Pros

You "manage" your own schedule but your hours are unpredictable throughout the year. The students are a pleasure to work with but they all seem to be under a lot of pressure and stress, especially during covid. It is a for-profit company, and they take around 70 percent of what they charge parents.

Cons

Tutors are expected to complete all tutor prep and admin in a very limited amount of time and are not paid the same rate for any admin task, which is misleading because the job advertises that it pays $35 per hour. The company is way too top-heavy with inexperienced mid-managers so tutors come and go. The business model is outdated, and it isn't a place for real growth or a living wage. If you live in the Bay Area, this is a nice lifeboat but not a good place to advance a career in education.
