OUr Review

iTutor group is for:

  • those who like variety in their teaching. (You can choose to teach both adults and children.)

  • people who already have a bachelor’s, a TESOL certificate, and some experience.

  • teachers with prior experience who are looking for another company and want to fast-track the hiring process.

Things to consider:

  • iTutor requires very specific hours from its teachers each week. (see above)

  • It is difficult to determine your exact hourly wage until you are finished the application process. This is because it varies greatly depending on education, experience, and location.
