Pros

"Make your own hours", flexibility, direct and timely feedback from a session reviewer

Cons

very little money, interface is bad, too many tutors for available work (saturated), no room for growth. I tutored for them when I need to supplement income and am currently inactive (need to re-certify to tutor again - a brief process), but the amount of paid work is very limited. You sit around to wait for students to ask for help and only get paid for time spent tutoring. There are maximum and minimum durations for tutoring which need to be abided by (if your sessions trend too long or too short, it is noted in your profile). This company makes the CEO and full-time platform employees tons of money. The tutors themselves make almost nothing. There are many other online tutoring platforms with better pay, better interface, etc. I suggest you tutor for those instead.

Pros

The students are usually nice. Work from home.

Cons

There is no appreciation of employees. They give badges instead of raises. Don't be fooled by the $22 per hour posts. They do not pay that much for most tutoring. Most work is under $20/hr. The job that pays $22/hr is horrible according to most tutors. There is twice as much unpaid work involved compared with regular tutoring. This is not a job that pays a living wage. If you think you can stick out a low wage for a few years and then get a better wage from them, think again. They never give raises. The piddly 50 cents in January is not a raise. It is simply based on the minimum wage going up. It's an insult. If you think you can gain experience and then move on to another job think again. They don't give recommendations either. I hate working for this company. They have repeatedly tried (unsuccessfully) to get me to work without pay for things like training and meetings when they only pay min. wage even when they do pay. If they had their way, they would send all jobs to India, but their contract with the DOD is holding them back. This company is owned by the Chinese. Don't expect fair wages. I have to work more than 40 hours a week to get paid for 25 of them. Work-from-home jobs do not pay well, so keep that in mind when you are thinking about the benefits of working at home.
