Svantaggi
Used to be good when we could pick/apply to clients ourselves on the availability page, but that has been removed. I have been told that if I filled out my availability, I will be contacted with students to tutor. I did this but did not receive any contact for new students. Pay for tutors is 13 pound an hour, but students pay 28+ pounds an hour. I wonder where the rest of the money is going and why tutors get paid less than 50%. The GoStudent system on which lessons are held is not good, it glitches all the time and hardly works properly (used to use Zoom which is so much better), and this hinders lesson quality and wastes precious learning time. Communication between the "managers" and tutors is poor. One of my students went over 1 month without any lessons because the system wouldn't let her update her credits and when her credits were finally updated the manager transferred her to another tutor without informing me?? In conclusion, used to be a really good tutoring platform around 1-2 years ago, not so much anymore.
