Sylvan Learning Center Employer Reviews

Rewarding atmosphere. Great co-workers and support structure.

Loved working with the staff. The students ranged from pre-K to college students. The job kept me on my toes because I never knew what math level I would have until the hour started.

I worked there for about two years I started off as a book keeper then got promoted to front desk assistant.The management was very involved in everything about the company.

experienced employees, can be challenging with different students and their varying skills

This is a fast paced company. I was trained to keep up amidst a challenging experience.

Great place to work if you love children, you meet all kinds of people and it is a fun environment.

The typical day of teaching was orderly and organized with the students coming in on their daily schedule. Management was well run and knew the direction they were going. I enjoyed my time there but the pay was not as good as I thought it would be in the beginning but I knew I was there for the students. There were no hard parts of the day since I was – more...  doing what I enjoyed most, assisting the students improve their education and abilities. – less

This is an amazing company to work for. The owners, staff and instructors are very focused to make learning fun. As an employee they help you to succeed!

Excellent teaching material and overall assistance.
Excellent coordinators at sites.
Well managed after school programs.

Great place to work. duties consisted of scheduling appointments, answering phones, and data entry using simplicity.

It was fun to work with Sylvan Learning Center. Teaching children and see them learn was rewarding.

The progras work. The owner of my sylvan was very cheap and would not purchase needed items.

Management was horrible. Sometimes my hours were cut without notifying me.

most of the people are great to work with. You have the flexibility to come up with new processes on your own. Due to this though there are not a lot of processes, you are constantly re-inventing parts of the company. Strong programs. The programs for the children are great. It's the in office and what it takes to run a Sylvan center that demands a – more...  lot. Lots of hours and rarely are people put on hourly pay. This means LOTS of hours and no pay. – less

Sylvan is a smaller company which received a huge contract to go to local middle and elementary schools to teach MCAS prep to students in need, of which there are many. Sylvan is trying to hire enough tutors to meet the sudden demand. They send the work to the school where the tutors wait, quickly read the worksheets and meet the students for a few – more...  hours of reading, writing, and math. – less

Very organized place. Calm work environment. Students are generally willing to learn and want to be there.

It is a great place for teachers that are starting out their teaching careers and/or retired teachers to get some part-time income. Its an awesome first job for 16 year olds for the summer or even college students.

Sylvan was a amazing company to work for. My center was sold to a franchise owner who wanted to run the center themselves. I loved working with the children and seeing them learn and grow. It was difficult to balance home and work when you take ownership of your center and want to cut down on labor costs.

I enjoyed working at Sylvan Learning Center. I like the fact that they have an assessment that will lead to the individualized instruction for each student. The atmosphere is positive as well! Teachers continually hand out praise and tokens! For the students' hard work, they get to keep a checkbook and spend their tokens at a school store. Not only – more...  do they increase their school skills and become more confident, but they also gain life skills! All in all, it is a very enjoyable atmosphere in which to work! :) – less
