Students are located pretty far from my home (pre-COVID).

Excellent Side Job

Private Tutor (Current Employee) - Franklin, TN - October 31, 2023

Overall this is a great company to work for as a tutor. I appreciate the "job board" pairing system that allows tutors to see basic information about each student to estimate if it will be a good fit (availability, level, subject(s), confidence level, learning challenges, hobbies). The franchise owner in my city has been amazing to work with: he is very accessible and supportive of his tutor team.The hourly pay varies by student but can be good for more advanced subjects (high-school/college). Be aware that with in-home tutoring, gas and travel time can offset your earnings (your miles are not tax deductible if you drive within your metropolitan area).The flexibility and pay makes this job ideal for someone who wants to fit a few well-paying work hours into a tight schedule (college students, working professionals). The tutor role is very independent; whether you find it rewarding financially or personally is largely up to you. I have enjoyed working with Tutor Doctor and would recommend them to anyone looking to tutor.

Pros

Flexibility, Communication, Pay (varies)

Cons

Unpaid travel time

First and most positive work experience.

Private Tutor (Current Employee) - Remote/Student's preferred location - October 18, 2023

I have had internships (remote and in-person) and several hours of volunteering experience with tutoring but my job at Tutor Doctor was my first ever time working as a private tutor. Despite being my first "official" job, I have had an incredibly positive experience working with Tutor Doctor. The management is incredibly friendly and supportive and finding students and recording time is very easy. Because the job involves private tutoring there is no "work place" and most communication is with regional managers. Considering I had no previous official experience, the pay was also great. There are remote and in-person tutoring options and long distance commute (over 35 min) is compensated with minimum wage. All pay and other calculations as well as guides are written up and easy to find. I think the most difficult part of the job is managing students that don't cooperate much. Although Tutor Doctor has interviews with students and notes most things, issues with students can still arise. However, a quick email to the regional head and you receive great advice! Friendly environment, great compensation, and usually amazing students with very rewarding tutoring sessions. Love the place!

Decent side gig but not worth the effort for me personally

Tutor (Former Employee) - Chattanooga, TN - September 20, 2023

It was a decent side gig with good pay, but in the end I quit because the benefits didn't outweigh the drive time and little job security. Clients cancel or request a different tutor fairly often. I also thought some of the group emails from management were written poorly and in bad taste.

Pros

flexible hours

Cons

little job security and drive time isn't covered

flexible hours but they do not communicate well with their employees

High School Tutor (Former Employee) - Glendale, AZ - April 18, 2023

I worked there for almost an entire school year with good interactions and feedback from my students. All of my interactions with management seemed to be positive for the entire time I worked there. I missed one appointment with a student, which was a mistake on my part that I was attempting to remedy as soon as I realized when they fired me. I should note that no one called, emailed or texted when I missed my appointment, I simply received an email that implied that I had been fired (they never directly said it). They also said in that email that I had failed to schedule some students correctly which was something that had not been communicated to me prior to termination. I mostly enjoyed working there, but the termination process extremely confusing so I cannot say that I recommend working for them.

Pros

flexible scheduling

Cons

lack of administrative communication

Easy communication with support staff

Tutor (Current Employee) - Charlotte, NC - March 16, 2023

A typical workday is a few hours at a local school site. You're able to learn how to manage a small group of students and provide them with targeted reading and math skills. The staff allow you to develop your own lesson plans and work at your own pace. The most difficult area of the job is not becoming attached to the students. The most enjoyable area of the job is seeing the improvement of your students at work!

Pros

Great pay for a part time job!

Cons

Only a few part time hours per week.

Decent pay and great assistance from the staff to perform the job

Tutor (Current Employee) - Parktown - February 22, 2023

Flexible hours where you decide what job you want to do, with families accommodating when you work. University students struggle juggling their hours.

Pros

Great management assistance

Cons

99% in-person tutoring, so travelling might be an issue.

The management of the company is what really makes it stand out in the field. Very supportive team always ready to provide guidance to their tutors.

Private Tutor (Current Employee) - McKinney, TX - February 22, 2023

I have been able to take on as few or as many clients as I like. I found my own sweet spot as far as the age and academic level of the students and how many sessions per week I was able to effectively manage. I really enjoy the students and the work. The challenge is real, but it is for all teachers. I would say it would be nice to have a way to get compensated for the time planning activities in advance, doing administrative tasks, travel, and communicating with clients.

Part Time $

Tutor (Former Employee) - Vancouver - August 23, 2022

Joined the team to keep my brain active and earn a few dollars. Most clients I tutored were not for revision purposes, but because the student needed to be challenged, or a structured place to do their homework.

Flexibility, Vetted Clients

Academic Tutor (Current Employee) - Santa Monica, CA - July 8, 2022

I appreciate the ability to choose my clients and I really like the clear process the company has. Their communication is also really good and although the pay could be higher I get to work with and help some great students. This is just supplemental income, so it works perfectly for me.

Great place for tutors or capable students to find tutoring clients

General Tutor (Former Employee) - North Knoxville, TN - July 6, 2022

Working with tutor doctor was, in my experience, mostly a remote job. I conducted sessions in-person but was not required to communicate much with management beyond reporting my sessions and hours. The compensation ranges from decent to excellent for a student who is also working, depending on how efficiently you can generate lesson plans.

Awful Owner

Teacher (Former Employee) - Philipsburg, PA - May 2, 2022

The owner of Tutor Doctor in State College PA is the owner for the Eduplaytion Station in Philipsburg PA, all I can say is it is the most horrible place to be employeed. If you like manipulation, To be over worked and under paid, or like harassment this is your preferred work place.
