One on One Learning

I was hired for a temporary position that, for some reason, was rolled out just a few weeks before the end of the school year. Because the program was initiated last minute, there was seemingly no preparation on the part of management. Tutors were given essentially no training and very few materials to work with students. Our program coordinator did little to communicate effectively to school faculty what exactly it was that we were doing or why we were there, which made many of the teachers distrusting and impatient with us. Our coordinator worked remotely in a different part of the country, so we ended up  being responsible for a lot of administrative tasks, like making our own schedules and reporting progress to school administration. Our "curriculum" consisted of nothing more than a handful of repetitive worksheets stapled together into a packet. No supplemental materials were given to us at all. Because of this, I often felt like I was wasting my students' time, and they sometimes made it clear that they thought so, too. Overall, it seemed that little thought was put into the program beyond the company's ability to make a quick buck, which made me feel sort of guilty about working for them.

To be fair, I believe the program might be effective under ordinary circumstances, because it is supposedly very different than what we experienced. At the same time, I was so unimpressed with the company's behavior and so disappointed in my day-to-day experience at work that I will not be returning if the program is re-released in the fall.

I am a former employee and I loved working for this company. You have different tutoring seminars which helps you learn and grow, as well as win incentives for being so wonderful. My school had really good communication when it comes to their coordinator working with our coordinator, as well as if you just needed someone to reach out to for assistance with any child. My coordinator also worked very well with us and was always available when we needed her for anything, even when I first started and I didn't know that those who work with older children do not get paid more which I still feel strongly about, but she did the best she could to reach out to the district about my concerns. I will miss my school staff ,children, and co-workers dearly everyone has grown on me and is always supportive. This is a great company to work for. It's like a family and if you can hang in there through any tough times, it's worth staying for a long time. 

Company has good intentions but poor execution. There were frequent miscommunication issues. Some days tutors would sit in an empty room with little to no resources and no schedule. Constantly told for months to “just give it time” for groups to get organized.  It was rewarding when we did get opportunities to work with kids but mainly just used us for busy work or to babysit the “behavior” students. No benefits and no advancement opportunities. They give you no autonomy. Very micromanaged. As a teacher for the last decade i was hoping this company would help me be more effective in my teaching and building relationships. I was wrong. Being assigned to a school 40+ minutes away with tolls was a struggle and inconsiderate.  Did not feel like a trusted employee, there were frequent visits asking for updates which were underwhelming due to the knowledge they had about the inconsistencies and nothing was being done about it. Did not feel appreciated or utilized properly at all.

The hours were flexible. I scheduled with each student's parents to work out a time best for all of us. I tutored 5 kids and I completed 2 hours with them every week. I learned to manage my time with assessing childrens' curricula. It gave me the opportunity to understand how my students' learning process was and what worked best for them.What I found out that really helped was getting feedback from the students on what they learned every time we finished a tutoring session. I thought the idea of 'processing' what they just learned helps it stick longer. I was also working on my communication skills between parents and my boss. There were challenging moments I throughout this job but I was able to overcome them with being patient and understanding towards my students, their parents, and my employer.

It was never a sure thing if you were going to receive students. One on One did not really have a proper agreement with this school to put us to effective use. Often times, we just had to go to classrooms ourselves to see if teachers wanted us to sit in their class and help out, and not too many teachers were happy to send their students with us to our designated classroom. Yet you couldn't just sit there do nothing, so that made it difficult at times.

 Also, all the tutors were great except for one who was a notorious problem. Would disappear when her students were looking for her, would hand off responsibilities she didn't enjoy to us, had all kinds of excuses why she couldn't do certain chores etc, yet the company was too afraid to deal with her. They lost 3 other good tutors due to this.
Definitely good as an interim job to get some experience, but not somewhere you'd want to do more than one school year


One on One Learning is a good stepping stone job. There are no paid days off, you won't get paid over the summer, no paid holidays.  Each school has a hand full of tutors, you might work very closely with them or you may just be in the same room. Schools are 'managed' by a project manager. You will either have a great one or a really bad one, there is no in between. They are meant to mentor you when needed, but mostly they are suppose to get you supplies and work with the school too insure everyone has a good schedule and good support. Some PCs are to focused on belittling the tutors and as a result, tutors don't get what they need and tend to become restless with the company. 

The company is a good one though, they have great values and their mission is awesome.

In my position, there are a couple of remote days and a few days that are out on the school sites each week. The hardest part of the job is maintaining the work/life balance during some months of the year when it is the busiest, at both the beginning and the end of the school year.   The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the student gains in both academics and confidence throughout the year.  Secondly and just as enjoyable is building the relationships and supporting the tutors, schools and other stakeholders within each program.

Arrive, check in and go to the site to meet students.  Work with students on areas identified as weak.  Look at math and reading  to see where improvement is needed and  also where congratulations are in order for success.  If time is left, ask to see HW assignments and help where students may struggle to start.

Too much paperwork. Also, I’m not a fan of I-Ready, but we had to use this for baseline assessments.

I worked out in the field, but I never had a problem! My supervisor was very supportive always.
