Tutor.com Math Tutor I reviews

There's a lot of points one could complain about and, instead of duplicating here, let me suggest perusing a few other reviews on glassdoor to get the idea. But I do dislike proposals of tutors to start organizing against tutor.com. If tutor.com breaks a law - fine, challenge it. But please stop whining about their policies, I assume they know why they have them in place. Move on if your cons so heavily outweigh the pros, or even better: start your own company and compete them out of business! I stayed for almost 2 years, got two promotions, got reasonable help from mentors, and learned a lot dealing with difficult students. Eventually it became clear that tutor.com's low pay makes this no longer worth my time, but that's a personal decision, in full respect to the opportunity tutor.com offered me.

Strict policies regarding session lengths (cannot work with a student longer than x number of minutes), acceptance percentages (must accept more than y% requests), x and y depend on the subject. Violations may result in warnings and terminations. Sometimes it is difficult to explain a concept or work on a problem and stay within limits. Certain questions may be outside the subject area but there is no clear rule to determine that. Bonuses and tutor employment depend heavily on student ratings some of which may be undeserved but cannot be removed. Some mentors are not so great and only concentrate on negative sides. Stress because of the above.
