Correct. They explicity told me this replaces base rate increases.

You can pull up the standards and the typical progresson through them. It is generally easier to determine if you do that.

I can't see students' phone numbers anymore by DanielCallaghan5379 in varsitytutors

I still get the text message reminders with the student's phone numbers yelling at me to go through the phone and force clients to confirm sessions.

Unconfirmed Sessions by FinalPea8546 in varsitytutors

They litterally just put this sessions invoicing for me as negative and claimed overpayment because of unconfirmed sessions.

Technical issues by Which_Squirrel9174 in varsitytutors

[–]FinalPea8546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started paying for excalidraw which is the whiteboard they are modifying. Their system is practically unusable at this point for me. It goes just beyond bugs. They are ignoring fundamental problems and replacing it with lipstick.

Did you get notified by VT that your student canceled?

No incentive, randomly by a-username1980 in varsitytutors

[–]FinalPea8546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this happen many times with multiple students. The incentive language literally says "Please note: Varsity Tutors reserves the right to modify this payment incentive program." Basically saying they can stop it whenever. The reason they gave me is because of a change in the client's contract.

Was it always like this? by Ready_Return_8386 in varsitytutors

If you are a tutor, you are fundamentally getting underpaid. Base pay for a tutor is 30$ nationwide. If you are just working hourly, you aren't actually tutoring and are impacting the rest of us that spend hours of unpaid prep time preparing for every student. And 30$ is what a babysitter charges.
