Pros

StudyPoint offers a great curriculum that works, and trains tutors well. You set your own hours and territory, and they find you families to work for. The supports they offer to tutors are excellent, including a Program Manager who always has your back and an experienced tutor to answer questions you have when you're first starting out. Also, if you're qualified to tutor more than SAT and ACT prep, you get the opportunity to tutor other things -- which gives you a nice variety of tutoring experiences. Most of the families are excellent to work for. If you arrive prepared and are professional, they really appreciate you. Also, the company is very good to its employees. The work culture is excellent.

Cons

No pay for prep time. This is hardest when you're first starting as a tutor, because you have to invest a lot of time to learn the curriculum. It improves the longer you stay with the company, but every time the SAT or ACT changes, you have a lot of prep to do all over again.

Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience. Our Program Managers are the best in the business, as are our veteran tutor mentors. We have discussed at length how to help our team of tutors - especially tutors new to our curricula - feel confident going into each lesson. Our paid training is a benefit many other companies don't have. But that doesn't change the fact that prep time for each lesson can add up. I will work with our Academics Team on this more. Thanks for the input. -Greg Co-Founder & President

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.
