Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions. As a young company, we really do appreciate this feedback and are working to make changes in response to it. We’re sorry that you felt the pay we offer tutors is insufficient. We recently revised our payment system to allow tutors to advance more quickly from our baseline payment of $15/hour to a maximum of $20.90 plus added weekly bonuses. We agree that the PayPal fees can definitely add up, which is why we have committed to paying half of those fees when we issue the money transfer. We also now offer domestic PayPal transfers to US citizens, which amount to just $0.25. We’re also currently exploring other ways of paying our tutors, which will incur less fees on both ends. We very much appreciate your frustration regarding our former cancellation policy. In response to criticisms about our cancellation and no-show fines, we have now (from June 2020) scrapped them entirely! They’ve been replaced with our “Star-Strike” system, which is designed to reward rather than penalise our tutoring community. We also entirely agree that, back when this review was published, we had a genuine shortage of students. We’ve worked hard since then to address this problem and now the majority of lesson slots opened by tutors are booked within 24 hours! We’re committing to continuing to offer a reliable source of income to all our tutors. We are committed to improving transparency and communication with our tutoring community. If you have any further feedback or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact Moorea, our new Tutor Relations Manager (herself a tutor with Ringle for 3 years) at tutor-relationships@ringleplus.com.

Pros

Lots of flexibility and great tutoring interface. Can truly choose your own hours and high demand so likely to get booked.

Cons

Not much, there is a very low tolerance for tutors being late etc. but makes sense

Pros

Most of the students are lovely. The hours are generally flexible, and there is little preparation required.

Cons

The worst thing about this company is how they treat their tutors. They keep looking for sneaky ways to lower the tutor pay, and the way that they want the classes structured is arbitrary. They provide strict feedback that is nearly possible to implement, and they have a countless number of minuscule rules to follow that are impossible to keep up with. In other words, the tutor is never right.
