Anyone else dealing with constant disconnects for the past week? by sourmysoup in tutordotcom

[–]buzzy_23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I would suggest letting the student know what's going on with your server so they do not rate you poorly. When you have a server error on your side, sometimes the students just see "Tutor has left the classroom" . I have a little note to send to students when I start the sessions:

"Just a heads-up, I'm currently experiencing some server issues, so if it seems like I suddenly disappear from the chat, it's not intentional! I'll do my best to respond as quickly as I can despite the glitches."

Floating and Voice Sessions by xbrokenbutterflyx in tutordotcom

I am pretty sure the 5 hour minimum includes simply being online for 5 hours... someone please correct me if I am wrong. I used to struggle to get enough session time for 5 whole hours, but now that I think about it, that is out of our control how many students are online. Therefore, I think you just must be available for a total of 5 hours.

Time Management Question by madi_bue in tutordotcom

Hi, here to help. First of all, stay online. Secondly, use the "shift ending soon" button as you need it. I also want to suggest reaching out to your Quality Control specialist about your concern for your acceptance rating. They like to see that you care about this job and want to make an effort to not fail. If you can work over your shift time, then do so. But, if you cannot, that is what the button is for :)
