Pros

Good way to earn extra money if you need to work from home Many children are very appreciative You can choose your own hours. Software for using the site is sophisticated and helpful.

Cons

They cut all employee pay after I finally made it to Tutor 3, the highest paying tutors. This was a significant cut - not what certified teachers should be earning. Some mentors assigned to me were helpful, but a couple were very "nit-picky" and unrealistic. I was assigned as an essay tutor, although I didn't apply for it, and I told my superiors that I could do the editing (grammar, spelling, etc) but not the reference errors. My mentor kept counting this against me, and I was unable to get out of this subject and stick with others where I was more comfortable. I finally quit.

Pros

Flexible schedule, you can go online whenever you want and get paid a fixed rate for how many minutes each session is

Cons

You manually select your scheduled hours, but this ends up being a struggle with everyone trying to secure available hours all at once. Also, there's a very odd dichotomy with what management wants - They don't want you handing answers out as fast as possible, but they want sessions to be as fast as possible to the point where the student does not really have time to learn and be "tutored"

Pros

Flexibility, decently fast promotions, good students

Cons

Difficult to work with students where English is their second language. It takes a long time to figure out how to help them, so sometimes they get frustrated and leave a bad rating. No benefits, you are a contracter.
