Tutoring Club

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at The Tutoring Club is that everyone is s a team player; there are no toxic employees. We all are 'there' for the students. As a result, all of the students get the attention that they need. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working here is that on occasion, due to weather or other unforseen calamity, the students are sometimes late in arriving. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We have a very laid back environment. The students seem to have a good time while learning, yet most are aware that others are studying and are mostly quiet. We have a very diverse student body, and everyone gets along well. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is getting there about 10-15 minutes early, clocking in, getting prepped for the students that I will be tutoring; usually have up to three students each hour, but sometimes only one or two. Usually, at least one child is called out for some reason (either sick, or parents forgot and planned something else.)

It's very flexible, and I like that you can choose your hours and come in accordingly. Management is pretty understanding and respects the fact that the employees are students with other things to do. However, there are a lot of issues with prior notice. I've been called last minute many times, sometimes even a few hours before my shift. I understand that it is a part-time job, so the shifts are small, but I feel like that should also guarantee a good work-life balance. Last minute call-ins and hour changes don't really contribute to that. Sometimes, I get so paranoid about getting called in out of nowhere that I'm afraid of making plans with people.  It's gotten very busy over the past few months due to new tutors and also massive student influxes, so that could explain the sudden changes in timings. But the changes shouldn't be this excessive and get in the way for students who are mostly busy with their lives too.

I had this job while I was a college student and I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity. The work culture at my site was amazing, the kids were fun to work with, and my supervisor was very flexible and understanding about taking days off whenever I needed to. The workload was very manageable and it was very easy for me to divide my commitment between my schoolwork and my job. I highly recommend this job for any students looking for an opportunity to make money on the side while still being able to focus on school. However, I think anyone who wants to seek a profession in education or working with students in general will really enjoy their time working here just like I did. 

Typically, students are scheduled with tutors at a set time each day for whatever type of help they need. It is the tutor's job to locate the areas where the student could use most improving, and fill in the blanks in conceptual learning with what the tutor is able to impart. Management works very well with the both the tutors' and the students' schedules. The job itself is not overly difficult and the hours actually fly by as the tutor spends time helping the student(s) learn and complete assignments. The satisfaction of seeing the students' confidence in their studies grow makes the entire experience worthwhile.

This was a part time job I had as a math tutor.  It was in the Princeton area so lots of rich parents.  My experience was not that bad in the sense that I was able to help students that lacked core understanding in math.  Some students were willing to learn which helped and made the experience better; however, some students were completely hopeless and you felt like you were wasting time.  The compensation was terrible!  My boss charged $60 per session and yet I only received $15 from each of those sessions and I was doing the majority of the work.  I felt completely used.  My boss was a nice guy but very cheap.

While I was here, my schedule was busy due to being a uni student. I was using public transportation to get back home. My supervisor stated that a bus ride from SC to Watsonville was 15 minutes or less which is NOT at all the case. Due to traffic and multiple stops, that bus ride back was 2 hours. After I expressed my concern to my supervisor,I asked to reduce the hours I could work, but instead of being accomodating like he was with other student workers at the time,  I was fired over email due to being "lacking honesty" during my interview and that I "lacked responsibility"

Fast placed and friendly place to work.  One must be highly adaptable to employer's needs.

The Club services children with varying needs.

My experience there was the main result of the Club's ability to adapt to changes in scheduling and the ability to match students' personalities with tutors who would develop me.  The matches were sometimes strained and stressful.  The table ratios, at times, made a student's progress seem minimal.  I often wanted to give more time to each student to build strengths in weak areas.

The basis of the company is to have people fill in temporarily and fire you when one thing goes bad. They let you go without reasoning.On one of the earlier days of working, I was the only person working that evening and was swamped with tutoring 3 kids at a time every hour for four hours. This was all while the manager and her assistant just sat in the office gossiping. They keep staff size short so the management could maximize their own profits. No proper management. Find another tutoring club to work for like the one across the street!

on a scale of 1 to 5 where 5 means i'm very satisfied and 1 means i'm very unsatisfied I was a 7.  My boss was amazing.  The kids were amazing.  I was given free reign to instruct according to my design.  I find that kids will open up to you if you are nice and just care about them.  That's basically how things were while I was there.  greet them by name when they walk in the door.  always smile because its truly good to see them and a pleasure to work with them.  Just those two little things (be nice and care about them) are all that were needed and they proved effective toward the productivity and learning processes in their development in the area of mathematics and life.

The real downside of being a tutor at Tutoring Club is that generally, you will have 3 students all working on different things for a single hour. It is really difficult to give a child the attention and support they need to learn something they're struggling with if you are also attending to 2 other children also. They also use specific packets of worksheets, quizzes, and tests that are very uninspired. It felt less like I was helping a child learn and more of assigning them worksheets to be completed. 

Management also gives very little guidance on how to manage children with poor behavior. Which there can be many.
