I'm currently working at a Sylvan Learning Center, and have mixed feelings about it because for the past six years, I have been either privately tutoring (one- on- one) or teaching whole classrooms. Although I certainly feel more challenged working at Sylvan (3:1 student-teacher ratio, all on different subjects), I am wondering if this kind of environment is helpful for Sylvan "graduates."
If you have completed a lot of hours at Sylvan Learning Center (200+, for example), or have stopped going to Sylvan, I want to know how well the experience benefited you in school, work, etc.
The main issue I see with Sylvan-- and it seems to be the main issue with many-- is the "corporate" aspect of the learning facility. I don't believe school and business should collide any more than school and religion, but perhaps I'm an idealist.
Any information is helpful. Thank you. :-)
