Pros

I've worked with Nurturing Wisdom for three years as a tutor and one year as a tutoring coach, and it's a great company to work for. I'll talk here about my experiences as a tutor. One of the things that immediately struck me with Nurturing Wisdom was the amount of support they offer. From curriculum to materials, I never felt lost because I always had people backing me up. My first student was an ACT student, and when I looked at the ACT curriculum, I was a bit nervous because of how extensive it is. However, as soon as I got matched my coach reached out to me to set up a call to walk me through all of the lessons and materials I would need to use. After the call, I felt like I really understood how to effectively tutor the ACT using Nurturing Wisdom's methodologies and would be able to hit the ground running with my first student. I also really enjoyed having coaching sessions with my tutoring coach. I was able to ask her to model some lessons and techniques that I wanted to see how an experienced tutor would use. Another aspect of this support is the fact that tutoring directors set tutors up with students. I always felt like they chose students for me that were good personality matches, which made tutoring very enjoyable. Overall, I think this is a great company to tutor for. In addition to what I mentioned above, you get to manage your own schedule and travel, so it can be a very easy job to do when you have other commitments.

Cons

I mentioned in the pros that you can manage your own schedule and travel, but this can be a bit o a double edged sword. If you're not careful about looking ahead and seeing where you're travelling and when your students are finishing up in each area, you can end up in situations where you are travelling far for only one student. Also, when I first started the outside of tutoring work (reports, etc . . .) was a bit much, but I know that NW is working actively to streamline these processes.

Pros

Helpful orientation & training for any content or strategies you're unfamiliar with. Very kind and considerate supervisors who support you, the tutor, before demanding parents. Many admins are/were once tutors so they understand the struggles and have just about seen it all. Can work with some really nice, dedicated kids who continue to work hard even through difficult material. *This is most likely to be the case with students preparing for standardized tests.* Working with a great family totally makes the experience. Relaxed part-time schedule good for near-full-time income if you have the open schedule, or just some additional income if you don't.

Cons

Families can be demanding. This is definitely not a knock on the company; just as a tutoring service, you're bound to encounter parents who become frustrated/impatient if their student isn't improving as quickly as they would like. I recommend establishing early on that YOU are the professional and YOU know how to improve student success.
