Pros

Decent hours if you work hard, but then they take advantage of that. Program managers can be great depending on the one you get.

Cons

Low pay for highly skilled tutors. Get sued if you quit due to low pay and then have only ONE client that is a non-test prep student. They want me to give them 50% of my wages for the next year, and 100% for the past 3 months! Even their lawyer said they were being unreasonable. They are trying to ruin the life of a person trying to make an honest living. BEWARE!

Pros

Incredible company. Not only do they care about the students and parents, but they also nurture their tutors and give them a plethora of tools and guidance to succeed. You can have as many hours as you can handle,

Cons

None to speak of, they're great.

Pros

Flexible schedule. Love working my students.

Cons

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. Best, Greg General Manager & Co-Founder
