C2 Education Reviews

Cons

Slow seasons means less hours, but they work hard to accommodate schedules. Also, experience will vary depending on center

Cons

Hours are usually late, so more for single people
Pay could definitely be better
Tech is a bit slow, and the furniture is a tad uncomfortable.

Cons

There is no way to guarantee consistent hours unless you're very good and/or teach multiple difficult or specific subjects, particularly AP bio, chem, physics, calculus, and stats. Low base pay and maximum hourly pay compared to private tutoring ($16-28/hour).

Cons

There aren't any, really. Seriously, just keep doing what you're doing.

Cons

Continuous turnover, uncomfortable environment. Hours are not conducive for a healthy lifestyle or work life balance.

Cons

The company's 3-1 teaching structure is terrible. You have up to 3 students at a time each studying a different subject. Constant jumping back and forth between students, and the schedule changes so much you never really know what 3 students you are going to have until everyone shows up.

Cons

The tutoring sessions are supposed to be one-on-one but you will have three students at a time. You are expected to give them a one-on-one experience, which can be stressful. You have to get used to splitting your time among your students.

Cons

Mostly evening and weekend hours

Cons

Company nickel and dimes employees wherever possible. 5 minutes of preparation time is allowed per 3 students for a 2 hour personalized lesson with each student, each getting a unique lesson plan, yet teaching 3 students at a time. If you want additional time you must get special permission and it is paid at minimum wage rather than your teaching pay rate. Meetings are also paid at minimum wage. Constructive feedback for the company is brushed aside as well. The materials we use have many typos and incorrect questions yet we are told not to tell the students that the questions are wrong which can be a tricky position to be in.

Cons

-Students cancel last minute with very little notice given. I was once told not to come to work as I was driving to the office. I received no compensation

-Management and parents play favorites with tutors. They will ensure that whenever that their favorite tutors get lots of hours, but will leave scraps to other tutors. One of my 2 week pay periods ended up having only have 4 hours of work.

-The center prioritizes numbers at the expense of teachers. They will hire more tutors than they can give hours to, which leaves certain tutors pinched for hours.

-Managers are very superficial and only enforce dress code based on how much they like certain tutors. If management likes you enough you can come into work wearing a hoodie and yoga pants despite the dress code being "business casual"
.
-Teachers are treated as a commodity. At any time, a manager can ask you to commute 1-2 hours one way to teach at another center for as little as 4 hours and will only compensate for gas 1 way.

-Managers are also out of touch with the needs and struggles of teachers. They will claim that a 2 hour travel time isn't much when most teachers only work part time.

-If you don't fit into their image of what a perfect teacher looks like, forget about decent treatment. If you happen to have any cosmetic issues, management will passive-aggressively single you out.

-Very little chance for growth as a teacher. Pay raises happen very slowly and infrequently.
