Pros

Under the HDT program at an under-performing high school, I was given plenty of opportunity to work with struggling high school students. The lesson materials were all provided and there were plenty of supplemental worksheets and lessons at my disposal.

Cons

Tutoring groups were in large, loud spaces with lots of distractions. Students were generally unmotivated, and management offered few solutions to improve problems.
