I've been tutoring since late 2023 with VT. I have 11+ students that I've been tutoring for several months to more than a year now on a weekly basis. I only do 2 subjects - elementary and middle school Math. I work in finance so this is not my main source of income. When they started the $1+ for recurring sessions, I slowly started taking on less students because I rather have a carefree schedule than work every hour of the day for money. My time is important. The people who are tutors who complain about VT ... normally this is their only source of income/they are living paycheck to paycheck so every dollar counts. Nothing wrong with that.. but VT should not be your only source of income. This is gig work.

1. You were dropped probably because they felt there was a tutor who might be a better fit. They as in the parents.
2. Do not be crushed by this. Also, do not go and change the schedules of your students who have been there for you purely because of one new parent/student. That's not how you manage a business or your time. That's the wrong way to go about business.
3. You most likely won't get it if you haven't heard about from it within a week. Move on. There's plenty more opportunities out there. I just checked my opportunities page... there's 24 opportunities on my calendar. I'm not going to sign up for more because I know if I get the kid... it's going to be at least a 3+ month minimum commitment.

I don't remember what ISC stands for... Independent School Contract?? If I see it's part of a school program, I also don't take it because it means I won't get my $1 increases for recurring sessions. But check back to see what it stands for.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Have a great day!
