Pros

So rewarding to see children grow in confidence...just seeing their faces light up when their report cards reflect their improvement...nothing like it!

Cons

Expensive...Selling tuition at $55/ hr. Franchisees can't always be successful long term...advertising local vs national cost outlays...who benefits? No transportation to and from sessions after school. Most often no daytime programs offered to support children who are homeschooled. No food or beverages even if child attends longer than 2 hours. Many families can't qualify for financing.

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.
