Littera Education

The students are of course the best part of any teaching work! The support staff and the other team members aim to truly be helpful and solve problems in a pleasant and timely manner (it might involve problems such as ensuring a student can get into the classroom or a book from the curriculum being unavailable). Depending on which curriculum you are teaching to your students, you might have to prepare slides. But I see it as helping make it more personalized for the student's abilities and interests. In addition, it's not hard to set up a template, and just input the information.   I feel like it helps improve my skills as a teacher, as I feel motivated to help my students build their academic skills (and confidence in themselves!) I feel like the students have supportive classroom teachers too. It's nice to see a student who starts out maybe annoyed or embarrassed that they are sent to tutoring embrace the process and actually build their skills make progress, and then finish a semester by sharing how much they learned to love reading, for instance. I guess the hardest part is it pays monthly? Pays well, though. And, you can open shifts to suit your schedule  

I really enjoyed doing remote tutoring for this company, and I was disappointed when they dropped my state (and several others) from states they would be working with. The administrative staff were very responsive and helpful. The elementary-level reading lessons were well written and engaging for the student, and the tutor doesn't have to make any lesson plans. There are some bonus resources in the lessons you can use if your student is having trouble understanding it, which is up to you. As a tutor, you can choose your own hours, and even if a student doesn't show up to a virtual session, you still get paid for it, as long as you're logged into the Virtual Classroom. The drawbacks are that it's a little skimpy on the hourly, and there just aren't enough hours available. But overall, I would recommend this as a part-time job.

There is zero training given for the tutuoring position other than a handbook that makes no sense.  My original email address THEY made for me was misspelled and didn’t work and that was a fiasco I had to get corrected. Next was setting up the accounts used to tutor the children. The handbook didn’t help and I had a lot of trouble trying to figure it out so I reached out for help from a real human. I did get someone to walk me through it and after that it was really easy. I did exactly what I was supposed to and showed up for work early, kept the children on task, made notes etc. yet I was not selected to come back this year so I wouldn’t bother applying to work here. Management is nonexistent, unorganized and unhelpful and this job is extremely unreliable. 

At first I really liked working there, but they schedule and unschedule sessions as they wish.

 You need to open your calender fully and hope they will give you classes. Nobody cares about tutors, they expect maximum effort, but provide minimum wage salary and NEVER give you a raise no matter how hard you try or ask them. They DON'T pay more for group classes, bare minimum only, while there is way more work to review each student and way more preparation that is not paid at all. Also they pay ONCE PER MONTH and will often cut hours. NO BENEFITS, no motivation for tutors. They constantly hire new and new tutors because so many tutors leave when they realize they are not appreciated. 

It is very part-time however the reason I became frustrated was that they do not communicate honestly. They send out numerous emails over several months saying to open up your schedule because X students are getting ready to be scheduled. I set my schedule to accommodate the times and days requested and had very few students. While tutoring online was very enjoyable it is unreliable. When I asked about my schedule they stated I was "just part time" and they make no guarantees and when I left I had a rather rude email from a supervisor. I went back to subbing at a local school since the money was better and the schedule was consistent while being flexible. 

It's very part time and if you take any time off during the school year, even if it's planned time off, they will not give you more hours. In fact, I had to find other work completely because they just stopped scheduling me. I had a planned vacation that I told everyone about. I could not change my flight, and I didn't have great internet where we were at. 

I spent a good about of time training and while the prep work isn't much, I reviewed all the material multiple times, just to make sure I would have great sessions with the students and be able to answer any questions, preparing for the unexpected and planning ahead. All that time wasted on this. Thanks for nothing Littera. 

This is a company with a mission not just because you 'should' have a mission. The leadership team is made of passionate professionals who really care about education and about supporting student achievement. Many are former educators which makes it all the more authentic. The team in general is scrappy, energetic and truly a team who will be all hands on deck to solve any challenges that come up. 

Everything is communicated via a support chat system. It's hard to get a hold of anyone at Littera. You only get paid for three hours of training, the initial three modules, and there a numerous certification courses that are unpaid. If you earn state benefits, you have to pay for employment verification. When asked if they can type it up, they say that they're unable to. Leave and avoid.

The students that you get assigned are a mixed bag—some are highly motivated and others barely show up. It can be frustrating at times, but uniquely gives tutors exposure to the state of the current education system without stepping foot on campus. Also, there are a few different curricula, all used differently, so it takes time figuring out how to teach each one using the virtual tools, and can be confusing switching between them. This can be more streamlined. Scheduling is straightforward once you set your availability. Overall, it’s decent supplementary work. 

No opportunities! Never received subbing, even though I signed up many times.  Since I started with this co. I've started two other tutoring positions with 7 students!  I love tutoring! I would not want someone to get their hopes up and be let down.  This was not worth all the effort of training!  There are many tutoring companies out there that pay better, communicate regularly and provide lots of opportunities!  I highly recommend choosing a different one.
