Decent for supplemental income

Pros

Very flexible schedule and you can work from home. You can tutor using voice or by typing based on your preference, but you will get more students if you use voice.

Cons

Pay is less than you would make tutoring in person. The online "classroom" can have bugs at times. You have 10 seconds to respond to a student request before you lose them to another tutor so you must stare at your computer nonstop when working.

Good for what it is

Pros

Extremely easy to work from home and around your own schedule if you manage to snag the hours.

Cons

Can be quite difficult to get hours at the start. You really have to be ready to schedule the moment the new week opens up.

Pros

They get students to you. They provide software. You learn to operate in a dynamic setting, quickly changing focus.

Cons

There's a lot of points one could complain about and, instead of duplicating here, let me suggest perusing a few other reviews on glassdoor to get the idea. But I do dislike proposals of tutors to start organizing against tutor.com. If tutor.com breaks a law - fine, challenge it. But please stop whining about their policies, I assume they know why they have them in place. Move on if your cons so heavily outweigh the pros, or even better: start your own company and compete them out of business! I stayed for almost 2 years, got two promotions, got reasonable help from mentors, and learned a lot dealing with difficult students. Eventually it became clear that tutor.com's low pay makes this no longer worth my time, but that's a personal decision, in full respect to the opportunity tutor.com offered me.
