More Students, Increase Pay

Pros

Studypoint does a lot of things very well. They have designed programs for test prep that include both homework sets and practice tests. The website they have designed for their students and tutors is wonderful. My program manager is understanding and easy to work for. It is a very rewarding and enjoyable job. They remove the aggravation of advertising yourself by finding you students.

Cons

Pay is relatively low once you factor in prep time, travel, parent consults, administrative work, etc. Starting pay is at $20 per hour; however after factoring in all of the above it decreases to around $12 per hour. ( The competition pays more!) Second issue is a lack of students. Currently I meet with two students for a total of 4 hrs per week. I'm sure I could get more students by expanding my service area; however the pay is much too low to be traveling more than 30 minutes one way to increase my workload.

A Solid Choice for Tutoring

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The flexibility of being able to make my own schedule. The pay is okay, not great, but I like not having to market myself for new students. Also, once you are experienced there are opportunities to grow within the company, be it taking a full-time role, becoming a mentor tutor, or interviewing potential tutors. StudyPoint also allows you to continue tutoring independently, which similar companies often do not allow.

Cons

Sometimes you may be asked to travel farther than you set up your area - if so you should ask for travel compensation. Tutoring availability can really depend on your area and the time of year - if you are in an area that StudyPoint doesn't have as much prevalence in you will have trouble getting students.

Thank you for the feedback! The opportunities for veteran tutors that you mentioned are definitely a benefit of tutoring for StudyPoint. Though we do our best to set appropriate expectations around hours, this can sometimes be challenging given the various factors that impact assignments (subject, location, scheduling needs, student's specific needs, etc.). It is helpful to hear that this should continue to be an area of focus. Keep up the great work! Best, Greg President & Co-Founder
