- 2.0Aug 7, 2023Academic TutorFormer Employee, more than 1 yearGrand Rapids, MI
Pros
Super time working with kids, iPad program and manipulatives supported learning, evening hours.
Cons
Frequent leadership changes were a barometer of management’s values. Emphasis on cost effectiveness meant too many kids at a table. No managers on site after 6 pm or Saturdays to support tutors with discipline, parent questions, etc. Quality of tutor was inconsistent. Manipulatives were grimy and not kept well organized.
