Learning, growing and supporting dreams - International Admissions Consultant American Study Employee Review

Flexibility Remote work Helping students

Consistency in work availability varies

The students who show up to sessions are amazing writers with a drive to succeed. They were the good part of this job--helping them.

This employer should be tagged for exploitation. From day one, the employee must make so many concessions. You receive no training (and if you ask questions, such as "What all will I be teaching?" or "How many students will I have," you are told that these were all covered in your short interview. They assure you, also, at the interview, that no-show students are not a problem. In fact, this is a huge problem. I was promised a lot of hours and had to work at 2 am most days, with long gaps in between tutoriung sessions. Students were frequently no-shows, and I was no paid for my time spent waiting for them to show. The docunments you are given to edit often are not properly labeled, and if you ask, for example, which to edit, it takes 12 hours to get a resoponse, yet every single thing they send you is stamped URGENT. The pay is terrible, the hours awful, and after waiting EIGHT WEEKS for my paycheck, it was of course incorrect and I had to spend more unpaid time straightening this out. Be advised to avoid this employer, and if you do work for them, to be ready to train yourself, work as many unpaid hours as paid hours, and be given far fewer hours than you were told when interviewing. Who can support themself ion 7 hours a week?
