Pros
Overall, StudyPoint is a company that is committed to becoming better. Since I started working with them in 2013, they have made several improvements that benefit clients and staff. In the almost 3 years that I have worked at Studypoint, they have made direct deposit available to all tutors, have provided continual trainings, and have re-vamped and updated program materials. They have also raised the bar on expectations of tutors, in order to provide a better product to students and families. Generally, I think the following is true of the company: -Great program managers -Good support staff -Solid trainings
Cons
There are a few things that make working at StudyPoint a bit challenging: -You are not able to screen or veto prospective students. I understand the challenges, since part of the sale is the specific tutor, but there are sometimes outstanding issues or last minute life changes that affect one's ability to serve a student well -Lack of compensation for mileage and time in a car. While we can set up our radius where we are willing to tutor, traffic, fluctuating gas prices, etc. make this a huge drain on profits. -Pay is not commensurate with how much StudyPoint charges and with how much work a tutor has to do. I think this is most true for academic tutoring, where the tutor has to lesson prep, print materials, buy books, etc. without compensation.
