Pros

I left a large tech company to join InstaEDU because I really believe in the product and the mission of the company. We help connect students with tutors and provide affordable one-on-one help to high school and college students. The management structure is flat, communication and decision making is transparent. The company leadership is a group of really talented and incredibly smart Stanford grads. I am really excited to be part of the team here and work in such a tight-knit and collaborative environment.

Cons

As a start-up we have limited people-power and resources. This means that I have to constantly stretch myself to learn more skills and work slightly outside of my comfort zone. Overall, not really a con -- I am learning a lot, but it's definitely a challenging environment where everyone is constantly pushing themselves and growing.

Pros

1. Pay. $20/hr beats all other online tutoring companies 2. They have voice chat. That makes online tutoring much nicer. 3. Prompt pay. You tutor someone for an hour, they send $20 to your WePay account 1 day later. 4. Browser based classroom. No external software to download. Classroom is very nice too 5. Better caliber of student. When you do get a student, it's one who has been paying attention in class and participates in the session. Far unlike students who use other online tutoring services.

Cons

1. Suspiciously low session frequency. I get about 1 session per week, but I am logged on 3+ hours per night. That doesn't add up. 2. Students who have not purchased tutoring time have the ability to directly IM the tutors. This simply should not be. Most of these students want to be tutored for free, which defeats the purpose. 3. Unbelieveable claims by other tutors just to get more sessions. Most of InstaEDU's tutors are college students, yet they claim to be able to tutor 20+ subjects. It hurts the site's credibility. 4. A Facebook account is required to be a tutor. Makes InstaEdu look unprofessional.
