Learning Labs Tuition Reviews

However, its small business structure means unfair management, just downright unproffessional practices, poor pay. It offered me a lot of skills, but also absolutely used me, amongst other tutors. They make you for for 6 pounds an hour like an absolute dog, and 9 if you're an important member. The company is also horrible at getting back to people on their pay, and is consistently controlled by a group of 3 hyper petty women who if you somehow hurt their feelings, will end up firing you, making your job harder or just not responding to any left over pay. Please be very careful and diligent about your pay with this lot. The company is very likely to not pay on time, or underpay. This is not only my experience but the experience of every tutor I worked with - they make it seem as if they're bestowing you a gift when you get more responsiblities for the same pay. They also seem to be homophobic so just...be aware of that and most managers try to meddle in teenage business which is just weird. From giving unsolicited advice, trying to set up people and so forth. LL is the typical "we're a family" business that you should avoid. Making comments on the looks of tutors and so forth, with blatant favouritism which honestly looks more like a curse. Tutors who are favoured get more work and hardly any praise, and theres a weird competitive vibe. The higher up you go, the more two-faced behaviour you see, which is crazy because it pays maybe £ 9. It goes to say, theres a reason why the people at the top are there - they sell out others for some change x Hopefully my grammar was alright (?), its been a long time since I was at learning labs - about 2 years so maybe some things have changed (I doubt it) (they haven't, I talked to company tutors and they still are miserable). LOL

They pay based on 'year group', so year 13's who are 18 get paid £7.50, not £10, which I find off-putting. There are no set hours. Right before I left, they became very weird about 'active learning,' as in tutors had to stand up to teach, not because it helped, but because it "looked better," which was more of an annoyance rather than a help for the students. They would tell tutors diff things about what to do, which would be confusing, and sometimes it felt a bit passive-aggressive - the difference between branches is astounding, some are very strict and rigid, and others don't even care if you wear the right uniform. I did see a bit of favouritism, but honestly, I didn't get paid enough to care. I would see some tutors with a group of 7 kids struggling to manage. I left after around 4 months of consistently working there since it made my weekends a bit miserable, and I would rather not do that. I think it's an alright first job for experience, and it wasn't all bad, more of a 30:70 ratio.
