Pros

Colleagues are very supportive and the work can be very rewarding at times.

Cons

No benefits, no pay for time spent on administrative tasks outside of tutoring sessions, and you may occasionally be directed to perform work-related duties during your free time. Students often cancel or have scheduled breaks/absences peppered throughout the semester, meaning that the pay is unstable and frequently varies week to week. There is very little student accountability (for excessive misbehavior), and the classroom environment at students’ schools is often very chaotic. You are expected to cover a LOT in daily 15 minute session; support staff are helpful and kind but can sometimes take a while to get back to you as an employee after you contact them. My impression of the company’s culture is that they are passionate, but they sometimes act as if this passion should excuse their dubious labor practices and lack of accountability for students and school partners.

Pros

*Many parings available *Lots of support from the administrative team *Training was intensive but thorough and there was a lot of support from the instructors.

Cons

*There is little time (90 seconds) between lessons/sessions if you have back to back students. But, you can always just limit your parings/availability and space them apart.

Pros

Great flexibility with your schedule. You can choose your own hours, and because students are fixed, you get the rewarding experience of working with the same individuals for the entire year.

Cons

The curriculum implementation is incredibly rigid. Management requires tutors to follow the provided script word-for-word and second-by-second, leaving zero room for personal teaching style or natural pacing.
