A Solid Choice for Tutoring - Tutor StudyPoint Employee Review

Pros

The flexibility of being able to make my own schedule. The pay is okay, not great, but I like not having to market myself for new students. Also, once you are experienced there are opportunities to grow within the company, be it taking a full-time role, becoming a mentor tutor, or interviewing potential tutors. StudyPoint also allows you to continue tutoring independently, which similar companies often do not allow.

Cons

Sometimes you may be asked to travel farther than you set up your area - if so you should ask for travel compensation. Tutoring availability can really depend on your area and the time of year - if you are in an area that StudyPoint doesn't have as much prevalence in you will have trouble getting students.

Thank you for the feedback! The opportunities for veteran tutors that you mentioned are definitely a benefit of tutoring for StudyPoint. Though we do our best to set appropriate expectations around hours, this can sometimes be challenging given the various factors that impact assignments (subject, location, scheduling needs, student's specific needs, etc.). It is helpful to hear that this should continue to be an area of focus. Keep up the great work! Best, Greg President & Co-Founder

Pros

Super-helpful and friendly staff. Every tutor has a manager/mentor. So, you know who to contact with any performance questions, or reviews

Cons

I was looking for a lot more students/hours per week than they were able to get for me. They do not have access to as many subjects (esp. college level) as some of the other online platforms. Focus is primarily high-school and placement test prep.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Love working my students.

Cons

Not compensated for work you’re required to do outside of sessions with students. Pay does not reflect your value to the company. When I left, I was in the top tier tutors. They billed me out to families at over 10 times the amount of my hourly pay. Despite my performance and refused from parents and student, my pay only went up maybe 2% per year after they changed from the more incentive -based pay structure. No support from corporate office and no opportunity for advancement.

Thank you for your feedback. We certainly want our tutors to feel valued and to enjoy their experience working with StudyPoint, so I’m sorry to hear you had these frustrations with the organization. Feedback like yours will be very helpful as we look to restructure our tutor compensation and evaluation/raise process. Regarding support for tutors, all tutors have access to our Tutor Resource library, a veteran tutor mentor, and their program manager. This past year we also hired a tutor manager whose role is specifically to provide ongoing support, training, and guidance to our team of tutors. It is our hope that, collectively, these resources provide tutors with a solid support system as they work with students. Regarding opportunities for advancement, we offer many of our tutors opportunities to work in other areas of the business, including mentoring other tutors, interviewing tutor candidates during the hiring process, conducting role plays during the training process, and developing curriculum materials. Additionally, several of our full-time staff members started with StudyPoint as tutors. That being said, there is always room for improvement, and we thank you for this feedback.
