Pros

Schedule given in advance, great students, adjustable scheduling based on your needs.

Cons

No flexibility, management was rude, Sylvan often claims they differentiate instruction for their students but all it means is the questions on the iPads are re-worded with new numbers. I saw a student struggling once and got up to get manipulatives and was almost written up because I should have thought of that before the session started. I’d leave every day feeling defeated by their practices and I welcomed by management. I once had a table full of students who were new to Sylvan so I was juggling their competencies and tests, then got in trouble because one was sitting at his table off task while I was working with another one who was previously off task trying to work on their beginning testing which meant no other lessons were available to either child, then management wouldn’t let me explain what was happening; I was always in the wrong. Lack of training.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
