Pros
The students were generally pleasant and motivated, which was one of the few uplifting parts of the job.
Cons
Honestly, my experience at this tuition centre was deeply frustrating, and I feel it’s important to share my perspective. In my opinion, the leadership here, particularly from Carean Oh, is incredibly toxic. There’s a general sense of manipulation, and I personally felt that Carean’s approach to management was more about control than actually fostering a positive, productive environment. She often came across as dismissive and inconsiderate, and I found her constant lateness for both meetings and her own classes extremely unprofessional. It was just a recurring issue, and in my view, it really sets the wrong tone for the entire workplace. As for teaching, I was disappointed by Carean’s own approach in the classroom. In my opinion, she lacks the necessary qualifications to be teaching English at the level expected in this centre. I often felt that the information being provided to students was, at best, misguided—and at worst, simply wrong. It was hard to watch students be given incorrect guidance, and I personally felt that her teaching style didn’t inspire much confidence. I would advise anyone considering this centre—whether for a job or as a student—to really think twice and weigh your options. There are certainly other places that prioritize professionalism and quality teaching.
