Tutoring role review - Avis employé Professional Tutor Tutor Associates

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).

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.

Flexibility with hours and location

Management-parent communication can be difficult
