Pros

Work from home in your free time.

Cons

Miserable pay. If you are not based in US you are hired by another company and you are paid 5 dollars per hour during your tutoring time. In the waiting time you are not paid. It is like working at an information desk and be paid only when someone come to ask for information. Training, class preparation and time you spend for scheduling are not paid. All your classes are recorded for quality check and can be reviewed. There is no freedom of choosing your teaching method because you are asked to treat the student as if they are stupid. Some of the student that are interested in understanding are frustrated about the length of the sessions (18-20 minutes). Several students are asked by their schools to connect but they do not care about the tutoring session: they connect and do not interact until you close the session.

Pros

The students are usually nice. Work from home.

Cons

There is no appreciation of employees. They give badges instead of raises. Don't be fooled by the $22 per hour posts. They do not pay that much for most tutoring. Most work is under $20/hr. The job that pays $22/hr is horrible according to most tutors. There is twice as much unpaid work involved compared with regular tutoring. This is not a job that pays a living wage. If you think you can stick out a low wage for a few years and then get a better wage from them, think again. They never give raises. The piddly 50 cents in January is not a raise. It is simply based on the minimum wage going up. It's an insult. If you think you can gain experience and then move on to another job think again. They don't give recommendations either. I hate working for this company. They have repeatedly tried (unsuccessfully) to get me to work without pay for things like training and meetings when they only pay min. wage even when they do pay. If they had their way, they would send all jobs to India, but their contract with the DOD is holding them back. This company is owned by the Chinese. Don't expect fair wages. I have to work more than 40 hours a week to get paid for 25 of them. Work-from-home jobs do not pay well, so keep that in mind when you are thinking about the benefits of working at home.
