Sylvan Learning Center I don't like St. Paul Center's handling of my sexual harassment case St. Paul MN
I strongly dislike how the franchisee of the St. Paul center handled the sexual harassment charges I leveled against two employees at that location.
The first charge was brought up after I endured three separate incidents involving another employee during our regularly scheduled evening work sessions. The second harassment charge involved a center leader, and it occurred DURING a meeting held to resolve the harassment allegations raised against the first employee. Looking back to the incident, I still cringe when I think of the leader's actions, because from my perspective, it feels like I was preyed upon.
I'm an actor, and shortly before the meeting, I sent the Sylvan leader an email about a suggestive tongue extension and unwanted touching of the buttocks and crotch that happened on a movie set. The Sylvan leader read this email, and to my horror, also seemed to stick her tongue out in a manner reminiscent of the filming harassment incident.
I worked at this location from late 2018 to early 2019, and once as a substitute at the Woodbury location and disliked my experiences at both places, operated by the same franchisee. In my quest to seek justice, I contacted the franchisee directly to resolve this matter, but he had his lawyer send me a cease and desist letter, which stated that I was harassing the tutoring center.
As an activist, if I witness blatant injustice with both eyes, no attorneys will be able to silence me, so I feel the need to warn others about this learning center. I recommend prospective employees, parents and students stay far away from this particular Sylvan center or the sister site.
