completely different topics, hurting the efficiency of the classes. - The paperwork for each student is excessive, usually adding another hour or two after a long day. - Tutors are not paid for any preparation or cleanup time. - There are few, if any, benefits for full-time employees. Very few vacation/sick days, health insurance (if you are lucky...) - Massive language barrier with the directors and corporate. Everyone above the tutors pretty much speak Korean first, then English. - Tutors are not encouraged to use their skill sets at all beyond just tutoring. - Inconsistency. Everything is inconsistent. What the directors tell parents and students will not be passed on to the tutors, the general plan for students can morph week-by-week without warning or explanation, the directors will not keep their promises (especially with hours and pay) unless the tutor keeps on them.
