Pros

Flexible hours That's about it

Cons

Capped at 2 hours a day Isolated from all other tutors Underpaid Students are disrespectful - you're not paid enough to babysit the college students that demand you solve all their problems Unreasonable expectations from management - from the tutoring time limits to the invasions of privacy

Pros

-The hours were flexible -Some of the staff was nice/helpful -Working with students is great -You get to meet other people in the online groups talking about how awful the place is that will really open your eyes

Cons

-The hours were scarce -A lot of the staff were god awful, like Hillary who will just randomly decide that you're in trouble one day because she's given power with zero oversight or way for employees to reach above her. -Mentor lottery means you can get a great one or one thats assigned to you with the intent to make you quit. -Programs are awful -The rules shift all the time for no reason -the penny pinching is terrible as well -You get in trouble if you teach a student who clearly is getting it and/or clearly intelligent as much as they can handle. I got in trouble for doing too much with someone who came to have their DOCTORAL THESIS reviewed. You're supposed to treat the kids like they're actually mentally handicapped. Its disrespectful to them, their time, their money and their dignity. -The amount of faked feedback here by the company is incredible. Every single employee with a detailed review of their experience mentions the bad pay and other things then you randomly get 5 stars "Great place to work" reviews. Its blatant as day ballot box stuffing. Yes, you read it here first: Tutor is a great place to work. .....at least, that is according to all the dead people in Chicago that voted in most of the elections of the 19th century.

Pros

- Easy-to-use platform - Jump on and see who needs help - Easy scheduling - Mentor for questions

Cons

- Notification sound that a student is ready to connect will give you a heartattack - You have a small window to connect which can be stressful

Pros

Flexible, Good pay compared to most other tutoring services. Organized payroll. Lots of work during regular school year.

Cons

A lot of overhead you don't get paid for. They send you messages from QC about complaining students that they make you read but don't pay you for. About 10-20% of sessions, have some bug where it tries to connects for a minute than exits. You are waiting but never get paid. Not so much work during low School vacations but that is the same with all tutoring services. . You have to make a schedule irregular hours in EST no matter where you live. It's not integrated with any online calendars making it difficult to track. They have long standing bugs they never fix which make students mad and and make it almost impossible to earn the higher performance bonuses. Company limits tutors to 2 to 3 hours work hours per day if you live in most states because they are afraid of State Labor laws.

Pros

The platform takes the work out of finding students. Time commitment is flexible.

Cons

Hours may not be available when you choose. Some mentors can be nit-picky.
