	+ ------ + ''2008-05-28 09:52:49'' [[nbsp]] I have had a wonderful experience with Sylvan. It is a fun part-time job. The center staff is wonderful. They are smart, friendly, and a lot of fun. The kids are great. I know each one of them both educationally and personally. In a 3:1 teaching ratio, they make incredible progress in a short time. In the high school classroom, if I and the kids work hard, I can skip them up 3-4 grade levels by the end of the year. At Sylvan, they can grow one grade level per month. If my kids were behind or needed enrichment, I would not hesitate to send them to Sylvan. + + Regarding teacher qualifications, every teacher we have is both qualified and trained. To work here, you must have a valid credential (multiple subject (K-8th), single subject (7th-college), or substitute (K-12th). To get any of these credentials, one has to graduate from college and pass the state mandated tests. To become a classroom teacher, one must graduate college, complete a teacher credentialing program, be a student teacher (aka teach for free for 6 months), and clear their credential through a two year induction program. Every five years, teachers must complete continuing education to renew their credential. In addition to all of this, Sylvan has a subject specific training program for each subject taught at the learning center. + + We have a variety of teachers and it is a great strength for the center. We have elementary teachers, private school teachers, high school teachers, a UCD teacher, and a UCD grad student (math specialist). I am fully credentialed (jr. high through college), have a master's degree in education, and have been in teaching for over 8 years. by the way, I am not the boss. I am just a happy Sylvan teacher. --["Users/AM"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-05-27 16:28:49'' [[nbsp]] Sylvan's requirements for instructors vary based on what you want to teach. Math specialists require a secondary degree in math or a related field (e.g. Econ). Anyone teaching reading, writing etc must have a credential through the state of CA. A substitute teaching credential does count! Sylvan also employs teacher assistants who do not have to have a secondary degree. + + Jeff -- did you work at the Sylvan in Davis? Things vary quite a bit center by center depending on management! I will admit I'm biased, but I've held several positions at Sylvan in Davis and enjoyed them all :) --["Users/SaraGoldband"]

Maybe they mean certified through their own training program. I know that they do have to have a bachelors degree though. --["Users/MattHh"]
