Pros

They do pay well per hour and pay includes planning time, travel time and extra for extra education. I actually enjoyed it very much when I had hours...of course you have rough students but I really enjoyed working with most of my students. And the one on one aspect of tutoring is very nice.

Cons

I have a very flexible schedule and can tutor many subjects but they just have no work. They charge families or non profits very high hourly fees...I know that is how we get good salaries but it's excessive. You need to either communicate with families when they contact you or get in touch with them and work out your plan and report it and many families opt not to start. Families also use the service for a month or less and then cut it. So it ends up being a lot of unpaid work to get miminal hours.

Pros

I was able to pick my own hours and it was pleasant to work with students/adult learners who were motivated to learn in the study rooms of libraries. The company pays a little more for students who are far away 25+ miles.

Cons

On the company, I have gone several months at a time without having any clients, but pay came in on time. I just wish they would update their UI. As for students, some came late, cancelled with less than two hours notice, were very unmotivated, or unprepared for sessions. I also often asked for a course syllabus/description/textbook, and rarely would any parent or student provide that to me, which made preparation for the science sessions a headache. Some students also needed either longer sessions or more self-study, but their parents did not really push any of the additional work or studying. It also became hard to explain how given that the student was already floundering prior to tutoring and doesn't understand the content currently, the cannot simply catch up with one hour of tutoring a week.
