      No real mentoring to encourage growth and very limited hours. Not worth it.

      Pros

      Work from home, students are engaged for the most part, Voice sessions not a requirement

      Cons

      Leadership is a joke. You are assigned a mentor who provides you with periodic reviews, report card style, and they are extremely picky about your percentages. Accepted requests vs. denied requests. Many times you receive requests that are not in your subject area and they count against you in the end. Other times, the question is beyond the scope of what is offered. There is no mentoring to encourage promotions to higher tutor levels. Getting hours is also quite difficult and are gone pretty quickly.

      I used to recommend this service to others, but no more . . . .

      Pros

      Flexible hours (WHEN you can get them). Always encouraged to "log on" and "float outside of scheduled hours; however, that does not work if one just has a short period of time and the session that one accepts is an unlimited session and the student has a 20+ page paper with numerous errors.

      Cons

      Micro-managing by people who have no idea of what actually goes on inside a session. The new management has taken this company down the wrong path; near the end of the semester, the servers (apparently) are not strong enough to keep everyone online and the tutor's rating suffers because of it. The students are allowed to "rate" the tutor based upon issues outside of the tutor's control. The influx of non-English speaking students is a real challenge. A review of "War and Peace" in a 22-minute session with a non-English speaking student who will provide a poor rating, at which time one will get a "ding" from management stating, "I realize this was a difficult session, but . . ." is just depressing and demoralizing. I totally agree with the mentor who posted earlier; she nailed it. Nobody in NYC cares -- it is tough economic times and they can get tutors as cheaply as they want.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, work from home. You have the opportunity to teach what you like and help others.

      Cons

      The pay is not very good, but at least you don't have to drive miles and meet with different strangers.
