I did NOT like administering the reward thing. As a tutor you are supposed to give out 10 tokens per hour to each child. You are not really supposed to hold back unless you really have a difficult child. So really, what's the point of...

I've been at tutor at Sylvan It is an individualized program and the centre has a lot of resources. They work to help fill gaps for sure. I think that you do get a good program for what you pay for and I also think that you can get...

I'm the other parent in the mix here... just to clarify... SIL is no longer immunocompromised. There's no way we would expose someone immunocompromised. That would just be wrong. She's very sensitive to health threats because she was so...
