Pros
The program does help students to significantly increase their scores.
Cons
I never saw this as a part time teacher but As the assistant director my boss and the owner treated me horribly (parent and child) to the point where I nearly quit on the spot every day for 2 weeks. I wasn’t given the training I was promised and was chastised for not knowing everything about the company within the first several months. My boss made mistakes and blamed them on me. They said terrible things about teachers and students behind their backs. they kept asking me to schedule teachers outside of their availability regularly because of over enrollment. They also paid me incorrectly and insist that what they did was in line with wage and hour laws. There have been about 6 AD’s at this franchise in the past 2 or 3 years according to my boss. They started telling me about previous people who they fired on my first day. This was not a healthy work environment
Advice to Management
Hold your franchises to a high ethical standard. Employees should be treated with respect if you want to lower your turn over rates

"Unfulfilling"

I worked at Huntington Learning Centers part-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
flexible schedule (at times)
"easy" work (but unfulfilling/boring)Cons
outdated material
no room for growth
outdated methodsAdvice to Management
I really think the teaching methods should be updated. I worked in two different centers with vastly different approaches, but neither one went outside the box enough to allow tutors (skilled, creative teachers) to actually teach beyond rote memorization. We should be going beyond looking at test scores and actually helping kids want to learn and succeed. The curriculum, if you want to call it that, is from the 90's. Update some of us so it is interesting to these kids who have the internet at home and can find more interesting articles in a Google search.
Teachers should have more of an opportunity to interact with each other positively to promote engagement. Socializing shouldn't be so stifled.Huntington Learning Centers 2018-10-11 09:57 PDT![Huntington Learning Centers Logo]()
"HLC has issues to resolve"

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Huntington Learning Centers part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Working with students individually to help them be better students. It was nice to have interaction with the students. Also, some of the office staff were pleasant and helpful.
Cons
1. Training needs to be more thorough
2. Main area for tutoring needs to be reorganized. Carrels are jammed together too tightly and do not offer good environment for learning. The large room can be very noisy.
3. Carpet throughout the center needs to be replaced. It is badly worn and stained.
4. Pay is low for test prep tutors. Tutors have bachelor's and master's degrees.
5. ACT Test Prep book is outdated and needs to be more effective as a learning tool.
6. Center needs to move to automatic deposit for employee paychecks.
7. Tutors may be asked to work 6 hours straight with no break.
8. There is a lot of emphasis on how many students/parents sign up with HLC, regardless of whether there are enough tutors or enough physical space to actually do the tutoring.Advice to Management
Get truly effective materials. Pay tutors more. Put more money into maintenance of the building (carpet, A/C, etc.). See other problems above that need to be resolved.

"Great part-time tutoring job"

RecommendsI have been working at Huntington Learning Centers part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Staff is generally friendly and accommodating. Scheduling is flexible and ensures consistency with the same students. Curriculum is straight-forward and easy to use and related paperwork for each student is easy to learn and update. Location is in a lovely neighborhood with grocery store, restaurants, and a park nearby.
Cons
I didn't appreciate being told that I wasn't allowed to tell the students that I was new. It wasn't something I was going to advertise, but I believe that if a student asked honestly, then I would answer honestly. I also live about 30 mins from the location, so I didn't like when students would cancel their session on my way to work because I'd have to turn around and go home.

Pros
There are no Pros to working for this company and their berating management.
Cons
Do not believe the schedule is what they say. Be prepared to be pressured to work on your days off all the time. More meetings to get more money. If you do not go in, you will be targeted.
