Pros

Convenience of tutoring on your own time at home or elsewhere, computer logs time so you get paid for every second you spend tutoring, easy to use interface that allows to draw diagrams and edit essays (I think there's even a coding interface for the computer science folks out there). Payment is consistent and transferred to bank account within 3-4 days so this is just an INCREDIBLY convenient tutoring company for tutors who don't like to travel to student's homes or have a unpredictable schedule.

Cons

Sometimes I can have the website open for hours but have no one request me for a tutoring session. Also, sometimes kids just want to you answer homework questions without paying (they don't have a credit card); you can choose not to tutor them though, which is great. Very few complaints. This company/tutoring opportunity is unique and convenient for both the students and the tutor.

Pros

1. Pay. $20/hr beats all other online tutoring companies 2. They have voice chat. That makes online tutoring much nicer. 3. Prompt pay. You tutor someone for an hour, they send $20 to your WePay account 1 day later. 4. Browser based classroom. No external software to download. Classroom is very nice too 5. Better caliber of student. When you do get a student, it's one who has been paying attention in class and participates in the session. Far unlike students who use other online tutoring services.

Cons

1. Suspiciously low session frequency. I get about 1 session per week, but I am logged on 3+ hours per night. That doesn't add up. 2. Students who have not purchased tutoring time have the ability to directly IM the tutors. This simply should not be. Most of these students want to be tutored for free, which defeats the purpose. 3. Unbelieveable claims by other tutors just to get more sessions. Most of InstaEDU's tutors are college students, yet they claim to be able to tutor 20+ subjects. It hurts the site's credibility. 4. A Facebook account is required to be a tutor. Makes InstaEdu look unprofessional.
