Tutoring for StudyPoint

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The staff personnel are engaging, supportive, knowledgeable and professional. I applied online and within one week, I was invited to have a phone interview. The interview process proceeded quickly and I entered the employ of StudyPoint. My first student assignment was given a few weeks after my hire date. This is my initial tutoring assignment and it has been most pleasant and rewarding. The program material is well designed and it is in concert with the SAT. As I assess the strengths /weaknesses of my student, as the tutor, I have latitude to adapt the lesson flow to my student. Witnessing my student's growth has been heart-warming.

Cons

Addition to the training material which would detail the homework - Part I, Part II, Part III and the adaptive provision.

Horrible Tutoring Company

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

None to my knowledge. The whole interview/training process was a huge waste of time.

Cons

* You can earn much more with other companies/freelancing. The pay is not competitive. * The training program is poorly organized. You have to watch videos that are very out of date and perform various exercises. They only pay you minimum wage for upto 5 hours of training, but it takes much longer. * It's been 3 months and I haven't got a single student to tutor. My references/resume is great for tutoring, so I have no idea what the issue is. * My point of contact takes forever to reply, so even after reaching out about this issue I haven't received a response.

I am so sorry your experience with us has not been a good one. Over the past 17 years we have taken pride in making this a great place to work as a tutor. If you would let me know what city you work in, I can take more specific action to improve. You can reach me at g.zumas@studypoint.com. Thank you, Greg President & Co-Founder

Solid, but needs Improvement

Recommend

Business Outlook

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.
