Pros

Great co-workers, very nice and supportive but it doesn't take long (first week) before they start complaining about management and the owners in front of you.

Cons

The two owners are not aligned and they each pull employees in opposing directions- stressing everyone out. You will work way more hours than you are paid for and they will low ball you on your commission every step of the way. The owners are scared of change and not willing to invest in tech that would bring the company up to date. I speculate that they will be out of business soon as their competitors seem to be taking over.

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.
