Pluspunten

I liked my fellow tutors a lot and met some incredible kids.

Minpunten

This company is probably the worst I have ever worked for. The job description is deceiving. What they don't tell you is that you will be working with many children who qualify as "special needs" and who have moderate to severe behavioral issues. This is not "tutoring", but closer to educational therapy using a program that is outdated in its delivery and that you are told you are not allowed to deviate from. The 10-day "training" they provide is laughable at best and barely touches on how to manage students who need moderate to severe behavior management. Additionally, the pay rate they offer is ridiculous given the job expectations and what they charge parents per hour. Essentially, each tutor makes about 10-13% of what parents are charged hourly and the tutors do all the work. In one word, this company exploits its tutors, whom they call "clinicians". At the center where I worked, there was clear favoritism, with one employee showing up 2.5 hours late pretty much every day, then spending several hours doing personal things on their computer, even during sessions with students, with complete knowledge and support of center management. This person got promoted over others who had more education experience and who actually showed up and did their work. Demoralized is a good word for how I and several of my colleagues felt at the end of work each day, and I am a highly experienced educator. The turnover rate is extremely high and no wonder. When I dared to bring up the favoritism issue to management, it was brushed aside, and subsequently, any advancement opportunities I had been offered suddenly disappeared.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Lindamood-Bell. Unfortunately, it seems that some of our policies may not have been implemented as designed. The learning ability evaluation process informs our instruction recommendations for all students, including those with known specific challenges. Our instruction department provides additional guidance for any student who needs an individualized plan for engaging in sessions and staying on track. We also work with a student’s outside team of professionals whenever possible. Setting the stage for success is core to our approach. We regret that our core philosophy was not clear during your employment. We strive to provide a positive work environment, treating all individuals with respect, offering sensitivity, and valuing each other.

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

Minpunten

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.
