Pros

High pay for flexible part-time hours. Opportunity to make a difference for kids.

Cons

Group tutoring set-up seems profit-oriented and not to the kids' advantage. Mix of age levels means the kids are not getting the tutoring time the government is paying for and the tutor has to spend much time and extra unpaid hours to orchestrate even moderately successful sessions. Coordinators seem over stressed, under paid, and do not seem to have the resources to help the tutors. The company requires tutors to stick to a curriculum that is unsuitable for the situations put in place by the company (designed for large same-age class settings). Must travel to unpaid meetings at least once a month. Owed reimbursements for time spent on progress reports, fingerprinting ids etc are hard to get from management.

Pros

Small classes, they give you the materials to be used in class. Leave early, free Fridays.

Cons

Terrible management, they have not clue about a good leadership. They bombard you with emails of all sorts. If there is any complaint from a student, you will be fired since they go the side of administrators for whom you are not a teacher but a contractor. This is a temporary job to pay bills till you get a real, decent job.

Pros

Small class size, they pay on time. Do not work on Friday.

Cons

I do not recommend working for this company. Firstly, they have a history of not treating their employees with respect. When conflicts arise, the client is treated with greater preference than the employee, often to a very detrimental degree. Additionally, communication is either excessive or non-existent, frequently given with a tone of urgency that keeps teachers from feeling confident in their roles. The company in itself is not on the same page with each other, from one level to the next, so it often leaves the employee confused as to what directive to listen to. The culture is fear-filled and guilt-driven. *It's not an ideal place to flourish.* Finally, renewed work is not guaranteed, and offers are only given within weeks of the school year start.
