      Pros

      - good teacher feedback from trainers - diverse student needs (3:1 teaching model and need for differentiating instruction) - structured SAT curriculum that is flexible enough for different teaching styles/ individualized pacing - great practice for beginning teachers to learn how to manage time/ multi-task/ hone interpersonal skills. - other teachers are open to sharing ideas and are friendly - directors are generally understanding and flexible

      Cons

      - management is not always knowledgeable about students' daily progress and often don't have enough concrete advice/guidance/student data for teachers. - non-standardized test curriculum/materials are kind of sparse

      Pros

      The individual center directors have a lot of say in the working lives of their tutors, so experiences from town to town might vary. The director at my center is good; she runs interference between teachers and parents, holds meetings so that teachers can compare notes, and listens to suggestions. She relies on her tutors for most of the academic direction. My regional trainer, educational director, and VP also involve themselves in major issues and are willing to listen to suggestions. Teachers who put forth the effort can expand their horizons (i.e. teach an SAT Boot Camp, start book clubs, work on projects). The company encourages suggestions from its tutors. The pay is decent; it’s not as much as one-on-one, in-home tutoring, but you don’t have to worry so much about hours. The curriculum for high-school students is great.

      Cons

      Tutors have to be flexible; a class of three can have a third-grader learning basic sentence structure, an eighth-grader working on an essay, and a senior trying to ace the SAT. This can be stressful and requires an ability to plan and alter that plan according to need. Tutors are judged according to two factors: student success and classroom fun. Balancing these can be tricky. The regional trainers mention the pros and cons in detail during the interview. Listen to them before deciding if the job is for you. I have seen teachers who struggle with and complain about the very things they have been warned would happen.

      The salary they advertise is deceptive, there's no opportunities for advancement, and there are no benefits.

      Pros

      The three student model is interesting, the curriculum provided is decent, and there's no driving from house to house. Also when a student cancels, the three student model provides for a back-up so there's a minimal loss in hours.

      Cons

      The craigslist ads state that there's an opportunity for full time work. That's incorrect. They say that you can make $35,000 minimally; as far as I've been told I've maxed out the amount of allowable raises and I still do not make that much. There are no benefits. They make you sign a contract signing away your 30 minute lunch break or risk losing hours. Losing the lunch break wouldn't be a problem if there were a more stringent planning policy which forces teachers to scramble to re-plan new classes during the break. Finally, the company fails to consistently attract competent management because it insists on underpaying or not paying for performance; even if there were a clear path from tutor from manager, no one in their right minds would want the job.

      Its great that you recognize that our 3:1 student teacher model is a great way to accomodate the flexible schedule we provide our employees and families. It sounds like you've had a very negative experience with your local management team and I would like to address your concerns as soon as possible. We love our teachers and I am committed to making sure you feel valued and supported. Our HR and training teams have made alot of improvements to the development and compensation plans that provide you with more options. There is so much more to being a C2 Education teacher than just content knowledge and with these internal improvements, I hope you will agree this postion has so much to offer.
