Pros

The people are really friendly, smart, and hard-working. There's lots of opportunities to prove yourself and grow. The work you do makes an impact in the world of first graders. The work you do is recognized and celebrated.

Cons

Not a place for someone wanting to coast by. Don't expect to work 9 AM to 5 PM.

Pros

・The students where the best part; they where kind, sweet, and smart. ・Seeing real growth happen in real time; students making visible progress was always exciting. ・The work is meaningful when you build connections with the kids.

Cons

・The pace is intense and you are penalized if you spend more than one minute talking to a student, even when said students are making good progress even with longer check ins. ・It was all about tests and monitoring; obviously that's important, but no kid is going to do well when they aren't connected with whomever is giving them an assessment. ・Very little actual coaching or follow-up with managers; they just send you the list of everything you're doing wrong and tell you little about how to improve. ・Management is unfair to tutors; despite ALL of my students doing amazingly and improving SO SO SO much, they were still only about how I was taking too long in the intro and not saying their script verbatim. ・If you genuinely care about students, this isn't the place.
