Be Aware of the Hourly Rate
Note that there’re several variables would affect your hourly rate,
Teaching experience
The pay depends on the region you live and where you from. The hourly rate is more favorable for teachers from US/UK/Canada.
Candidates from US/UK/Canada are using Fixed rate; the rest of the world are Base Rate + Bonus
Candidates from US/UK/Canada have a higher minimal hourly rate compare to others.
iTutorGroup does NOT have the most competitive hourly rate especially for candidates outside US/UK/Canada and it does have many conditions to watch out for. However, you can certainly have it to fill up your time slot teaching adults or off-peak hours on top of your peak hour with other schools.
Remember to ask HR at iTutorGroup during your first interview to avoid the confusion and misconception.
Fixed-Rate vs. Base Rate + Bonus
Candidates from US/UK/Canada: The total earning per session = Fixed Rate
Candidates from the rest of the world: The total earning per session = Base Hourly Rate + Bonus
First and foremost, one of the most important recent updates is that iTutorGroup removed the pay structure that is strongly related to the students’ ratings (but US/UK/Canada only), which means it is now Fixed Rate instead of conditional base pay rate plus bonus. No more worry about losing a bonus because student forgets to give you a rating after a class! As a result, greater and more guaranteed pay with Fix Rate pay structure instead of base pay with conditions. Depending on your teaching experience and qualification, the pay rate can be up to $24 per hour.
However, there’s a catch. Fix rate ONLY applies to candidates from US/UK/Canada, others are still subject to the dynamic rate (base rate + bonus). Regarding the bonus calculation, the session bonus is associated with both the rating given by the clients and the number of clients in a session. In plain English, more students taught in one session and higher ratings yield greater pay. Consultants are reevaluated for base rate increase related to the performance and time contribution on a monthly basis.
