Pros

I love every aspect of my job! I get to work from home, my hours are relatively flexible, and my co-workers are wonderful and supportive. I worked as a teacher in supplemental education for many years, and I was simply burnt out from working one on one with kids. Varsity Tutors allows me to continue to help kids reach their academic goals without the exhaustion and regimented schedule of actually teaching. As a City-Wide Director I help match students with the perfect tutor who will help them succeed. The company is extremely well organized and constantly improving and growing. My team is made up of some of the most supportive and incredible people! I feel appreciated, trusted and supported in my job. I'm excited to start working every morning!

Cons

Sometimes it's tough to "turn it off" since I do work from home. However, I feel that this aspect has made me better at time management and personal goal-setting.

Pros

Varsity gives the tutors all the information about the student before hand and really helps you along the process of finding students in your area to tutor. They are also very fast with responses via email and other methods (i have never had to wait more that 24 hrs for a reply).

Cons

I do not honestly have an complaints, this is a part time job for me and I have really enjoyed my experience with them and the students that I tutor.

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.
