Pros

Supervisors, everyone you work with is nice, students/parents were great. Don't require a lot of proof to prove you can do the job, but you had better be able to do it.

Cons

The hourly wage is worth nothing, because unless your schedule is totally clear and open, you'll have less than 3 students. I tutor quite literally every subject at every level plus two foreign languages. They will e-mail and ask if I will tutor students 45+ minutes away because I am the only one who can do that subject. Hell no. They don't compensate for drive time, and at 25 an hour, I'm making basically minimum wage for skills that are obviously desirable. It's not worth it if you're looking for a decent amount of extra money on the side because they obviously struggle to get clients.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I am sorry to hear that your experience wasn't better. There are a number of factors that impact the number of students a tutor will be assigned, including location, schedule/availability, experience, fit with potential students, etc. Given those factors, though we ask that our tutors have the availability to work with a minimum of 3 students, we can't guarantee a certain number of students, and we tell applicants that during the hiring process. However, it sounds like we could do even more to make that clear. Thank you again for your feedback. 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.
