Pros

- Work from home or anywhere with a decent internet connection. - Can choose how many hours you work per week and it's fine to take a few weeks off every once in a while if you need to devote more time to your classes (I'm a college student, so this is nice when classes start getting tough). - I have a great mentor who gives me good/helpful assessments - Don't need to look for students to tutor or a place to meet; all of this is done online and handled by the tutor.com system

Cons

- Every session is recorded and reviewed by a mentor, which can get a bit bothersome. - Getting the scheduled hours you prefer for the next week is difficult. As soon as the schedule opens up, available hour slots are taken up very quickly...almost all gone by the next minute or two, unless it's an off-term period like winter or summer break. - Not really paid enough for the tutoring services you provide.

Stressful but work from home

Pros

I have enjoyed the ability to basically work from home for the past couple of months. It is easy to get hours in the middle of the semester and the direct deposit is very useful.

Cons

I dislike some of the students. Some of them rush you and continue to ask you for the answer. Then once you give them the answer they complain that you didn't teach them properly.

Rewarding in more ways than one!

Pros

I mainly float,which means that I don't schedule sessions, I just log on and tutor whichever students are sent my way. Tutoring is a great way to pick up some extra money without having to devote loads of time to it.The students are generally polite and have a basic understanding of the concepts, they just need some homework help, or someone to proofread an essay.

Cons

Students ca get rude, and sometimes come into the session essentially asking you to do the work for them and refusing to work with you. It can be very difficult to try to guide them through to find the answer themselves when this happens. Students will often also mislabel the topic of their session, so I've gotten sent students who needed help with an area that is out of my expertise.
