This is an awful company!!! My son was required to work with OLE for five different acting gigs between the 4th-9th grades. He experienced a range of their teachers, sometimes for a few months of tutoring and it was a scam every time. One teacher actually told the students and parents that she simply, "doesn't do math!", then she sat down and read her newspaper. Multiple teachers were nasty yellers and punishing, requiring students to work silently even if they had questions! I have documentation of emails with Jodi Green laying out curriculum prior to contracts to ensure teachers would arrive with subject knowledge, which of course they didn't, and subsequent emails from the teacher saying she didn't know how to do the school work. The stories go on and on. There are other tutoring company options out there that are the real thing. I don't understand how OnLocation has intimidated and fooled Production companies into believing they are doing right by our kids. They create more stress because no learning takes place and then parents end up paying to send their kids to a "real" tutor to catch up before reintegrating to their schools. I've spoken with dozens of stage parents who have similar experiences. This company is about making money, they do not care about education. read more

This "education" company which nationally services children in the entertainment industry is about as bad as education gets. They charge exorbitant prices to producers and hire mostly incompetent "teachers" who are usually unqualified to teach subjects beyond second grade-and say they are K-12 certified. It seems like the people who work for OLE just want to say they've worked on set or on Broadway. We did not have a good experience with the multitude of teachers we worked with. Now, during Covid-19, they are marketing themselves to unsuspecting parents who are realizing how difficult it is to school at home. Parents in the industry have struggled to get production companies to hire different tutoring firms. The owner has lobbied at the state level for working conditions for children that benefits his company not children. There are so many things wrong with they way children are treated in the industry, but the lack of attention to find education starts with this company. read more
