Good experience
Mar 26, 2023 - Teaching Assistant in Woodinville, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Boss is flexible and open, mostly hires high school students so great job if you're looking for that. Fairly easy job, mostly consists of grading, filing, and teaching kids basic English and math. Good job for tutoring. Great for part-time because the Kumon only runs for 3 days a week and a couple hours a day, so it doesn't interfere with a lot of things.
Cons
Very minimal pay, little negotiating due to age. Sometimes kids cry and also don't do their homework which can be frustrating. Very rigid system, so not great if you're not into rote memorization etc. No benefits but also again most employees are under 18 so not a lot of need. No opportunity for advancement really unless you want to start your own Kumon (there are also only really 2 positions: grader/assistant and the person that owns the Kumon)
