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

They make sure you are trained. They work with your schedule. The program managers are great to work with.

Cons

You can go a while with no students, then get slammed with a bunch. Also they've changed the review process for raises at least 3 times since I was hired.

I appreciate your feedback, both the pros and the cons. Our tutor managers will be glad to hear you appreciate their support. Please keep passing on your thoughts on the new tutor raise and evaluation system as we're trying to improve it for this summer's back-to-school season. Best, -Greg Co-Founder & President

Pros

You can turn your teaching role into a full time job if you want to (and have the drive/passion for it) - program managers are great about giving you as many student/programs (read: hours of work) as you'd like to take on. Curriculum is good, support from managers and directors is good. Online resources for students and instructors are easy to navigate. Any required training is paid. A lot of opportunities for growth - management encourages instructors to internally apply for full time management roles, experienced instructors regularly tapped to assist with creating training materials, training new instructors, updating curriculum materials, etc.

Cons

More transparency/clarity is necessary with the recent changes to the employee assessments (which impact your raises).
