Novastar Prep Tutoring

I have been working at Novastar Prep since June of 2017 and I love working with my students on a weekly basis. I feel that I have helped my students in many ways (from getting better grades to seeing them more confident). My students are always happy to see me when I arrive to my tutoring sessions. You create the environment you want to be in. If you do a good job and come in prepared, the family will look forward to working with you. The management is great, and they are always following up with me and my families/students. They always share the families' feedback with me, which is good if you want to become a better teacher/tutor. I like that I get to be creative during my tutoring sessions, and I can use my teaching experience to advance students in their classes. I am constantly offered different opportunities for tutoring, which is great! I wish my full time work and school commitments would allow me to work with more students. If you are offered employment at Novastar Prep, don't hesitate for a second to accept. One of the perks is that I can create my own schedule. I definitely recommend!

Overall great place to work! You're given a lot of freedom to teach as you see fit. As long as the students and parents are happy with their experience and the student's grades see improvement, they won't try to micromanage the way you teach. However, at the same time, if you ever have any questions or need additional support from the staff, they are available for you. Be warned that most people would probably want this as a second or part time job because although the pay is really good for tutoring, it is difficult to get a large amount of hours. That's not the businesses' fault, though, just a normal restriction of working around the students' school and activities schedules. On the other hand, if you prefer working mostly evenings and weekends, this would be the perfect job for you. If you teach SAT, keep in mind that your number of hours will increase when there is an upcoming test and decrease right after a test date due to the amount of student interest at those times. 

The company is genuinely committed to their social impact mission for helping every student achieve their personal excellence.  They match high quality tutors to every student, support us to assure progress is being made.  The company treats everyone with respect and provides opportunity to earn well.  Much better pay rate than most of the tutoring companies I have worked with.  They also pay for referrals and other teaching opportunities.  It's up to us (tutors) to take on as many students (hours) we want.  Company rewards the tutors by giving more students if the student's achieve/exceed academic goals. Love their positive culture! 

My work with NovaStar Prep was to get experience in my instructional exposure in working with students. I worked as a part time tutor. My job did not have any benefits for me such vacation pay or such. Yet the advantage was for my career growth and experience in teaching students. NovaStar Prep did provide a great team of workers and representatives who endeavors to help others with their tutoring needs of services. It was still a great experience to work with a group of educators.

Working here was pretty decent! Students aren't hard to deal with, and you mostly just get to do your own thing once you start tutoring. There's just not a lot of hours really in my experience, so don't expect to make any significant income from this; it's likely just gonna be a little bit of side cash so you can be a nice thing once in a while. Other than that, nothing really bad to note

I found that the company helped me with my tutoring role.  The only issue I had was that my students were scoring much higher during prep for the SAT Math than they did on test day.  I think Novastar lost faith in me but I also was transitioning out of the company

Making your own schedule and choosing which assignments to commit to are huge benefits of a tutoring job. You can make more money on your own, but Novastar fits the bill for matching you with clients...and obviously then, they take a cut. However, as I understand, they pay more than most other companies that do the same. 

I've been tutoring with Novastar Prep for a year. The management team is excellent and makes the process really smooth. The schedule is very flexible and I get to choose what locations I want to go to. The pay is above other tutoring companies.

They lost sight of the fact that we are supposed to be serving our clients, not their rigid tutoring model.  Was basically told my services were no longer needed when I was trying to help my kids.

Management was very friendly and listened to the concerns of its employees. They also allowed us to submit entrepreneurial ideas to advance the business and our skills/careers
