Not fair for tutors

Anonymous employee

Pros

I don't see any as they don't have enough work.

Cons

I received a booking through the website for a lesson starting in the following 20 minutes. I couldn't do it at such a short notice, so I had to cancel it. This downgraded my profile to the bottom of the list. The system is not fair for tutors. The commission is very high and there are not many bookings through the website. They don't donate anything to students who can't pay, the person who donates free teaching is the tutor while the founders aspire to be millionaires.

Pros

-Able to set up a profile quickly. -Able to put your best qualification & your DBS status (Eg: A degree) on the search page, so it's easy to see.

Cons

-Commission is too high for tutors to earn a decent living. Although it goes down after a period of time & with the amount of lessons you do, there isn't enough work/jobs available to generate a lower commission fee. -Asking for references/or a review from others at the early stages of being on Tutorfair, is not a reflection of the work you have done via Tutorfair as a new tutor. It is also time time consuming. -There is not enough Jobs available to apply for. -Having to update your availability on your profile is not a good idea. A Tutor's schedule can change often/or daily (as mine does) & it is off putting for potential clients, as they may assume you are not available to work on the days that are on your profile. It is better if the potential client & tutor corresponds with each other via the messaging system to work out availability and times mutually agreeable to both. -The website seems a bit dated, with a lack of potential clients 'passing through' which means a lack of jobs available. -The postcode/& area algorithms/area search is so wrong! When you type in the Croydon area for tutors, it comes up with tutors from Edgeware in Middlesex & it thinks that Mitcham is in Kent!

Flexible working, great to work with students

Cons

No respect to the tutors, they call themselves a charity while they are a money making machine
