Misleading Job Advertisements - Avis employé Tutor of Mathematics ClassTutor

Pre-prepared PowerPoints available - can help to save some time, unless you prefer using your own resources instead. Admin - friendly and responsive team who work very hard to contact parents and facilitate crisis management, as well as assigning classes. A high volume of lessons is up for grabs, if you have the availability! They effectively handle liaison with parents, so that tutors can focus on tutoring. ClassTutor portal - an awesome online resource implemented recently, which helps both tutors and tutees alike, in and out of the lessons!

Pay - a sudden, unexplained decrease in the rates for lessons since last year… Group classes of 5+ students become far trickier to manage, with no further financial incentive whatsoever for the tutor (capped at £25/hr). I had several classes that were far too large - this made the company lots of money, but made my life significantly harder, whilst also reducing the lesson quality for other students already in the group Bonus - this might as well not exist, with a patronisingly low reward after a year of hard work, half of which you only receive if you continue until the next academic year! Benefits - requesting leave is far too tricky and inconsistent a process with lots of hoops to jump through, despite how much you contribute to the company - even if you are teaching 25+ hours a week! “No shows” - no financial compensation at all for preparing a resource and waiting 15 minutes in a zoom call, when a student doesn’t turn up.

I enjoyed work and the onboarding process was smooth.

The pay was not very nice.
