It was a pleasure to work at SSLC. I quit due to personal reasons but I only have good things to say about the company. They treat you like a person, not an employee. That's reflected in the benefits and how management approaches employees. It’s just collaboration and ideas. They pay fair and there are opportunities to take up more work after school hours if you like. The office environment is organized, fun, and expansive. They take curriculum and students’ academic needs quite seriously which makes them stand out from other party schools. The Director and academic manager are a delight to talk to and work with, as are the other staff. There are different programs to teach ,and training processes are a breeze. They have all the resources and support. I’d love to go back and teach here as time and my career goals permit ,and I know I’ll be welcomed with open arms. 

I've worked at the Toronto campus for a number of years and I've always felt supported. I've been lucky to have great management who have an open-door policy and I never feel afraid to bring up any of my concerns with them. I've taught every level and various specialty classes and I really enjoy the students. The school is a very positive environment for students from around the world to network and become friends, and I personally love to be surrounded by that energy every day. It makes me love my job.

As a temporary job, this is a very good opportunity to grow professionally if you are seeking experience working with children. You will have a hands-on experience working with a large group of students coming to Canada to learn English. It is perfect fit for you if you want to work with people from all around the world and have fun during the summer! I highly recommend working here if you are looking for gaining experience and want to have fun.

If you like teaching, you'll survive here, but that's about it. Management is focused on surviving and making profit, the students are viewed as clients and the teachers a necessary evil. The union is trying to make the school better but to no avail, and on top of that the teachers need to work with an embarrassingly outdated curriculum. Too many students and literally not enough room, anyone who needs a job is hired here out of necessity, not skill. 

Enjoyed my time there, taught 5-6 hours a day with school curriculum provided. Wide variety of cultures represented both in staff and in classroom. Very little communication with upper management. Salary always paid on time, and with union present always got increase in wages at set year intervals.

This company is very poorly run. Management has no plan except survival. Everything they do is ad hoc. They provide zero support for teachers and are essentially scamming international students. The curriculum is extremely out of date and of very poor quality.  

Students are great and if you love teaching then you’ll love the classroom. Other than that, upper management does not seem to know how to run a professional school and anyone can be promoted into any job at any time. 

there is room to grow within the environment but as it is unionized it takes time to have the job security there.
