Pros

I worked for Nurturing Wisdom for a year, and I only left because I moved away. This company is fantastic. What first struck me was that everyone in NW has been a tutor themselves at some point. I've worked for schools and companies before in which this was not the case, and it was certainly frustrating then to have bosses who didn't understand what it's like to teach, or even what teaching requires logistically. At NW, we were all on the same page. My supervisors knew what they were talking about and helped me improve as a tutor. They put the students first, since we want to teach ourselves out of a job, but they actually care about the tutors as well! That's rather unusual, in my experience. Tutoring with NW did not feel like a profit-focused endeavor but a process in which every party was treated as a human. Getting matched with students and preparing materials could not have been more convenient. There is a slight learning curve for some of NW's strategies, but once you get the hang of them they become intuitive.

Pros

I’ve worked with NW for over two years now. I can’t say enough good things about them. In fact, I’ve even encouraged several of my friends to begin tutoring with NW. Prior to working for NW, I taught high school for ten years in both the city and suburbs. I received more support and professional development from NW than I ever did as a teacher. Aside from the great students you get to work with, what I truly love about NW is the small company feel and the idea that you the tutor really mean something to the company.

Pros

Helpful orientation & training for any content or strategies you're unfamiliar with. Very kind and considerate supervisors who support you, the tutor, before demanding parents. Many admins are/were once tutors so they understand the struggles and have just about seen it all. Can work with some really nice, dedicated kids who continue to work hard even through difficult material. *This is most likely to be the case with students preparing for standardized tests.* Working with a great family totally makes the experience. Relaxed part-time schedule good for near-full-time income if you have the open schedule, or just some additional income if you don't.

Pros

Nurturing Wisdom was an absolutely amazing company to work for. I left to pursue my career as a classroom teacher, and I do not think I would be the teacher that I am today if it weren't for Nurturing Wisdom. I learned so many skills to customizing education to students that I am able to apply in my classroom. Among the numerous pros, I would include: -supportive staff focused on helping each team member grow -flexibility to create your own schedule -well-planned and research-based curriculum -all tutors and administrators focused on student success -numerous opportunities for growth within the company I would absolutely work for this company again!

Pros

I've worked with Nurturing Wisdom for three years as a tutor and one year as a tutoring coach, and it's a great company to work for. I'll talk here about my experiences as a tutor. One of the things that immediately struck me with Nurturing Wisdom was the amount of support they offer. From curriculum to materials, I never felt lost because I always had people backing me up. My first student was an ACT student, and when I looked at the ACT curriculum, I was a bit nervous because of how extensive it is. However, as soon as I got matched my coach reached out to me to set up a call to walk me through all of the lessons and materials I would need to use. After the call, I felt like I really understood how to effectively tutor the ACT using Nurturing Wisdom's methodologies and would be able to hit the ground running with my first student. I also really enjoyed having coaching sessions with my tutoring coach. I was able to ask her to model some lessons and techniques that I wanted to see how an experienced tutor would use. Another aspect of this support is the fact that tutoring directors set tutors up with students. I always felt like they chose students for me that were good personality matches, which made tutoring very enjoyable. Overall, I think this is a great company to tutor for. In addition to what I mentioned above, you get to manage your own schedule and travel, so it can be a very easy job to do when you have other commitments.
