Pros
The kids are great. The facility directors/owners try to achieve a family type atmospher with their staff. Teachers are encouraged to use their own style of teaching.
Cons
Hired as "Independant Contractor" but the directors didn't file nessasary paperwork with EDD for employees with Independant Contractor status. This is illegal. Our pay was never on time and there was no statement of hours worked or pay rate.
Communication with management was difficult and concerns brought to management were not addressed.
There was no training of any kind. Teachers/Tutors were expected to do the homework for the kids; not to really teach them.
Everything teachers did with their students was to be documented in the student's notebook. So teachers spend 2/3rds of the class time, writing in the each student's notebook.
Your "class room" was a table with 8-10 chairs in a room with 6-8 other tables. The noise made it very difficult to effectively teach or learn. "Class rooms" changed location without notice, often.
There was no place that was quiet and no place for the kids to be outside.
