Sylvan Learning Centers reviews

Very limited hours and almost exclusively in the evening, so only worthwhile if you're looking for something after you're regular job and don't mind evenings. Limited training and formulaic curriculum. A lot of kids don't seem like they want to be there, and there isn't much room to focus on what kids actually need help with in school, you just follow the pre-set curriculum.

Franchises vary dramatically. Owners would often overcommit their directors without regard for their actual contracted, salaried work hours, which were already very long. Directors expected to "wear many hats" as managers, teachers, curriculum designers, sales people, and, let's be real, liars to parents.
