Tutor.com reviews

- GOOD LUCK with getting scheduled hours according to your schedule or getting sessions when you have time. Most tutors are lucky to get 10 hours a week, except in peek times. - The company has pretty impossible standards, expecting you to do a great job but to not take any time doing it. - The company will try to screw you in every way possible for money. - Training consists of constantly being barraged by your mentor with critiques, as they cherry-pick your toughest sessions to complain about. - They have a lame mentorship program, which they use to essentially deny long-term employees promotions. They will constantly ask for nearly impossible numbers, and when you finally meet those, they will find something qualitative to use to deny you a promotion, and then furthermore, threaten you. - Many students will roulette through tutors until they can find someone who will do what they want, the way they want it. Expect plenty of early disconnects and rude behavour. - YOU have to pay the taxes for the job, as it is a contract job. - YOU have to pay for your internet, computer, and any other hardware. Furthermore, tutor.com will punish you if you have a bad internet connection that causes too much dcing etc.

If you tutor anywhere else you will most likely be paid more. I think you get paid less due to the convenience. The time limits can be ridiculous, some students need to spend additional time on a problem compared to others but you'll be criticized no matter what the reason is. You can do two sessions at one time and your pay increases by a small amount, I don't think it's worth the trouble to try tutoring two students at a time though. As a new tutor, I was never able to schedule hours, which means I only was able to float. If your a tutor 2 or 3, you can probably make a good amount of money by scheduling but it may take a while to get there. I don't think it's worth the time to get there.
