Pros
Flexible hours. Good opportunity to work with students from a variety of backgrounds. Administrative staff that is generally responsive and thoughtful. Preparatory/training materials are sufficient to get you on your feet running.
Cons
Pay raise schedules keep changing. In the year that I've been working for StudyPoint, the system has changed at least twice. The effect of this is that I have not received several raises that I was promised at time of hire. This type of behavior is, frankly, infuriating. Considering prep time, travel time, uncompensated communications with parents and admins, tutors really are wildly undercompensated. Admins have a high rate of turn-around. As a result, building a positive relationship with your program manager is folly.
