StudyPoint reviews about "pay"

Expected to have 6 hours of availability weekly which can be difficult if you have a full-time job or limited evening/weekend availability, but some program managers are willing to work with you on that so it's not a major problem.

Not compensated for work you’re required to do outside of sessions with students. Pay does not reflect your value to the company. When I left, I was in the top tier tutors. They billed me out to families at over 10 times the amount of my hourly pay. Despite my performance and refused from parents and student, my pay only went up maybe 2% per year after they changed from the more incentive -based pay structure. No support from corporate office and no opportunity for advancement.

-Extremely low pay ($18-23/hour to start), especially considering tutors are not compensated for travel time and gas costs. Presumably this is because of the costs of marketing, maintaining a support staff, and hiring programmers to build the tutor portal. But considering that all of the overhead and logistical costs are pushed onto the families and the tutors, there is no excuse for StudyPoint to pay so little. Even most of the staff I've spoken with are contractors who work from home, so StudyPoint has streamlined their costs as much as humanly possible and still can't afford to pay tutors a decent wage. They say you can write off gas costs on your taxes as a business expense, but, again, they're just pushing the cost onto someone else. I find it ridiculous that someone in the other review would say that clients pay "top dollar" -Onboarding takes forever, with the 11-hour training, full-length test, additional phone calls with managers, and convoluted payroll signup. I came into StudyPoint as an experienced freelance tutor (300+ hours completed.) I was curious what it would be like to work for a company, and was finding it difficult to find clients on my own at the time. But I can tell you right now that this is NOT a company for experienced and capable tutors. If don't have your BA yet and need some work in the summer, it's fine. But if you have any tutoring experience, a degree from a decent school, and can set up a basic profile for yourself, you are better off either looking for freelance jobs online (WyZant, Care.com, or even Craigslist) and putting together a roster of clients, or working for a smaller educational company that has higher hiring standards but will pay $35-40/hour.

Super low pay; they charge $80/hr for my services and I receive $15/hr

Pay could be better for part-time

Very low pay, lack of communication, lack of students being assigned timely.

Pay is not great. Salary increases occur too rarely given the amount of hours one can put in in a year. Also, tutors are promoted with a cost of $100 or more per hour, but really, tutors may be paid less than 20% of that amount. Makes the company appear to not have integrity.

I wish the platform was Apple compatible.
