Sylvan Learning Centers

Is this your company?

I was a part-time teacher for 2 1/2 years. Training involved online courses (okay program) and some observation. - Teacher Sylvan Learning Centers Employee Review

Pros

Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Owner/Director was great, very helpful. She understood many teachers in her center were full-time teachers in public/private schools or had other jobs, so she would be very flexible when making the schedule. It was a great work environment; unfortunately, the Center's rent skyrocketed so they had to close it down.

Cons

Low hourly rate ($12 an hour) when you could easily charge $25 plus an hour if you were to tutor privately. Also, when student numbers are low, that means your hours got cut.

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.
