Alchemy Tuition

Alchemy Tuition Employee Review

Amazing flexibility and Very Rewarding Work!

Private Tutor (Current Employee) - Online - 19 July 2023

I have worked as an Alchemy tutor for a few months now and have already started building great relationships with my students. In just a short time my students have grown comfortable working with me, and I can see an improvement in their understanding and confidence towards their school work. Alchemy is a great place to work because I get to choose my own hours and the type of lessons I feel comfortable teaching. So far, all of my students have a long-term tutoring goal so I feel confident about the income each week. I get to talk directly with parents regarding scheduled lessons and any changes that there may be with dates/times. Alchemy is very easy to get in contact with regarding assistance/training/questions.

Pros

Rapport building, Rewarding work, Flexible hours, Long-term students, Speak directly with parents

Cons

Students get snatched up quickly

A well organised job but left feeling very underpaid

Private Tutor (Current Employee) - Online - 26 November 2023

Although the organisation is very well managed and clearly systematised, the pay is very underwhelming if you take highschool students and more so, senior students.The pay for the first 10 lessons online is $30.For a Year 11 or 12 student, you end up using an extra thirty minutes to an hour a week outside of class to either prepare your lesson, brush up on your content knowledge, mark/provide feedback for their work or answer questions they have leading up to an assessment task.If you spend an extra thirty minutes for a student, that's essentially 90 minutes of work for $30. This is under minimum wage in Australia which should be $23.23 per hour. Although the solution feels simple - only take junior students, the reality is, unless you are really quick to respond to messages they aren't that easy to come by. For those with other commitments who cannot respond to messages immediately, you are really only left with senior students to choose from.

Pros

Well organised

Cons

Difficult to find students. Pay.

Online Tutoring

Tutor (Former Employee) - Online - 15 November 2023

a good tutoring experience with supportive staff and an easygoing environment, one could imagine a setting where students feel welcomed and encouraged. In this environment, staff and tutors are approachable and patient, fostering a positive learning atmosphere.

Flexible Hours

Tutor (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 29 October 2023

There's no minimum amount of students needed, so its easy to work according to whatever hours suit you. There are constant listings of students on the main page and you're able to pick them up whenever.
