The job is very boring. You sit at a desk all day and solve issues with MS Office.

Tutor

March - June 2017 • East Chicago, IN

What I liked

I loved being around the students and knowing that they were safe in my care. I also thought the supervisor was a nice and caring man.

What I wish was different

I felt like I was a babysitter. There was no real tutoring really happening aside from one project. The teachers in charge just sat talking to one another while the students did what they please. I wish more education could have been done.

Advice

Don’t expect much. It’s a great idea to have this program but there isn’t much education happening.
