Pros

Hourly wage is somewhat competitive. Once you get settled with your tutoring routine, there is limited oversight. The tutors themselves are motivated, knowledgeable, and hard working. Solidarity with other tutors has been a positive experience. UI is a beautiful demonstration of why education should not be privatized.

Cons

All administration and supervisors are remote. More often than not, administration is unresponsive to emails. However they are very quick to ask you to correct your timesheet if you exceed what they prescribed for you. Their "high-intensity tutoring" model seems effective at marketing, but has no substance. UI provides tutors bare minimum training and has little knowledge of what its end-user services are actually like. After they give you a shoebox of the cheapest, most basic classroom supplies they could find, they do not provide any materials or curriculum. They rely entirely on tutors to purchase whatever they need to teach students, and to figure out what and how to teach them. Amazingly, they expect tutors to follow their "high intensity" model. No benefits of any kind.

Pros

Few students per group, Slow pace and not demanding of test scores or data against you as they do with teachers.

Cons

The culture constantly changes because management is constantly changing. The morale is low because of the job insecurity. This company does not appreciate that instructors rely on their pay to live. Do not expect them give you a second contract. Do not pay vacation or holydays. They do not provide benefits. The company is run by incompetent people who have not clue what good leadership is. You will be placed in a school where you will be looked different by teachers since you are not a teacher at the school. Do not expect any support from the administrators in terms of students’ behavior. If one student complains about you, they will finish your contract. Do not expect them to listen to you as a tutor. Their training is horrible; they try to stuff you with so much information in one hour that you will not remember all of it. They will kill you requesting to enter all the things you do in each lesson in two different platforms. They do not tell you this at the beginning so you accept the job. In entire life I have experienced such an ordeal like this. I do not suggest working for this company, unless you are desperate. I was more happy my last day than my first day of work.
