Pluspunten

If you like working with students, that aspect of the job is great. There are lots of incentives to reward student work and growth.

Minpunten

Scheduling is abominable. My manager will put out the weekly schedule after 5pm on Sunday evening. It makes it hard to schedule appointments or make plans during the week when I don't know until the last minute when I have to work. I was led to believe during interviews that I would be getting around 30 hours a week during the summer. Nope; we are open 30 hours a week, but I have only been put on the schedule for 8-12 hours a week. The pay is low for a tutoring job compared to other tutoring companies in my area. Sometimes, I will be asked to clock out if there are not enough students in the center (e.g. if students cancel). That means I lose out on some of the (already scant) hours that I'm getting. Other times, I will be asked to stay past my scheduled hours if students arrived to their sessions late. Sometimes I will get a text less than half an hour before my scheduled shift starts asking me to come in 30 minutes to an hour later. My availability has been ignored several times. Mandatory meetings are sometimes scheduled outside of normal working hours with less than 24 hours notice. Availability is ignored for events outside of normal operating hours and attendance at these events is mandatory. I will probably not keep this job past the summer. I'll update my post with the location at that time.

Pluspunten

Flexible hours that I could choose, nice working space. My boss was nice and very reasonable. Pay was decent after I completed some certifications. When the teaching was effective it was pretty rewarding and it can be fun to talk to the kids.

Minpunten

It was honestly a very tiring job. The kids can get really rowdy and difficult to manage, especially if you have to teach three at the same time. Management required us to use tablets and a finicky platform for worksheets that was not helpful and forced me to further split my attention.
