Pros

The learning processes WORK. It really is "magical" to see the leaps and bounds made by students thanks to the brilliant programs and hard work of so many LBLP employees. This is a great summer job for bright college students.

Cons

Rather nepotistic, clique-minded organization. The pay for clinicians and consultants is EXTREMELY LOW, far less than half the going rate for one-to-one private tutoring. Even considering that clients are paying for the whole program (materials, tailored instruction) the percentage of pay going to those working WITH the student is astonishingly low. The center where I worked (Bellevue, WA) had constant turnaround of its employees due to how difficult the Center Director could be. I had worked in other centers and found the staff supportive and with reasonable expectations; at the Bellevue center there was a weird, arbitrary sense of suspicion, condescension, and patronization from the CD.

Pros

It’s great to try to help people, but…

Cons

They’re so set on their particular philosophical style, but realistically, it cannot be one size fits all. Clinicians who work there are NOT experts; they only get two weeks of training. And the sessions are extremely tight, with back-to-back students (just five minutes between each, leaving no time to prepare for the next one and no chance for clinicians to catch a breath). Lessons take place in cramped, mostly shared spaces, so everyone tends to be over-stressed. There’s no way that what is taught there, and the environment in which it’s taught, is worth what they’re charging families. Not to mention that the staff break room is like the size of a closet, and even in that tight space, many people just aren’t very friendly and hardly acknowledge your presence.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. We appreciate that our mission of helping students reach their learning potential resonated with you. At the same time, we are disappointed to read your comments regarding training, scheduling, and your experience with our instructional model. Our initial training is designed to prepare clinicians to begin working one-to-one with students using our unique approach. That training continues through ongoing mentoring and instructional guidance from experienced staff members who oversee lesson planning, monitor student progress, and support instructional quality. This team-based model is central to our instructional approach and to supporting student outcomes. We regret that the purpose and value of this model were not evident during your employment. We also recognize that learning center work can be demanding, particularly during busy periods, and we appreciate your perspective regarding scheduling and the work environment. Feedback such as yours is valuable as we continue working to improve communication and the overall staff experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
