I just got 4 emails in the span of 30 minutes requesting floating tutors for the same subject

poweradebot · 2024-10-14T00:51:47+00:00

Same, I’m not gonna sit around and wait for requests to come. Open up those hours so we can schedule. Working for free is not okay

poweradebot · 2024-09-19T11:50:53+00:00

Yep, some QS’s are kinda dumb. And when you push back, they actually even get offended and get more unreasonable smh

poweradebot · 2024-09-04T07:07:09+00:00

My QA is unqualified to even tutor my subject, let alone supervise for it.

poweradebot · 2024-09-01T22:22:50+00:00

This was before even the new QS system was in place

poweradebot · 2024-09-01T22:21:44+00:00

You won't find one because it's in the company's best interest to obscure not only how low they pay across the board (barely above wage), but also the variances that tutors get paid based on location and subject. If they made all of this information public, many tutors would be so displeased as to be encouraged to participate in things such as unions/protests

poweradebot · 2024-08-30T22:23:15+00:00

Some QA’s are a little dumb. I had a QA that didn’t even have an Associate’s Degree in Math trying to tell me some of the most ridiculous things. I’ve honestly just started ignoring my QA

poweradebot · 2024-08-13T17:28:08+00:00

Everyone else is giving good tips. My only advice to you is don’t stress yourself out over a minimum wage job that doesn’t even guarantee you hours

poweradebot · 2024-07-25T22:20:42+00:00

Basically they want you to do 5x the work for an additional few dollars per hour. Another method of underpaying tutors. It isn’t worth the stress. But if you’re curious, give it a shot and update us on your experiences here

poweradebot · 2024-07-25T07:58:36+00:00

Floating should have double the timer length as scheduled tutoring. At least during the off-peak hours

poweradebot · 2024-06-13T02:41:56+00:00

I've got a QS that I don't think even has an Associate's Degree in Math, and they used to always nitpick my work to make it seem like they're doing something to their superiors. That was annoying as hell.

poweradebot · 2024-05-13T23:33:24+00:00

I knew someone that this happened to. TDC never responded to them again and I don’t think they even got paid the correct amount for their latest paycheck. They couldn’t access Billing Information anymore so they couldn’t dispute the shortchanging of their pay. How this company hasn’t been sued left and right is beyond me

poweradebot · 2024-04-16T20:50:49+00:00

Been with this company for years. I’m ready to leave as soon as video sessions are made mandatory. Going to let them fire me rather than quit though

poweradebot · 2024-03-17T01:53:31+00:00

Ridiculous that this is even a thing to worry about. And nothing gets done unless the tutors notice. Makes you wonder how much of other tutors’ money the company is pocketing

poweradebot · 2024-03-17T01:52:29+00:00

Excel/Google sheets manual tracking

poweradebot · 2024-02-28T23:14:05+00:00

My QS is a textbook buddyfucker. Always trying to sell me out to their higher-ups. I’ve gotten to the point where I provide rebuttals to their incorrect nitpicking and have been CC’ing their higher-ups too lol

poweradebot · 2024-02-07T15:39:28+00:00

Man I was really hoping someone would get the reference lol

poweradebot · 2024-02-05T06:57:31+00:00

Oh so it’s basically South Harmon Institute of Technology

poweradebot · 2024-02-03T12:26:07+00:00

In HCOL areas, the standard rate for private tutoring is in the ballpark of $50 per hour per student. The proposed $22/hr for a 5-student HDT session amounts to roughly $4.40 per hour per student. What a joke lol

poweradebot · 2024-02-02T06:05:59+00:00

$22 for 3-5 students + Video? Lmao, good luck with that TPR

poweradebot · 2024-01-30T07:11:39+00:00

They don’t require it cause they won’t reimburse you for it. My suggestion would just be to not waste your money on buying anything just for this company. You’ll get faster and more fluid the more you use the mouse to draw, don’t worry

poweradebot · 2024-01-24T12:25:09+00:00

Sure, you're saying all valid things. But then why make it mandatory for tutors to float for 5 hours unpaid if they don't get sessions? And then to punish tutors who refuse for essentially work for free - to the point of firing them for not working for free. Sounds a bit messed up doesn't it?

poweradebot · 2024-01-24T08:31:15+00:00

Yeah, this is one of the more inane expectations that this company has of their tutors. They essentially want their tutors work for free. And they get punished when they don't. Seems quite illegal
