Reviews about "pay"
Return to all Reviews- Former Contractor, more than 1 year★★★★★
Would only recommend to college kids
Sep 6, 2022 - Academic TutorRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
-Easy to get clients -Platform is easy to use and navigate -Resources already available for lesson plans
Cons
-Very low pay (current is $15/hr for tutors with bachelor's degrees... that's ridiculously low) -No payment for prep time for lessons
- Current Contractor, less than 1 year★★★★★
Overall a great company for tutoring
Jan 13, 2015 - Certified Tutor in Naperville, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Create your own schedule - Students generally care about improving - Management is friendly and accommodating
Cons
- Compensation is a little low considering travel and preparation time (although VT pays better than many competitors) - Not much training
Continue reading - Current Contractor★★★★★
If you can tutor on your own, do that instead.
Dec 5, 2022 - TutorRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
-You have a lot of flexibility in setting your hours and deciding what to teach. -The in-lesson IT services are fantastic. -The employees at their call center are helpful and polite. -You can be picked up for the job even if you have very little experience (say because you're still a student),
Cons
-The pay is very low—honestly it's insultingly low considering how much they charge the students and their families. You are also not paid for preparation time. -If some kid is upset that you politely declined to help them cheat on their homework, they can one-star you and tank your tutor rating. They can also leave an untruthful and hurtful comment about you visible for any students or parents on Varsity Tutors to see—those comments are apparently completely unmoderated. Overall, I can't say I got the impression that Varsity Tutors values the expertise or experience of their tutors. I would not recommend working for them unless you have no other options.
- Current Contractor, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
seemed like opportunities were there on occasion, but not as much as I would like.
Cons
There just wasn't enough offerings to make this job worthwhile. I only got informed once every few months and the pay was always very low.
