Tutor.com reviews

Pay is very low. One student's poor review based on you saying you will not solve for them, or encouraging them to try on their own can lower your tutoring average significantly. These same reviews are NOT looked over by monitors and are NEVER removed no matter how unjustified the review is. This sets up for an unfortunate dynamic between tutor and student, where the tutor is forced to go along with student wishes and demands for fear of a poor review. Its pretty sad.

- GOOD LUCK with getting scheduled hours according to your schedule or getting sessions when you have time. Most tutors are lucky to get 10 hours a week, except in peek times. - The company has pretty impossible standards, expecting you to do a great job but to not take any time doing it. - The company will try to screw you in every way possible for money. - Training consists of constantly being barraged by your mentor with critiques, as they cherry-pick your toughest sessions to complain about. - They have a lame mentorship program, which they use to essentially deny long-term employees promotions. They will constantly ask for nearly impossible numbers, and when you finally meet those, they will find something qualitative to use to deny you a promotion, and then furthermore, threaten you. - Many students will roulette through tutors until they can find someone who will do what they want, the way they want it. Expect plenty of early disconnects and rude behavour. - YOU have to pay the taxes for the job, as it is a contract job. - YOU have to pay for your internet, computer, and any other hardware. Furthermore, tutor.com will punish you if you have a bad internet connection that causes too much dcing etc.
