Pros

1.) You have a lot of free time since hours are low. Good if you are a student or have other demands in your life. 2.) Allows you to refresh on math topics while teaching children making you stronger in math.

Cons

1.) Cannot make a living from working here. I work less than 8 hours a week in total. 2). Owner can be very mean, cheap, and stingy. Owner wanted me to be a faster tutor and tutor as many kids as possible while I was working. As a result, no time to relax. 3.) Owner cuts your hours and tells you to leave as soon as the number of kids decrease before closing. Owner only keeps the lowest amount of instructors on the floor as possible to maximize profits for themselves. 4.) Owner constantly pressures you to work faster and harder even though the pay is excruciatingly low. Too much criticism.

Pros

Flexible hours that I could choose, nice working space. My boss was nice and very reasonable. Pay was decent after I completed some certifications. When the teaching was effective it was pretty rewarding and it can be fun to talk to the kids.

Cons

It was honestly a very tiring job. The kids can get really rowdy and difficult to manage, especially if you have to teach three at the same time. Management required us to use tablets and a finicky platform for worksheets that was not helpful and forced me to further split my attention.
