TutaPoint.com Reviews

Pros

Working with different levels of students and being a great part of their learning process.

Cons

Not having enough ability to be able to be a persistent part of some students’ education life.

Pros

Let me first say that the other reviews must be talking about the old management, because the current management (Susanna and Sarah) is INCREDIBLE. They were always quick to respond (usually within minutes) to any calls, texts, or emails. They were super organized, always had my back in the case of any conflicts with parents, and genuinely cared about all the students. The job itself is very flexible. Some tutors only take a few hours, but you can get a lot if you want. I wanted as many hours as possible and was able to get up to 30 hours a week during peak season. I was signed up as a K-10 math (up to Alg 2 and geometry) and English tutor as well as elementary/middle science and social studies. Math seems to be the most in-demand subject, so I would recommend tutoring that if you need hours. Other things: you can pick your own hours, you can take sick days if you need to (they arrange substitutes), you work from home ofc which is nice! I tutored all PACyber students and they have renewed that contract, so there are plenty of kids! Should be even more for next year too. You get paid once a month. Note: to be successful, you need a computer with a webcam, a mic, and preferably a touchscreen (with a stylus). I already had a touchscreen laptop which was perfect and I just bought a cheap stylus.

Cons

The pay is mid-range for a tutoring company ($14) and it's a contract position so they don't withhold taxes or provide benefits. Since the rate doesn't seem to ever increase, you probably just want this as a interim/side job.

Pros

Helped Title I and other at-risk students to succeed at school and pass their classes. While other companies may pay their tutors more, this company really cares about their students and their tutors. They were very flexible if I needed to have an appointment or time off, and provided regular, daily support during sessions. The staff was very committed to helping students learn.

Cons

There are no cons - looking forward to working with them again next school year!

Pros

Work from home and flexible schedule. Once you’re completely cleared you’re pretty much guaranteed students that are scheduled for you as well as the ability to schedule private students for yourself from regular internet traffic. Staff is responsive and helpful.

Cons

The work is seasonal but as an education worker, you know that going into it.

Pros

Flexible scheduling. Convenient tutoring. Whiteboard is easy to use.

Cons

Strict for no reason. Could be hard to find students to tutor.

Pros

The pay is ok for online tutoring; not the best, not the worst. Can work from home.

Cons

They require you to always use video, even if the student is not. It's really awkward to have to have a camera on you when there's not even any other face to look at/talk to. You don't know where to look or how to react, since you don't know if the student is smiling, etc. There are few opportunities. I was set up with one student way below the age I usually tutor. I wasn't really sure how to tutor to that level/what to expect for kids that age. Also their mom was always there too listening in, which was weird.

Pros

Make your own hours, build your own profile, work from home.

Cons

Management was incompetent, sometimes non-communicative, and had unreasonable expectations.
