Pros
- Continually developing system for students to create higher success rates - 3-to-1 student ratio provides ability to keep lessons personal (not all sessions will have the same type or grade level student) - Teaching atmosphere allows for flexibility in delivery methods; recommended system is there but enough room to allow for more effective teaching - Part-time hours are flexible enough to work around employees' personal lives - Some center directors are incredibly great to work with and personally, my center director is one of the most trusted people in my life - Focus on rapport + teaching allows a great relationship to build with students and in my opinion, build a future network years down the road (students constantly come back to express gratitude and provide updates on college life) - College application process is very hands-on and allows teachers to pass on their own knowledge and skills to younger generations. I feel good sending kids off to top 50 colleges knowing I was a huge asset to them - Continually (albeit slowly) expanding educational system for teaching more material with a structured base -Potentially THE educational model for the future if evolved correctly and applied well
Cons
- Needs a higher focus at the bottom line which is the teacher. Better follow-up with newly trained employees, higher focus on defining individual skills to cultivate the best teachers that grow - Needs better feedback system from the bottom to top, not top to bottom - More advancement opportunities, career tracks, managed expectations - Pay raises are almost taboo with no structured basis for evaluation - Could make changes to some managing positions to create a better flow and streamline the operational process - Needs structure in certain facets of operations
