Pros

Mathnasium was one of the most rewarding positions I've had. I loved working with the students and witnessing their improvement. Prior to teaching at Mathnasium, I worked in an office and-- although the math is simple-- it's great to have a position in which you can actually use your brain and math skills. Fellow employees, the center director, and the owner were all wonderful. There were only one or two issues with parents, but that's expected in any work environment.

Cons

The pay was really low; I wouldn't have been able to get by on my Mathnasium wage alone. The hours revolve around school hours, so the business is only open a few hours each day, which doesn't provide a sufficient opportunity to work longer to compensate for the low wage.

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.
