Pros
flexible, work from home, provides some extra side income
Cons
* tutor "support" is sucky - they barely reply and if they do they're not in any hurry * it took THREE MONTHS for them to get their act together and mail my first check * my "mentor" nit picks to find something wrong and doesn't return my emails when i have questions for her * it's hard to get hours - I'm a tutor 1 and I'm limited to SIX hours a week (it's very hard to get decent hours, meaning not at 2-4AM, when you're a probationary tutor because they get the schedule last) * floating is useless, students go to scheduled tutors first * pay is affected by the ratings students give you, even if unfair or really bad for no reason (and they don't remove unfair ratings) * recommended to keep sessions to 21 minutes which is challenging and leaves students frustrated and wanting more from me but my mentor complains when I go longer than that
