Pros

Connecting with students, helping them understand math, improving families' home lives because of reduced math-related stress

Cons

Low pay, unpredictable hours, being required to devote time outside of work hours to the company. You are assigned an abundance of tasks, which are not able to be completed within your scheduled hours. If you stay a few minutes later to finish your task, your pay is cut so that "we aren't over payroll."

Pros

Convenient job for students. Interesting place to observe childhood learning process. Low effort during non peak hours. Good if you like kids.

Cons

Dead end job with dead end pay and (probably less than 20 an hour) "codirectors" being childish. One of the co-directors never cleaned up, never changed to uniform when the owner wasnt there, and plays games at the center. I asked. And he said no to cleaning and to changing. If the female codirector saw me sitting down looking around the room waiting for kids who needed help, she'd tell me to clean the tables sometimes with a side of hostility. Of course, she wouldn't tell the other co director to clean. Never ever have I seen her ask him to. Ive asked one codirector to get to another kid's question from across the room because they're closer and I'm helping a kid here, and you could see it in their face they hated that I simply asked them to. I also just didnt agree with the methodology of teaching kids, and I guess it bothered me. It seemed very hit or miss depending on the kid. There was WAY too much hand-holding. Success was attributed to the center sometimes when it very clearly wasn't. With 12 an hour and no self respect, it's better you start your own tutoring business.

Pros

They had a good system for teaching the lowest level maths (everything up to high school.) I learned a lot about how to communicate some of the fundamental ideas of mathematics. For high school mathematics, it was mostly taught from the text book of the student. The group format (multiple students per tutor) works very well.

Cons

Low hourly wage compared to most tutoring programs. At the location(s) I worked, there was too much focus on route production of work. This is not always bad, but many of the younger students had a very hard time working 45 minutes straight, with full attention. At times I felt like I was instilling a dislike of mathematics to the younger students by having to push them to produce more work instead of letting them enjoy the activity of learning math.
