Sylvan has made an art out of cutting corner's in education expenses: did you know that they barely pay their teacher's minimum wage? $12/hour is the starting salary for credentialed teacher's here in LA - twelve measly dollars! Now what does Sylvan charge parent's per hour you ask? 50 Dollars!
Adding insult to injury; sylvan then often will group together 2 to 4 kids with a single tutor whom more likely than not hates her working there.
Its worth paying for your kids to have a good education; however, in the case of Sylvan, you aren't getting what you pay for. Sending your kids to sylvan for the day can mean paying $100/hour for a $7 tutor. Where does all the money go - a persons pocket?
What do you think?
