Pros

Kids can be nice to work with. Easy to get hired. Tutoring is done through online platform meaning that you don't have to create your own lesson plans. Company provides training.

Cons

Work is not as flexible as it seems. As a tutor you have to give four weeks notice before changing your availibility or going on holiday whilst you may be given a new member with one day's notice. I was also schedulued to work more hours than my contract. Poor communication within company. When giving cover you are often given very little information about a child, for example you often will not know how old they are until the session. Very poor pay, especially in relation to the amount of money parents are paying for the sessions. Rates for 11+ session and regular sessions are the same despite delivering 11+ sessions requiring more preparation. The platforms used for submitting timesheets and availability are difficult and often frustrating to use.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience working as a tutor with us. I'm pleased to hear that you have benefitted from the training provided and have found it useful that your lessons are planned for you. I will make sure to pass on your feedback to the relevant teams but please reach out to your manager to discuss your concerns if you haven't already. In particular, I would encourage you to speak to your manager about the number of hours you are working if this is an issue. Your contract states the minimum number of hours you can work, not the number of hours you will work, as tutors can work up to 20 hours a week if they want to, so please clarify your preference with your managers. Thank you for all that you contribute to Explore – all the best for your continued career with us!
