Some Upsides But Mostly Downsides

Pros

1) Great flexibility in terms of scheduling 2) Usually the ability to get enough students to max out your ideal schedule. I was working upwards of 40 hours a week at some points. 3) The ability to increase pay for each student based on the number of sessions.

Cons

1) The materials they provide are awful and not faithful to the tests themselves 2) Support is tragically slow and is a black box 3) They will remove you from the platform without warning 4) The pay is generally below market at this point
