Best Tutoring Site
April 3, 2020

I'm Tutor on Studypool, I can say that it's a serious website. The transactions are secure and you earn money depending the time that you spent on it. Needs to be patient at the beggining but it worths. Students get a better grade and Tutors a good pay.

As a tutor on Studypool, something I've learned is that you can't just expect the money to flow if you aren't pulling your weight. What I mean is, if you're doing half of the job, don't expect to get paid. If you aren't willing to put in the work, don't expect to get paid. If you aren't willing to communicate with the student and be open to revision, then don't expect to get paid because everything is based on the quality of your work and character. If you're inviting and open, then you're more likely to attract regular work. Likewise, if your work is of high quality, then you have a higher chance of getting recommended and attracting more students

I had so much school work accumulated, I needed a quick solution. I decided to do some research on homework help sites. Luckily I found Studypool and was able to breathe for a second. Not having to worry about understanding an assignment because Studypool tutors will help you with anything you need is priceless. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Not bad.
April 4, 2017

I got some help on a homework. I was a little lost but I asked customer service and they told me how it worked and gave me links on how to use the page. IT was a lot of info but I finally decided to post a test question.

When i posted the question I got to select features. I posted a question for 5$ and with a deadline of 5 hours. A few tutors wanted it but some of them wanted more money. These were "better" tutors I guess, so you actually have to pay for quality.

They delivered the answer and it was good so i posted a bigger question that was handled nicely by the tutor. I would recommend using the private feature since it hides your work from content checkers.

Hopefully, this will be how the site works every time, becuase Ive read really bad reviews. And it wasn't bad at all.

Dictator culture
April 13, 2021

There will be a team of moderators moderating. These moderator's KPI is to issue warnings. Therefore, they have been consistently issuing warnings no matter how much you prove that it is not your fault. Even if you have proven that it is not your fault, they will still insist that they are right by issuing the warning and always say that the decision is final and thank you for understanding. FYI warnings can result in the suspension of your account or deduction of your money. If you feel you are treated unfairly, there is no higher management to complain to. Nothing can be done but to only accept the fact that you are being bullied by this bunch of moderators. In short, they are a cocky, good-for-nothing bunch of moderators just messing with tutors in order to hit their KPI.

I love the way the sessions give us students a lot of control with how much we pay, another site I won't name gives pricing for you and you don't have an option to chanhge it. My only feedback for studypool is to enable an option to upload multiple documents. I had a time when I needed to send my tutor multiple docs, I had to transfer them one by one.

SCAM SCAM SCAM
April 12, 2021

SCAM. They steal your money and ban you for no reason. I was a rising star and studypool partner and all my answers were submitted, I was waiting for my payments when I got a notification that my account has been banned. Active immediately. I did not have bad reviews. I completed all my assignments on time and I had a success rate of 85% with 5 stars. I had $150 in my balance and just as I was about to withdraw it, I got banned. That seems suspicious. This happened twice. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, EFFORT OR MONEY ON THIS SCAM!

They Rock!
May 19, 2017

I need to have several doubts cleared in regards my algebra HW. I tend to get lost in several equations, I've been hearing about this website and I decided to give it a chance, I posted my question and was assigned to a tutor, at the begginin I did not know how it worked so I reached out customer service and they explained the process to follow in order to make things right, they were really nice and explained the complete scenario as so really useful links, at the end I ended up having my doubts cleared and I was able to finish my homework. I completely recommend the website it is worth the time!

The best parts are determining your own workload, hours, and location. Additionally, you earn badges as you successfully complete student work upon them submitting feedback and the more badges you have, the more you are prioritized for future work. The downsides are that work is not guaranteed since all work is done through a bidding system. The more you bid, the more likely you will receive work. Another downside is that there are significant deduction fees per work that you complete: ranging from 20% at best if you help new students and around 30% for other students. The work environment is very independent and pretty secluded. Most interactions are with a mentor you are assigned to where you can ask questions.

I have used Studypool for two years now and I have never encountered any problems with my work. The support team is very friendly and I love the way they respond ASAP to any of my queries. I have about five tutors that I work with and I never miss any of them online at any given moment.

SO I only work part-time at a coffee shop, and I spend the rest of my time in school - part time sucks with minimum wage (6.50 for small employers). I started making money the first week at Studypool (~$200 in 2 days) - I literally helped students with their assignments and made sure I submitted everything on time and did my best; I used my school vacations to squeeze in more time since my job currently doesn't hire full-time employees. I like the site and any questions I've had are answered quickly (I love the little IM on the side so I can reach customer service instantly) - I do recommend it HIGHLY as it helped me (and continues to help me) pay off a few things I owe.

SCAM! Do not use.
March 20, 2017

Lost over $50 to them for a question that was not even answered. They do not issue refunds and the level of English used by their tutors in questionable at best.

They recommend tutors with different experience levels and price so there's always an option for high quality tutoring help, but it's usually the more expensive one. Overall I'm happy with the site.
