Not too bad for a job you can do at home

Pros

The best part is being able to work from home (or anywhere you have Internet connection). It's a fairly easy job if you know the subject and when I started they had a lot of subjects to choose from. It's nice to be able to log on when you have free time but that doesn't mean you'll have a student.

Cons

If you tutor anywhere else you will most likely be paid more. I think you get paid less due to the convenience. The time limits can be ridiculous, some students need to spend additional time on a problem compared to others but you'll be criticized no matter what the reason is. You can do two sessions at one time and your pay increases by a small amount, I don't think it's worth the trouble to try tutoring two students at a time though. As a new tutor, I was never able to schedule hours, which means I only was able to float. If your a tutor 2 or 3, you can probably make a good amount of money by scheduling but it may take a while to get there. I don't think it's worth the time to get there.

Pros

flexible, work from home, provides some extra side income

Cons

* tutor "support" is sucky - they barely reply and if they do they're not in any hurry * it took THREE MONTHS for them to get their act together and mail my first check * my "mentor" nit picks to find something wrong and doesn't return my emails when i have questions for her * it's hard to get hours - I'm a tutor 1 and I'm limited to SIX hours a week (it's very hard to get decent hours, meaning not at 2-4AM, when you're a probationary tutor because they get the schedule last) * floating is useless, students go to scheduled tutors first * pay is affected by the ratings students give you, even if unfair or really bad for no reason (and they don't remove unfair ratings) * recommended to keep sessions to 21 minutes which is challenging and leaves students frustrated and wanting more from me but my mentor complains when I go longer than that
