Pros

Work from your computer, super flexible hours. This is really much better as a way to make extra money than as a primary job, but the pay is pretty good for the level of work and the convenience.

Cons

It's hard to list cons to something that I can't quite compare to anything else. I prefer tutoring in person, but I also prefer not leaving my house. As such, for people who excel in personal contact, this might not be the best choice.

Pros

It's a great way to make money in your spare time; you can log on as a "floating tutor" any time you are available, and you will get paid at the regular rate for any students you tutor. Also you can schedule times if you know that you will be free, and you will get paid at a "half-rate" during that time, even if no students come your way. They are pretty careful to keep you busy with students if you have actually scheduled the time!

Cons

It seems like the tutors can get blamed for things that are the students' fault. The student can write a bad review for you, even if it's the fault of the classroom software, or if the student just wanted a free quick answer (which Tutor.com policy forbids us to give); and that will drag down your overall "student rating." If the student rating falls too far you can get in trouble, and the management doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between problems that are caused by lazy/abusive students, or by the classroom software. Also, you can get in trouble for staying in a session too long, even if the student has brought you a really involved and multi-step problem, and has no idea how to even start it.

Pros

True work from home opportunity. Hours are what you decide they are. It is very easy to get work during the year by "floating", or logging on to the system during typical schoolwork hours (5:00 - 12:00)

Cons

Management expects an average of 4.2 rating from student. This can be very difficult when you are working with students who have no understanding of the subject matter.
