Pros

Flexible schedule, sweet kids, decent space

Cons

The tutoring is relatively easy because all the lessons are created digitally through the iPad, but not all kids can learn this way. It's also difficult to tutor 4-5 kids at once when some (understandably) need additional help. Kids who come in with minimal reading skills can't learn from an iPad, and most need 1 on 1 tutoring anyway.

Pros

No lesson planning, relatively easy and straightforward work, would be a nice low-stakes part-time gig

Cons

Some of the products need to be updated for modern times (State Test Prep), very low ceiling for growth (at least at my center), very little support, the expectation to multi-task is simply ridiculous, if you are looking for more serious employment in terms of benefits/salary/etc do not work here as the only ones who make a salary are the Franchisees
