Pros
I love working from home and setting my own schedule. This was a great opportunity for me after leaving the corporate world. I love math and helping students understand mathematical concepts. I tutor higher level math like pre-calc, calculus, statistics and finance, so my students are either High School or College students. So I'm very busy and get many online tutoring opportunities via Varsity. The online platform is also very easy to use.
Cons
There is no differentiation in pay even if you tutor high-demand subjects, even if you're very experienced and even if you have high ratings. There aren't much bonuses when you meet some milestones. Sometimes you get a bonus of $10 after 3rd session but that's about it. Online tutors are all paid the same amount. I inquired about a raise after 1 year (and hundreds of hours) of tutoring, but was told that they won't increase the online session rates for me, only the in-person tutoring sessions, which I don't even do. So I was disappointed.
