Pros

Helpful staff in tech issues and admin for admin work that tutors should not be doing.

Cons

For £15 per hour tutors have to secure at least 3 hours a week (20,40 min sessions) by chasing parents and setting up the sessions, which for each student adds on 30 - 60 mins to the work. Then there is the issue of admin attached to each student, attendance reports etc. Extremely poor pay for professionalism of a tutor.

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.
