Review Posted 10/12/2013
Triple check your paperwork!
Tutoring looked like it would be a great part-time job. The reviews I read were a little concerning but I decided to go for it. At the orientation training they stressed that as long as the paperwork was filled out correctly that I would get paid... Read More »

Happy Camper
I live in La Quinta and realized that I had to attend an orientation if I wanted to become a tutor. I was hesitant at first because that I thought it meant that I had to drive to LA. But I was contacted by my trainer and she informed me that it wa... Read More »

Bilingual preferred
As a college student and living on my own, I needed something that was part time and could pay well. I came across this company ad and applied. I was pleased with the training and information I received. I got two handbooks that had lots of inform... Read More »

Convenient work
As a single parent, I was looking for a part time job and came across this company through a co-worker. He told me about the schedule and high pay rate, two things that got my attention. I attended orientation which was two day process and finally... Read More »

Helping out!
I was hired by them at the end of December to help underprivileged students with their education. I didn’t know that there are lots of students that need help in my community. Some of the students that I tutored have parents that can’t speak or re... Read More »

Life saver!
My husband recently lost his job and wasn’t able to find something for over three months. He came across this tutoring job with this company and I told him to go for it. The pay was great and I we knew that it was something that was going to help... Read More »

Giving back
Growing up I was lucky to have a tutor who could assist me with problems that I was having in school. I always felt embarrassed to ask questions and get the help that I really needed, and I am grateful my parents sacrificed so much so that I could... Read More »

Another tutoring job
I have worked for other tutoring companies in the past that treated me very well, and when my current job went out of business, I was worried about finding a company with a similar fit. By far this company provided me with the most thorough traini... Read More »

Using Math for the better good!
Math has always been a passion of mine, and although I have a full time job, I wanted to impart that on students from the same school district I grew up in. I went to orientation and was assigned 6 junior high school math kids. I was shocked to fi... Read More »

Orientation needs improvement but experience doesn't
Due to budget cuts, I got laid off from my job in early February. I was contacted by the company after posting my resume on several online job sites. I was interviewed and selected to come in for an orientation for the La Habra school district tow... Read More »
 
 
 
Review Posted 6/27/2013
Easy to balance with life
Being a college student, I was happy to see a part time job that offered $17/hr. It also fit with my school schedule, and allowed me to work on the weekend. The training was long (3-4 hours), but it was mainly because people kept asking the same q... Read More »

Rules to follow!
I was hired by The Academic Advantage at the end of January to help students in my area through the No Child Left Behind program. Training lasted two days, 4-5 hours each time. Both trainers were very friendly and helped me understand the importan... Read More »

Former tutoring coming back
I worked for this company two years ago, but moved away to pursue a master's degree out of state. When I came back, I decided to work as a tutor again. In the short time that I have been gone many things improved including their training and custo... Read More »

Local Tutoring
I hate commuting. Living in the LA area it's inevitable. Working as a tutor I was able to tutor near my home. I commuted no more than 30 minutes round trip. I saved so much gas. Some of the students lived in the same apartment complex so I conveni... Read More »

Flexible hours & pays better than other places
Surprised by the start rate for tutoring. Most jobs don't pay as well as this company. I set my schedule to where I tutor weekend mornings and some early afternoons. I also work as an actor and this job flexibility is really helpful. Downside to t... Read More »

Good Luck Getting Paid
Incompetent, frustrating, unprofessional....All of the glowing reviews are probably fake, as they all seem to have the same tone. If I'd known then what I now know, I would never have worked for them. 1) They advertised their rate as $22/Hour, but... Read More »

Good balance for school and work
A classmate of mine recommended me to this company. I wasn't really looking for work since I'm trying to focus all of my attention to finishing school. I applied anyway and went through the hiring process. It was way more than I was expecting. I w... Read More »

Customer service
I was contacted December 2012 about becoming a tutor. I've gone through the orientation meeting and turned in all my paperwork. I am very glad that I did not pay for the fingerprinting up front because they have yet to contact me in over 3 months.... Read More »
