Tutor.com reviews

While some students were really great, others were terrible and despite attempting to help, they just give me bad reviews. Unfortunately with Tutor.com, reviews matter a lot and even when trying to talk with my mentor about what happened, all I received was indifference. My mentor was really no help at all throughout the entire time I was a tutor here, and if you have a tech problem or some conflict with scheduling, you're doomed! Attempting to talk to someone who knows what they are doing seems incredibly complicated with this company. In the end, I wasn't getting enough students to make the job worth my time. Depending on whether you could be at the computer at the right time on Friday afternoon, sometimes scheduling could be really easy or incredibly difficult. "Floating" didn't always help either since there were so few students who needed assistance in Spanish.

Leadership is a joke. You are assigned a mentor who provides you with periodic reviews, report card style, and they are extremely picky about your percentages. Accepted requests vs. denied requests. Many times you receive requests that are not in your subject area and they count against you in the end. Other times, the question is beyond the scope of what is offered. There is no mentoring to encourage promotions to higher tutor levels. Getting hours is also quite difficult and are gone pretty quickly.
