Achieve Test Prep

I joined Achieve Test Prep at the recommendation of a friend who already worked there.  It was a company that offered classes for nursing students as well as tutoring for said classes either at a location or online.  This worked well for me as a part time job as I could fit it around another job I had at the time.

I was asked what I would like to teach, and while I requested to teach English Comp Course or Biology as I felt I was competent enough to teach either one of those subjects, I was instead slated to teach the Anatomy and Physiology Course.  Apparently they had trouble filling those courses with teachers.  Now I know why.  I had no business teaching that particular subject as I wasn't knowledgeable about that subject at all - I went as far as to talk to my sister (a nursing student at the time) and my cousin (an athletic trainer) on how just the pronunciation of medical terms! More often than not I found out that I was pronouncing them wrong in class, yet no one called me out on it! I can only imagine that the same thing happened with previous teachers (like me not knowing the material) teaching that course.

I worked in Philadelphia briefly at an actual location before I  moved and was subsequently made an online teacher and tutor.  In both situations I believe a had a good rapport with the people who had signed up for the course, but most of the time it was hard to tell because it was usually working nurses trying to earn their degree between long work shifts, so more often than not I would see very exhausted people (which probably explains why no one called me on my horrible mispronunciation skills).

I did like that Achieve Test Prep provided all the Power Point presentations and the course book for me, but anything else (supplemental videos, worksheets, etc) I got myself.

Near the end of my time working for ATP, I helped to revamp their syllabus and course materials for their Biology and Anatomy and Physiology classes.  That part was actually rather enjoyable for me because I like putting together things like that.

I don't know how they run things now as I left soon after revamping those courses and it's been a few years since.  Bottom Line, I enjoyed working for them when I did, however I think they should have actually had me teach something that I was actually knowledgeable in, not something that they just needed to fill a position for.

My experience at work has been truly enjoyable and rewarding. Over time, I’ve grown accustomed to the work environment, which has made my days less stressful and more fun. Assisting customers has become second nature, and one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned on the job is the importance of patience and empathy.

The management team is supportive and always ready to assist, creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere. The workplace culture feels like a family—there’s no toxicity or discrimination, just mutual respect and collaboration.

I wouldn’t say there’s a particularly hard part of the job because help is always available when needed. The most enjoyable aspect for me is knowing that there’s always someone ready to listen and respond to any concerns or questions. It’s a great place to work, and I truly appreciate being part of such a positive environment.

Each day, I connect with prospective students via Zoom to deliver engaging presentation and ask insightful questions to understand their educational and career goals. 

Since joining, I've developed valuable leadership and team support skills. Working with people from diverse backgrounds has also broadened my perspective, helping me to effectively communicate and adapt my approach to meet varied needs. The workplace culture is inclusive and collaborative, even in a remote environment. This diversity fosters open communication, adaptability, and shared commitment to student success.

So far, I have not encountered any specific challenge in this role. Each day feels rewarding, as I have the support and resources needed to help student feel confident in their next steps. The most fulfilling aspect of my job is knowing that students leave our conversations feeling more confident and excited about their journey. It is deeply rewarding to see them feel empowered, and ready and to move closer to achieving their educational goals.

A typical day at work:
A typical day is manageable, with tasks being fairly routine. While the workload can fluctuate, most days follow a predictable structure, making it easier to plan your time.

What I believe I learned:
The company offers decent opportunities to hone your professional skills, but more structured development programs would be a plus.

Management:
Management is generally approachable and open to feedback, though sometimes decision-making can feel slow or unclear. More transparency and timely communication would improve the overall experience.

Workplace culture:
The culture is friendly and supportive for the most part. Colleagues are willing to help each other, but there could be more effort from leadership to foster team spirit and engagement.

The hardest part of the job:
At times, the workload can feel overwhelming, especially during peak periods. Juggling multiple priorities can be challenging without clear direction.

The most enjoyable part of the job:
The team atmosphere is one of the highlights. Working with collaborative and knowledgeable colleagues makes the day more enjoyable and rewarding.

Achieve is a great place to work, especially if you're looking for a company that values time flexibility and work-life balance. One of the standout benefits is the freedom to manage your own schedule, which allows you to maintain a healthy balance between personal life and work. This flexibility makes it easier to meet deadlines without feeling pressured by rigid hours.

Another major plus is the lack of micromanagement. Management trusts employees to complete their tasks independently, which fosters an empowering work environment. They encourage employees to take ownership of their responsibilities, leading to greater satisfaction and productivity.

Achieve also has supportive management that genuinely cares about the well-being of the team. Managers are approachable, open to feedback, and provide assistance when needed. This collaborative atmosphere creates a positive workplace culture.

I've worked at Achieve Test Prep for about 1 year. I came to this company as a manager, because I wanted to work from home. The best part of this job is the flexibility of working from home 100% of the time. The company culture promotes relationship building in a virtual environment, and a healthy work-life balance. My manager and I have a close relationship which includes lots of direction and feedback. The leadership team is very supportive of one another. My team is passionate about helping customers and empowering them to reach their goals. As with any job, change and communication can be difficult and the virtual environment enhances this. I expect to keep working and growing with Achieve Test Prep for many years to come.

A typical day at Achieve is filled with meetings, coaching sessions, and daily tasks to meet our goals. While the job can be challenging at times, the people here make it worthwhile. Hearing a heartfelt testimonial from a student or a fellow employee brings a sense of fulfillment and reminds you that the work we do has a positive impact.

The most challenging part of the role is sometimes navigating communication between different groups. However, this can also be seen as a positive, as it reflects the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the organization. Overall, it's rewarding to be part of a team that strives to make a difference.

I've worked part time for Achieve for a little over a year.  In that short amount of time there's been tremendous growth and new opportunities to pursue.  Once your talents are discovered Achieve attempts to place you where your strengths lie and challenge you with new projects.  I've seen many improvements since I started which not only improve the student experience but also the employee experience.  We've got a great team who works together to provide the best customer service to our students.

a typical day at work is pretty smooth. when you login on hubstaff, you just start with your task list. you can have them by priority or just start with whatever feels comfortable to you, in case you need assistance your manager is always there to assist, also, you have great co-workers, even if you do not talk much to them, we always greet each other respectfully and sometimes we even joke around, so is good. you can also have a peaceful lunch time without anyone interrupting. 
eventhough some days are very stressful due to the amount of work, you can be sure that works stays at work. when you log out, thats it. is pretty great to have a balance, makes you worry less and you can enjoy your work. 

My coworkers feel like a second family, and I love being part of a team that supports our students every step of the way. 
The collaborative culture ensures that whenever challenges arise, there's always someone to help resolve them. The work/life balance has been a blessing, allowing me to support my family during a health crisis and be present for my teenage son's school activities. 
Working closely with our CEO & COO, I am constantly inspired to learn and grow daily. I couldn’t ask for a better place to work!
