Pros
It can be very satisfying to tutor kids in need, especially those less fortunate. The programs Sylvan has created are very good and make sure that the children are mastering what they need to master before moving on to more complicated material. It is very easy to learn the programs. The lessons are very straightforward, no previous teaching experience is necessary.
Cons
The hours are limited. Generally there are only 16-20 teachable hours per week. Mon - Thursday evenings and Saturday morning. When recording information about a teaching session, some information needs to be recorded in three or more different places which gets annoying and time consuming.
