I’ve worked with NW for over two years now. I can’t say enough good things about them. In fact, I’ve even encouraged several of my friends to begin tutoring with NW. Prior to working for NW, I taught high school for ten years in both the city and suburbs. I received more support and professional development from NW than I ever did as a teacher. Aside from the great students you get to work with, what I truly love about NW is the small company feel and the idea that you the tutor really mean something to the company.
Cons
I admit the price they charge families seem high, but when you compare it to other tutoring companies it is on par. Also when you realize how many people are working to support each tutor and student match you can see where the money goes.
You get to work with students from the top of the class to the bottom of the barrel. Most are easy and fun to work with.
Cons
Tutors are very undervalued both in pay and respect. The company charges the family $100+ per hour and tutors less than a quarter of it. Where does it all go?
