Vantaggi
The best part of working at Sylvan is the flexibility that has been given to me as a Director of a Center. While the instruction all takes place after school, I am responsible for my schedule up until then. I can choose when to schedule my meetings with parents, classroom teachers when I am going to market Sylvan in the community. I love meeting with parents and working with teachers to personalize learning plans for each and every student. It is so great to work with such a variety of kids on a daily basis. I started working at a different center as an Instructor while in graduate school. I showed initiative to learn more about the business side of Sylvan and transitioned from Instructor to Director of Education to eventually Center Director. I had a great support system in place through all of the transitions. I have learned a lot about operating a business, which I know will help me to further my career.
Svantaggi
A lot of responsibility is put on one person with a lot of expectations.
