Pros

I love working at home whenever I feel up to it. I am disabled and setting my own schedule is very important to me and makes my life a lot better. 90-95% of my students have been pleasant and made my job easy, although you occasionally get stinkers. I have a fantastic mentor (who I suppose would be my supervisor) and she gives great feedback and is always available to me.

Cons

The system only works on Macs and sometimes won't connect if you're on a weak connection. The pay isn't great (but if you're like me and have only ever earned that much in your life, it's not annoying). The checks only come once a month and I wish it was twice.

Pros

Flexible hours, work at home, set your own hours. This is great work for when you want to sit back and relax one night. I sometimes tutor while a repeat episode of a show is on - that way if a student shows up, I don't mind missing out. It's a good job if you just want to make a few extra bucks.

Cons

Low payment (my salary is 14-16$/hour). When I tutor in person, I charge anywhere between 40-60$. I joined 7 years ago and was very active in the first 2 years (about 20-40 hours a week). At one point, I had met all the criteria for a promotion for the next tutor status (hours, tutoring sessions, and rating) but they emailed me and said "yes you have met it but currently we are not promoting any tutor" for whatever the reason. So for the past 5 years, I have only been tutoring here an there about 3 hours a month.

Pros

Lots of flexibility in picking hours, most of the "mentors" are friendly and helpful. The kids are generally nice, and the pay is decent (varies based on the subjects you teach and time working with them) Upper level Math and Science are definitiely in higher demand and better compensated.

Cons

Not a lot of hours available if you tutor humanities and lower level subjects
