Pros

Grade Potential is a great company! They truly care about their tutors and their clients and regularly check up on them to make sure they are doing well. Other than that, one of the great things about working for the company is that you are somewhat your own boss. Besides them setting you up with people that need tutoring (and you get to decide whether you are comfortable tutoring them or not), you make the session appointments, you choose the subjects you wish to tutor in, and you pick and log your work hours. Because you pick your own hours, they are very flexible and work does not add to stress at all. And there is no minimum number of hours that you need to work per week. On top of that, they wire money directly into your account so you do not have to worry about cashing a check every month or so. Their website to supplement your work is very easy to use and straightforward and their staff is extremely helpful and nice.

Cons

There are few cons of working here but if I had to pick some out I may say the fact that you only get paid monthly. Also you never know what type of student you are going to get to tutor so you have to be pretty tolerant of people to work here.

Pros

I was able to pick my own hours and it was pleasant to work with students/adult learners who were motivated to learn in the study rooms of libraries. The company pays a little more for students who are far away 25+ miles.

Cons

On the company, I have gone several months at a time without having any clients, but pay came in on time. I just wish they would update their UI. As for students, some came late, cancelled with less than two hours notice, were very unmotivated, or unprepared for sessions. I also often asked for a course syllabus/description/textbook, and rarely would any parent or student provide that to me, which made preparation for the science sessions a headache. Some students also needed either longer sessions or more self-study, but their parents did not really push any of the additional work or studying. It also became hard to explain how given that the student was already floundering prior to tutoring and doesn't understand the content currently, the cannot simply catch up with one hour of tutoring a week.
