Pros

Working from home, create your own hours, no direct management. You can basically work however much you want, and do it from home.

Cons

Their pay is low, 30% of what a face to face tutor would make. The inherent deficiencies of online tutoring are maddening (speaking conveys more information faster than typing).

Pros

You tutor students one-on-one via an online classroom program. No voice or video, just instant messages and a whiteboard to write on. You have total control of your hours worked, and money earned gets directly deposited into your bank account. There's frequent feedback on the quality of your sessions, and promotions occur with good regularity. What can I say, it's nice to work from home.

Cons

The pay is not good compared to tutoring positions in person..they start off at about $10/hr..I've been tutoring for about 2 years and I'm up to $13/hr. But you don't need to drive to work or pay for food out, so that saves some money there. The only other downside I can think of is that taxes are not taken out of the paychecks (you get a 1099 form), so when tax time comes around you will have problems if you don't save up for it. Oh, and paychecks are monthly, which is rough if it's your only job.
