Working directly with students and making real progress is wonderful
Cons
Tyrannical school management leads to a culture of living in fear and sucking up to survive which is only masked by a high employee turnover rate

Thank you for your review. We agree that Tilden's mission to provide an engaging and individualized learning experience for students is the most important goal, and we hire both teachers and administrators whom we believe will most realize that goal. We also agree that teachers need stability and we have implemented a range of policies to meet that need. Tilden has a very standardized progressive discipline model that provides a great deal of support to help teachers be successful. It is extremely rare that Tilden ever ends a teacher's employment. We are sorry if this model wasn't a good fit for you.
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.
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.
