Pros

The kids you teach are great most of the time. Even though not all of them want to be there, if you connect with them you can see a difference in their attitude and can begin to truly help them better themselves. The money is good for what you do.

Cons

They really hound you to use the proper vocabulary they use. It's not a "prize" cabinet, it is a "reward" cabinet. The hours are okay, but don't expect to ever get more than 30 hours. Also, because the material comes from the original Mathnasium, management doesn't seem too keen on the idea of improvements. They tend to just stick with whatever Larry (founder) suggests.

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.
