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.

Poor materials, poor job of providing students, terrible salary

Pros

Involved, professional managers; paid "training", and they send you materials for free; also, it's nice that it's a W-2 situation and not a 1099 for tax purposes.

Cons

1. I was hired with the promise of quick raises after a certain number of hours. They consistently advertised on Craigslist for tutors in my market, but they didn't offer me a single student for about four months, and I tutor a wide variety of commonly requested subjects. 2. They don't give you the option of refusing a student; if they assign you the student, you're stuck with them. 3. You're expected to use materials that aren't very good - the critical reading passages are downright terrible. 4. The salary as a fraction of what the student pays is appalling; I made about 15% of what the students were paying. I stopped accepting students once I learned that. They also expect a lot of preparation and outside work, but they don't pay nearly enough to justify it.

I appreciate for your candid feedback. Thanks for recognizing that we consider our tutors W-2 employees instead of 1099 contractors, as that is a huge expense for us. We invest in our staff in this way to avoid the exact experience you mention, which is uncontrolled program quality. Companies that consider tutors contracts can't give them materials or train them. We believe that better student comes happen when you have a great tutor combined with great curricula. We do try to pay competitive tutor wages even with these added costs to us.
