Pros
I’m so happy that I applied to work with iTutorGroup. I kept hearing amazing things about the company and the culture as well as the teaching experiences that I couldn’t pass the opportunity.
Cons
So many people want to be part of iTutorGroup, so you can sometimes feel pressured to push yourself.
Advice to Management
I would love to be invited to visit China someday like some other consultants. Happy 20th Anniversary iTutorGroup!

Pros

As it compares to other companies it pays less and is becoming less flexible. Consider companies like VIPKID and Magic ears before you settle with this company

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at iTutorGroup part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Work at home when you want to.
Cons
I agree, this company was a nightmare. Do not work for them. They do not take ownership for their mistakes. There are plenty other ESL platforms to work for. Do not work with ITutorgroup. They are the worst of the worst. You will be sorry.
Advice to Management
Your teachers matter not just your profits. You need good teachers to stay afloat.

Pros
1. Flexible schedule! You can easily customize your schedule around your life an full time job. Given plenty of notice, the schedulers are extremely helpful and willing to work with you!
2. Support! TutorABC offers countless opportunities for professional development that are designed to help consultants provide optimal customer service to obtain the highest possible ratings.
3. Pay! Yes, to start, the base pay is low. However, if a consultant works hard to provide high quality lessons to their students, then they will see their pay increase along with other opportunities to fatten their monthly income. I average $20-$22 an hour working from the comfort of my own home! Not a bad gig!
3. Easy! Look, students pay a premium for this service so if you smile and, again, teach high quality lessons, then this is EASY work!
5. Lessons! NO lesson plans! Yes, some of the lessons lack a bit of content but it is so easy to be creative to round out an excellent lesson with flashcards, props, and images from the provided image bank. All you need is some imagination!
6. Ratings! Easy to get with a few simple tricks: Smile, corrections on the white board, images, props, a fun and engaging attitude....its not that difficult! Yes, once and a while you will come across a student who can be a challenge and might give you a low rating out of spite. BUT these students are few and far between.Cons
None really if you understand and follow what TutorABC wants you to do. At times, there are minor cultural differences but that is to be expected and easily overcome.
Advice to Management
Personally, I would like to see a ratings challenge if/when a consultant receives a low rating due to a technical issue on their end. Other than that, this is a good company to work for if you need a flexible part time job.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at iTutorGroup part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Flexible schedule and potential to earn okay money for a "work-from-home" job.
Cons
Cultural sensitivity is a one way road but if you have good internet connection, a decent computer and just put your head down and do your work it shouldn't be a problem.
Advice to Management
I don't believe management cares about employee feedback. Especially non-Chinese employees. They are not bad. Don't get me wrong. It appears to be a cultural thing.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at iTutorGroup full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Flexible Schedules, Relaxed Environment, Friendly Support Staff
Cons
One-Sided Respect, Policy Changes Without Proper Updates, Poor Lesson Material If You Are Not A Priority Consultant, Recanted Pay
Advice to Management
Advise staff to be fair across the board. Do not give piss-poor material and wonder why the sessions cannot always be stretched to 45 minutes for one student, that is not able to communicate back. Stop being stingy with 25-minute sessions. You must pay employees for working, you can not change the rules as you go and then punish consultants for it.

Pros
You always feel like you make a difference and that you help students in some way. It’s the most rewarding part of being a consultant.
Cons
You have to work back to back sessions sometimes if you want to progress.

Host meet-ups with consultants and staff so we can all meet.

Pros
What makes this job especially good is the people you get to surround yourself with. When you surround yourself with the people at this company, you feel pushed to do a good job and perform well. It helps to have other people who are at the same level aiming to achieve great things.
Cons
It is busy. Your schedule can get packed and you may need to work late hours to accommodate the difference in time zones.
Advice to Management
Give us access to more in-person social events.
