Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Tutor.com is the flexibility that you have in terms of when you want to work and how often you want to work. And, despite what time you want to tutor, there are bound to be students needing assistance. It's a great feeling when you help a student.

Cons

Some of the downsides include the time it takes to get a promotion. It requires quite a bit of a time investment as well as a performance review.

Pros

- Flexible scheduling One of the best elements of working with Tutor.com is the fact that when you work is completely at your discretion so long as you meet the weekly minimum. - Consistently respectful students The service works in such a way that the vast majority of students I've tutored are engaged, polite and ready to learn. There are outliers, and sometimes they can be exceptionally trying. Still, the service provides safeguards to ensure you have some recourse against disrespectful students.

Cons

- Feedback schedule Once leaving the probationary period, tutors receive feedback every 6 weeks (at best). More experienced educators may prefer this, but it can be a bit disorienting for people newer to the field. - Second job only The service is intended to provide second jobs and supplementary incomes to its tutors. That works well enough, but there seems to be little real advancement available beyond a higher hourly rate and optional mentor duties.

Pros

You tutor students one-on-one via an online classroom program. No voice or video, just instant messages and a whiteboard to write on. You have total control of your hours worked, and money earned gets directly deposited into your bank account. There's frequent feedback on the quality of your sessions, and promotions occur with good regularity. What can I say, it's nice to work from home.

Cons

The pay is not good compared to tutoring positions in person..they start off at about $10/hr..I've been tutoring for about 2 years and I'm up to $13/hr. But you don't need to drive to work or pay for food out, so that saves some money there. The only other downside I can think of is that taxes are not taken out of the paychecks (you get a 1099 form), so when tax time comes around you will have problems if you don't save up for it. Oh, and paychecks are monthly, which is rough if it's your only job.
