Pros

In the past, tutors at Learning Point only needed to work on one weekend (Saturday). Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Used to have many good teachers but over the years, most of them have left or are reducing their teaching load.

Cons

Favoritism is rampant, and double standard is rife. Decisions made by the family who owns the business (who does not much background in education) is driven by ego. The boss loves praising certain new hires to high heaven, only to be forced to eat his words later on when he realised how incompetent that person truly is and how they have overembellished their accomplishments. Customers are also deliberately being kept in the dark about certain important information, and a lot of decisions were made on the whim without consideration for the feelings of those involved. Another word of caution to those who intend to take the risk and join this place. Do not listen to all the "goodies" that the bosses try to dangle in front of you. Get them to write it down in black and white to show their sincerity in delivering on their promises.

Pros

Teaching & Student Impact 1) Developed curriculum and structured teaching frameworks that support lesson delivery 2) Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on students’ learning and confidence 3) Opportunities to work with diverse student profiles, building adaptability in teaching approaches Growth & Exposure 1) Exposure to responsibilities beyond teaching, including curriculum development and academic marketing 2) There are opportunities for growth, particularly for teachers who are willing to take on additional responsibilities Culture & Support 1) Collaborative environment with generally supportive colleagues across departments 2) Good reporting officers (ROs) who are supportive and understanding, contributing to a safe working environment 3) Efforts are made to introduce staff welfare and engagement initiatives 4) Have two days off in a row. Stability & Reputation 1) Teachers have been around for many years, which reflects the company’s established reputation

Cons

Training & Professional Development 1) Limited structured training and onboarding across departments, which may affect professional development and consistency 2) Existing systems may lean towards more traditional working styles, which may not fully support evolving expectations around structured growth and modern onboarding practices Operations & Workload 1) The current staffing model appears to rely heavily on part-time staff, which may impact continuity and workload distribution for full-time teachers 2) Teachers may be required to travel between locations at short notice (e.g. for class relief), with limited transport support provided Flexibility & Work Arrangements 1) Limited flexibility in work arrangements (e.g. no work-from-home options) 2) Taking annual leave outside of term breaks may be challenging due to operational constraints Compensation & Recognition 1) Bonus structure appears to be primarily tied to student count where you will not be compensated if target is not met. Limited consideration for broader contributions, dedication and other workload 2) Performance bonus is not guaranteed, and there is no 13th month bonus, which may affect income stability and overall morale 3) Additional responsibilities and internal projects are not clearly reflected in compensation 4) Limited transparency in performance evaluation and reward systems, which may lead to perceptions of inconsistency
