Vantaggi

The tutor interface is easy to use, and you can track the progress of your ACT & SAT students. Depending where you are located, you could potentially receive a lot of students. The curriculum is easy to get the hang of, and the manuals provide a sample course outline that you can basically follow and expect to finish the program on time. They update their curriculums and provide the necessary training (which is paid at minimum wage for your state of residence). Lastly, hours are flexible, and if you feel that you've taken on enough students, you can update your status to let them know you don't want additional referrals.

Svantaggi

There is no travel compensation, but tutors are expected to drive up to 30 minutes for a lesson. 30 minutes can turn into over an hour drive each way depending on traffic, especially since most students are high schoolers and will need to be tutored in the late afternoon or early evening. For tutors, expect to pay a chunk of your hourly wages on travel-related expenses. You can pick a location radius for tutoring availability, but if you set it too small, then don't expect many students. Lastly, expect to do a fair amount of unpaid work from home, including communicating with the students and their families, writing notes, and general lesson prep. As with any tutoring company, tutors are independent contractors and are not eligible for benefits.

Vantaggi

Super-helpful and friendly staff. Every tutor has a manager/mentor. So, you know who to contact with any performance questions, or reviews

Svantaggi

I was looking for a lot more students/hours per week than they were able to get for me. They do not have access to as many subjects (esp. college level) as some of the other online platforms. Focus is primarily high-school and placement test prep.

Vantaggi

Flexible schedule. Love working my students.

Svantaggi

Not compensated for work you’re required to do outside of sessions with students. Pay does not reflect your value to the company. When I left, I was in the top tier tutors. They billed me out to families at over 10 times the amount of my hourly pay. Despite my performance and refused from parents and student, my pay only went up maybe 2% per year after they changed from the more incentive -based pay structure. No support from corporate office and no opportunity for advancement.

Thank you for your feedback. We certainly want our tutors to feel valued and to enjoy their experience working with StudyPoint, so I’m sorry to hear you had these frustrations with the organization. Feedback like yours will be very helpful as we look to restructure our tutor compensation and evaluation/raise process. Regarding support for tutors, all tutors have access to our Tutor Resource library, a veteran tutor mentor, and their program manager. This past year we also hired a tutor manager whose role is specifically to provide ongoing support, training, and guidance to our team of tutors. It is our hope that, collectively, these resources provide tutors with a solid support system as they work with students. Regarding opportunities for advancement, we offer many of our tutors opportunities to work in other areas of the business, including mentoring other tutors, interviewing tutor candidates during the hiring process, conducting role plays during the training process, and developing curriculum materials. Additionally, several of our full-time staff members started with StudyPoint as tutors. That being said, there is always room for improvement, and we thank you for this feedback.
