Pros

The company are very responsive and supportive. There are weekly tutor support sessions, they give you a personalised report of your lessons every month with helpful feedback and they help with contacting unresponsive parents.

Cons

The pay sometimes falls a bit short compared to the effort one has to put in for their students, including admin (personalised student reports after every lesson, marking attendance, calling/emailing parents to book/re-arrange sessions), marking, lesson prep, creating personalised resources, etc. They do have some extra learning materials to help but to effectively personalise lessons for each student, a lot of extra work is required. Parents can either choose a 20, 40 or 60-minute timeslot for their child's weekly sessions. They frequently choose 40-minute time slots. There have also been some issues with receiving payment on time.

Pros

* almost all of the students I've worked with have been hard-working and motivated * weekly payment is on time and consistent * not a lot of micromanaging of lessons - you create your own lessons and teach in your own style

Cons

* allocation process of getting students is antiquated and seems as if some tutors are favoured over others * communication is spotty - you are encouraged to use group emails and not try to email individuals, supposedly because it will be faster but it seems to actually take longer to receive a response, if you get one at all * tutor team manager turnover is quite high * the pay you are offered is on an hourly rate but lessons are generally only 40 minutes long, so you need more students than you may want in order to make the money that you're looking for * While NLG 'finds' the students for you to tutor, you are expected to make all contacts and basically be the go-between between the parents and the company should the parents have any questions/concerns/etc.
