Pros

Solid organization and a fair amount of work available. Friendly managers and ok materials.

Cons

For this field, the pay stinks. in addition they do not pay for travel, which would be fine with a high hourly, but that is not the case. They also do periodic overhauls of the study materials, which frequently have more mistakes post-overhaul. The managers don't seem to have as much test prep experience as the tutors.

I appreciate your thoughts. We are one of the few tutoring organizations that has a full-time curriculum development team, and I am proud of the great work they did recently on our revamped program for the New SAT. As a new program, there are always some edits that need to be done after the first printing, and we are working to get those done quickly. Our pay rates are competitive with our peers. In each city we serve, our tutor recruiters identify the 4-5 companies similar to ours - meaning tutors are employees not contractors, full-time customer service is offered, and curricula are provided - and we pay the same or a little more. Now, tutors can certainly make more money working on their own, but then you have to get your own clients, deal with billing, and find over-the-counter curricula that often lack online resources. We hope you'll stay with us and enjoy the main goal we share of helping kids create opportunities for themselves!! Best, Greg President & Co-Founder

Pros

I like the freedom to work with as many clients as I would like. The instructional books and resources tutors are given are such a huge asset. You feel like you're fully prepared to teach your area. My manager is wonderful and has been extremely supportive. I've met some wonderful families and kids through this program!

Cons

I think the pay is somewhat lacking. I'm a full-time teacher, and I normally charge 25 an hour to tutor my students (7th grade). I receive 19 an hour to teach ACT through StudyPoint. Although I understand they're finding my clients, and providing materials, I still feel a little short changed.

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that our materials are top notch as are our tutor managers. We do try to be competitive with our pay rates, but please let us know if you find other organizations of a similar caliber that pay more. Best, Greg President & Co-Founder

Pros

I appreciate the ability to set your own schedule and the level of independence generally. Good training materials. Friendly, supportive and very accessible managers.

Cons

I find the pay is low for the amount of prep and travel time (and mileage) that is involved. I have limited the distance I am willing to travel, but the trade-off is that I am assigned fewer students. If I were wanting to work more hours, the uncompensated travel would be a real problem.
