Pros
- Completely remote - Uses Slack to communicate and everyone is friendly - Flexible hours - Offers growth within the company
Cons
- Can get overwhelming during the school year. You'll be tutoring 2-3 students at a time (sometimes more) with very little downtime. - Constantly typing and responding to students for the entire shift. - Not a lot of hours in the summer. Currently getting about 4-5 hrs a week. This is obviously unavoidable as most students are on summer break. - Some students can be young and frustrating to deal with. Some are rude, some are just looking for answers, others struggle with very basic concepts while extremely disengaged. Some students are a pure pleasure to tutor and I do try my best to help them! - The previous point wouldn't be so bad if they paid more than $15/hr. Seriously? We're supposed to be "experts" in our tutoring subjects attempting to help educate the young minds of tomorrow but they can't even bother to pay at least $20/hr considering the cost of living these days?
