Tutor.com reviews

the last month I worked for tutor.com, I get 19 ratings of 5 (the highest raing) and only 3 ratings of 1 (the lowest). My total average rating is 4.2, which is the criteria to promote from probatory level to level I. But they terminate my work. I wrote email to the director and VP, no response. They just need someone to kiss their ass, not really want someone has knowledge and know tutoring.

Their business practice is incredibly shady. First off, they force tutors to become independant contractors UNLESS you are in the state of california. This summer they began to cut california tutors' hours. They did this with no warning. I personally think this is highly unethical. CA forces them to have proper employment practices yet they punish us for it? They also won't let us work more than 28 hours per week. This is clearly so they don't have to pay benefits. The thing that gets me is how ungranular the work process is. I'm one of the best tutors they have in my subject with consistent high ratings. I solve a lot of transfer questions that other tutors can't handle. Despite this all I get is a tiny promotion. I definately don't feel appreciated for the work I do, especially since I make more teaching in person (like 10X more)
