Is this your company?

The pay almost justifies the fact that this company is run by sociopaths - Tutor Tutor Associates Employee Review

Pros

Pay averages out to slightly above minimum wage per hour of time "Free" lunch

Cons

During my time at Tutor Associates, I was repeatedly asked to lie to clients about scores so that the company could squeeze as much money out of them as possible. When I refused to lie, my hours were cut to the point where I could barely make rent. I (and others) were gaslighted and manipulated-- we were promised hours that simply didn't exist. Tutor associates puts its workers in a calculus, and the goal is to always meet client demand and have a surplus of tutors just in case. I never got more than half the hours I was promised. Don't work here unless you want an incredibly stressful, undercompensated job that will ask you to compromise your values.

Pros

A supportive environment for professional development and growth as an educator (in-house resources for onboarding/training, opportunities for more paid training for taking on new subjects to tutor, advising from senior Tutors and opportunities to advise to newer Tutors); Sustainable and flexible hours allow for personal time, especially good for people pursuing careers in the arts (great hourly rate with opportunities for promotion, ability to develop good relationships with students-and-parents and communicate about scheduling with them directly, mix of in-person and remote work hours); Great people (high frequency of wonderful students, Tutors and non-Tutor staff are lovely people to have as coworkers and colleagues, non-Tutor Program Directors provide support for communicating with parents, many employees balance their Tutor Associates work with other pursuits in education, sciences, arts).

Cons

The seasonal nature of tutoring work can sometimes result in long stretches where one's weekly workload can feel either overwhelming or bone-dry. Depending on a Tutor's own initiative for requesting new students and building relationships with Program Directors, frequency of new students/new weekly work hours can sometimes feel uneven.
