Pros

The scheduling is flexible and accommodating to college students. The work itself isn't mentally taxing once you memorize the answer keys. It’s a low-stress way to earn some extra cash.

Cons

The work is repetitive, which can get boring over time. There is no real career growth as a tutor, and you need strong people skills to manage both the kids and their parents.
