Pros

Teaching is so fun! I love meeting people excited to come to the US. Friendly staff, vibrant startup culture, very flexible hours. Great for when you're at school but you haven't got your career lined up yet. Generally good students. In-house systems that tend to work pretty well. Clearly a company run by smart people on a good growth trajectory.

Cons

Main issue is opaque salaries and pricing; they start with an hourly floor rate that's pretty low compared to what they actually charge their customers. I can't tell you their margins, but I'd expect 50-150% more for each level of experience, based on their business model. Also, a potentially unethical job given it could be argued that the whole industry perpetuates financial privilege. Occasional bugs on the platform, but nothing I've had to escalate. Executives & contact points sometimes very unresponsive, probably because they're so busy.

Pros

- Flexible hours, you can choose how many students you wish to mentor - Ongoing improvement of internal processes and tools - Tons of materials to help the mentor prepare for their sessions and handle communication with the students and parents - Working with motivated students is such a nice personal fulfillment

Cons

- Since things and people are changing frequently, it's hard to keep up with new policies and to know who to contact in case you need help - Compensation does not always reflect the extra work we put in as mentors (emails, feedback to students)
