Studentnest

In my primary (elementary in the U.S.) schooling years in my beloved Jamaica, I used to be in classes of sometimes 60 or more students to one teacher. High school got a little better since I attended the top all-girls high school there. College too was better as a private institution. I then went on to teaching classes of 40+ boys myself, then coaching primary teachers who themselves had 30+ energetic students in their classes! I never knew just how underserved we were since I was always at the top of my classes. 

Imagine the paradigm shift when my first job in the US with StudentNest saw me tutoring students 1-on-1 during regular school hours where I was present for them at all times, especially on days where their own lives separated them from their schooling. 

Imagine my inner child realizing this is what education is really about. Imagine the healing not only of my inner child, but my current self because this job came to me at the most tumultuous period of my life!

Every student we help graduates! 

StudentNest is not just tutoring, it's support, it's family, it's the nest, it's love - ONE LOVE 🤗 

If your district is considering StudentNest Inc., the only answer is YES. 

If you are an educator seeking a new job in a supportive, inclusive, and nurturing environment, StudentNest has several open tutoring roles.  

I have worked at a lot of companies and StudentNest is one of the best employers. I say that because the higher management is involved in my well being (financially, mentally, culturally) and ensures that I have the ability to progress within the organization. Staff are taken care of at any cost. They believe in that if the staff is happy, the clients (students and parents) will be taken care of. We are encourage to share feedback even if it is negative. Management positions are awarded to internal employees ONLY. Just like any other organization, there are some bad apples who would not accept their mistake and instead blame the management. I can't think of any negative sentiment against the owners or the higher management because I see them genuinely being interested in the staff and organizations betterment. 

A typical day involves making phone calls to parents, getting students started with the tutoring program, doing online support with college students or workforce participants and going to schools to teach teachers the company program they are using. 

Working in this position has taught me a lot. One thing I have learned is that people are in things for themselves and sometimes you will work somewhere, where you will have to make sure the job is giving you what you need. People aren't always good.

When I started working here, there was some rule set. We had to sign a paper saying we were told all these rules. I signed this paper and found I was the only one following those rules. Even the management did not follow these rules. People like to work here because a lot of the time it is easy work, but when it is time to work they get frustrated. My schedule changes all the time with no consideration of my life outside of work. I am on the schedule 6 days a week.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with different levels of education and children in numerous grade levels

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful for me is the lack of consistent communication, which is key in any relationship whether professional or personal 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Th work environment varies upon site and duties. My work environment is a classroom with different age groups of children. StudentNest also has a library program, a virtual tutoring program, and a close relationship with many different school agencies.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I clock in at my site(a library for the Summer Readers program) and set up my workspace for tutoring ages 5-11 years in English and Math. I review material already given and supplement that with enrichment activities.

My role started out fine, tutoring one on one with students k-6. I was really able to help them grow and focus directly with them. Then the contract changed, and management did not do a good job at informing us of our new responsibilities. We were now doing 3 on one tutoring, no pay increase despite the responsibility increase, and there were so many changes with the program that management did not inform us of. Im tutoring 1st graders with 4th and 6th graders, which doesn't make sense and management doesn't care as long as statistics show bigger numbers. Burnt out and will be quitting. 

This job is honestly the best job I ever had. I am a tutor at a library and it’s one of the calmest and best job ever. If you like working with kids you will enjoy this job. I teach K-8 and it’s not hard at all. You tutor one student per hour so for me it’s not stressful at all. I just wish they would give extra hours, however this company has great extra opportunities to get more hours. The pay is great and management has been nothing but very supportive, kind and respectful. I never had a job like this and I am honestly very grateful for it. I like to be as honest as possible and all I can say this job is straight forward, no stress, good pay, part time hours, and NON micromanagement. TRUST ME you’ll thank me later for this review :) !!! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The way they value their employees, competitive wages,  Availability for employee concerns and suggestions.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes the schools offer no parking.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Relaxing and multi cultured. Very welcoming to all.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrived at assigned location, prep for 1st tutoring session, welcome students (or go pick them up in class), 3-5 min ice breaker, begin tutoring session, (repeat for next 2-3 sessions)

In education there are always unexpected things that come up, especially when working with kids and schools. StudentNest does a great job of creating a collaborative team that comes together to support one another through challenges. I've found the leadership really tries to put students first and address problems when they come up. They are open to feedback and input from lower-level employees. They also seem to try to promote tutors to leadership roles when tutors demonstrate an interest and capacity for leadership. 

I had a very positive experience working with Student Nest as an Academic Tutor. The company is well-organized, supportive, and clearly committed to both student success and tutor development. Communication from the administrative team was consistent and professional, and expectations were always clear.

Student Nest provides a flexible work environment, which allowed me to manage my schedule effectively while still delivering high-quality academic support to students. I appreciated the respect shown toward tutors’ expertise and the trust placed in us to work independently and ethically.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The students and the other teachers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Total incompetence of the administration 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Online teaching, the administration of the company was only interested in $$’s.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Be at my country 15 minutes before instruction began, hold class, and then 30 minutes of paperwork after instruction.
