Pros

Great pay for part-time work, make your own schedule, no one is breathing down your throat and micromanaging you, relatively easy work

Cons

The only downside I really see is not being compensated for any work that is done outside of a tutoring session. Its not a TON of extra work, but significant enough that it is a bit bothersome to not get paid for. I get it, with sessions you can verify the work has been done but with the prep work it isn't as easy to make sure people aren't taking advantage. However, between emails and calls to parents and session prep it does add up.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Love working my students.

Cons

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We certainly want our tutors to feel valued and to enjoy their experience working with StudyPoint, so I’m sorry to hear you had these frustrations with the organization. Feedback like yours will be very helpful as we look to restructure our tutor compensation and evaluation/raise process. Regarding support for tutors, all tutors have access to our Tutor Resource library, a veteran tutor mentor, and their program manager. This past year we also hired a tutor manager whose role is specifically to provide ongoing support, training, and guidance to our team of tutors. It is our hope that, collectively, these resources provide tutors with a solid support system as they work with students. Regarding opportunities for advancement, we offer many of our tutors opportunities to work in other areas of the business, including mentoring other tutors, interviewing tutor candidates during the hiring process, conducting role plays during the training process, and developing curriculum materials. Additionally, several of our full-time staff members started with StudyPoint as tutors. That being said, there is always room for improvement, and we thank you for this feedback. Best, Greg General Manager & Co-Founder

Pros

Great students, materials, and opportunity to set a somewhat flexible schedule. Great part-time- very part-time opportunity.

Cons

Uncommunicative area managers, families can derail your career if they misread or read into something you've said and post negative feedback. You are basically left on your own to figure it out after the training and if you don't -they will ditch you.

Pros

Good training, online, with helpful materials from the company and beyond. Very helpful program managers with positive, friendly attitudes. Never afraid to ask questions or voice concerns. Great job for someone with a college degree who needs to make a little extra money and needs a flexible schedule! Great hourly pay and good students/families. So much flexibility!

Cons

I would have liked to be assigned more students, but unfortunately I never was able to tutor more than 6-8 hours a week. Not a lot of room to grow within the company.

We appreciate the feedback! There are a number of factors that impact how many assignments and hours a tutor receives (subject, location, schedule, student's needs, etc.). I will share this feedback with our recruiting team so we can set appropriate expectations with tutors. Thanks! Best, Greg President & Co-Founder

Pros

Studypoint is a wonderful organization with excellent support for tutors and families. We get to provide individualized one-to-one tutoring for awesome kids and develop really meaningful relationships with families. The pay is great and scheduling is extremely flexible. Raises are merit-based and frequent. I decide how many students I want and I work directly with students and their families to schedule our lessons. Managers are supportive and feedback is always honest and constructive. One of the best jobs I've ever had.

Cons

None. It really is an awesome job.

Great Tutoring Company

Pros

Very flexible schedule, materials are provided and the curriculum is easy to follow, staff is very kind, tutoring online can be done with or without video. Overall, everything is smooth and streamlined.

Cons

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.

Low pay, no clients.

Pros

Supervisors, everyone you work with is nice, students/parents were great. Don't require a lot of proof to prove you can do the job, but you had better be able to do it.

Cons

The hourly wage is worth nothing, because unless your schedule is totally clear and open, you'll have less than 3 students. I tutor quite literally every subject at every level plus two foreign languages. They will e-mail and ask if I will tutor students 45+ minutes away because I am the only one who can do that subject. Hell no. They don't compensate for drive time, and at 25 an hour, I'm making basically minimum wage for skills that are obviously desirable. It's not worth it if you're looking for a decent amount of extra money on the side because they obviously struggle to get clients.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I am sorry to hear that your experience wasn't better. There are a number of factors that impact the number of students a tutor will be assigned, including location, schedule/availability, experience, fit with potential students, etc. Given those factors, though we ask that our tutors have the availability to work with a minimum of 3 students, we can't guarantee a certain number of students, and we tell applicants that during the hiring process. However, it sounds like we could do even more to make that clear. Thank you again for your feedback. Best, Greg President & Co-Founder
