Overworked, Underappreciated, Easily Replaced - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso The Write Connection

You learn a lot about classroom management and growth mindset

Work load can be heavy at times

So, I'll be honest, when I first applied, I had never heard of the company and naturally came here and saw the reviews. There were some pretty bad ones but after working for more than 6 months, I can safely say it's really such an amazing company. I'm genuinely not paid to say this (in fact, I'm only putting this because Glass Door requires me to contribute to keep my access) but I've enjoyed working here so much and did not expect to love it this much. - Great company culture (i've yet to meet someone i really dislike in this company...which is a surprise to me too) - Very understanding and supportive colleagues/mentors - Very motivating culture - Innovative teaching practices - Students' well-being seems to be at the heart of the centres - But so is the well-being of the teachers - Training and support is provided for those new to tuition/teaching

So, it's not really a con for me because I prefer working like this but I know it might be for some: It's quite independent work after your initial training. You'll have supportive colleagues and you can feel free to talk to them about pedagogy & learning strategies/classroom management (everyone has been super helpful so far) but you really have to take initiative about raising your issues to them (whether it's your RO/colleagues). Basically, once you start teaching proper for a few months, no one might really "check in" on you. Micromanagement doesn't seem to be an issue here AT ALL but I guess for some people, they may take this as a lack of support/guidance because you're kind of on your own as a teacher. This is really personal preference in my opinion but there's a very easy fix (just voice it out to someone you trust in the company, and usually they'll help). I also believe this is more for adjunct teachers as part-timers & full-timers have mandatory weekly staff meetings, of which a number are dedicated to addressing such issues. The only other con is working weekends & evenings. But, this is something consistent for ALL tuition/enrichment centres and you may only get more flexibility if you pursue your own 1-1 tuition gigs. (I'm personally not for this which is why I prefer working as an adjunct)
