Pros

The site used to be good but now you can't get as many students as before and due to the commission the company takes from you (25%) tutors have been forced to increase their fees.

Cons

I've been working for Tutorhunt for eight years and unfortunately I had to increase my fees because now they charge tutors a commission of 25% !! On top of this their service is aaawful! I've had some technical problems and when I emailed them they did not reply at all. In one occasion a student called them and requested to change the day of the lesson, they changed it automatically without asking me whether I was available or not!!! I was so, sooo angry as I found this extremely unprofessional. I called them and they could not give me a proper explanation not even an apology!!. Now I need to cancel a lesson with a student who told me is seriously ill, I've contacted them and they keep ignoring me. I can cancel it myself but if I do I get the message I've attached. A terrible company to work with...

Pros

Technically still works, I guess.

Cons

The commission is so high, that if I take more than minimum wage I can't get any students. I have no interest in working for minimum wage, therefore I have very little use left for this site.
