Pros
Varsity Tutors is a great place to work for while in college. You work directly with the clients as far as scheduling goes, which makes it easy to schedule around your courses and other activities. Varsity Tutors pays a lot better than any on-campus tutoring jobs you will find and even compensates you if your client doesn't show up for a session.
Cons
You work as an independent contractor, so Varsity Tutors is not required to pay an employer's contribution to the Social Security tax, so you are on the hook for that, making your taxes a little higher than normal.
