Tutor.com Reviews

Pros

I've only been working with them for a few months, but there is definitely a few pros. The hours are extremely flexible, you schedule your own or you can float (but you don't get paid for the waiting time when you float). It's also a very rewarding job since you are helping people. For your first few months, you also work with a mentor that will basically instruct you on your approach and offer some tips.

I would pretty much recommend this job to someone who wants to earn extra money on the side or to a college student

Advice to Management

My biggest advice to management is talking to your tutors a little bit more to understand any issues that they may have. And also, maybe even communicating with the students as well. I feel like a lot of them don't really understand the process that you try and teach us, and it makes the session a lot harder than it would need to be.

Pros

Working at Tutor.com is a truly rewarding experience. It is a great way to give back to the community and foster the educational growth of the next generation. The hours are very flexible, so this is a great side job, and I would definitely recommend it for college students.

Pros

Cohesive and dedicated team working hard to advance the mission of democratizing access to quality tutoring.

Pros

Easy fast cash, reliable, set own hours

Pros

This job is extremely relaxed and pretty easy to do. The hiring process is fairly straightforward, and you get to work from home! I tutor STEM subjects so my pay ranges from $15-$17 a hour depending on subject. Honestly it is a really great job to have to supplement income, demands are low, and most of the people I have interacted with "mentors" are pretty nice, with the ones that are unresponsive getting let go pretty quickly.

Advice to Management

Change how hours are signed up for so it doesn't feel like you win the lottery every time you either get hours or don't get ones that are at 4 in the morning.

Pros

Flexible work times, including nights and weekends.

Advice to Management

Set up a scheduling algorithm.

Pros

Work from home. Professional and courteous management team. Set your own schedule. Great mentoring program for new tutors. Quickly advance if you desire to do so. Seeks feedback from tutors and mentors and actually works to improve the experience for the student and tutor.

Advice to Management

Make pay commensurate with experience and subject being taught. Some math areas have low pay when they are actually difficult subjects to tutor. Pre-calculus for instance. Continue to seek feedback from your tutors and follow up on that feedback!

Pros

-Flexible Hours
-Can tutor from home
-Staff is nice and very helpful

Pros

Flexible schedule
Nice and useful mentor

Advice to Management

The regulations in language use should not just be put on tutors, it should also be applied to customers. Tutors are human beings, not answer machines. I hope the tutorial for students should emphasize that. Also, some students insisted asking me questions like how to use the tutor.com software or some unrelated questions. I know I could just leave without giving an answer as it was not my responsibility. However, tutor.com has a strict student rating system. Leaving without answers would lead to low rating. And sometimes when no other tutors were available, the same student would be connected to me again and again. If I refused, my absence rate would be high, also I would get a warning for that. But if I did answer, the student would either be very rude or leave and rate me low again. Either way, tutors are responsible for the loss. The system should not connect the same student and tutor twice in a row. Simple as that.

Pros

Flexible hours you can choose the time you want to stare at your computer.
