Pros
I wanted to find another part-time job that would allow me to stay at home and make a couple of extra bucks during the week. This job was just that. On top of that, I got some experience tutoring Spanish, which is a must with what I intend to do in the future. Some students are very gracious and thankful for your time.
Cons
While some students were really great, others were terrible and despite attempting to help, they just give me bad reviews. Unfortunately with Tutor.com, reviews matter a lot and even when trying to talk with my mentor about what happened, all I received was indifference. My mentor was really no help at all throughout the entire time I was a tutor here, and if you have a tech problem or some conflict with scheduling, you're doomed! Attempting to talk to someone who knows what they are doing seems incredibly complicated with this company. In the end, I wasn't getting enough students to make the job worth my time. Depending on whether you could be at the computer at the right time on Friday afternoon, sometimes scheduling could be really easy or incredibly difficult. "Floating" didn't always help either since there were so few students who needed assistance in Spanish.
