Good pay, good support, great students - Teacher Tilden Preparatory Employee Review

Pros

The one-on-one teaching model works for a lot of students who have struggled in classroom environments. It's intense for the teachers--you're always "on"--but the curricula are straightforward and the students receptive, for the most part. Not a ton of involvement in day-to-day activities from the administration, which is mostly a pro. Starting pay CAN be good (see below), and work life balance is great--there's very little to take home, if you don't want there to be.

Cons

I negotiated a great starting rate, but I know others have not, so there are some disparities across the faculty. Benefits are so-so, and eligibility starts at 25 hrs/week. KP and BC for medical, no retirement plan. There's very little downtime, and barely enough paid prep time for the amount of work to be done. A little more would make a big difference.

Pros

Amazing co-workers, admin who cares, and lots of resources. 1:1 instruction has lots of benefits for the student and is fun and challenging for the instructor.

Cons

There are a few cons I can think of some teachers like flexible hours but this is also a nice perk when you have other projects you are working on or are tutoring in the evening like I am.

Pros

Lots of different teaching assignments. Breadth of material keeps it interesting. Almost all students are easy to work with and real teaching. Good way to get into teaching without a credential.

Cons

Pay rate is low. Not as many holidays as regular teachers. Must work summer to make an OK income.
