Fake applications
September 6, 2020

I applied to be a tutor and was accepted overnight. Then they asked me to do a knowledge quiz. I answered 3 science (mostly medical) based questions. I submitted 3 academic papers written with reliable sources such as many highly respected medical journals. The grammar and punctuation was flawless and the information was accurate. But it would seem many doctors and surgeons holding both an MD and a PhD are below the standard of Studypool. This leads to two assumptions: either applications are fake, or they are rejecting applicants at random. Please, explain.

Racist Company
September 5, 2020

A $#*!ing racist company! Gosh! Tutors are segregated into Whites (whom they call partners; all from U.S., Europe and a few Asian countries) and Blacks with the latter being paid 10% less and allocated less work. It is a disgrace of a company that should not have a place at this age and time. Its website should be banned.

So far I believe the website is good at offering job opportunities for people wanting to develop within the writing field, although I would suggest expanding your knowledge to more than one area just so you are able to find a bigger amount of work chances. Also, payment depends on the students, so better focus on completing the tasks you can manage and will get your payment faster than you would expect.

Their guidelines are helpful for you to engage in a positive relationship with the student, which allows you to increase the chances of them helping you with tips or invitations to further questions. This is important as the payment is also depending on what the student decides to offer.

Overall I believe Studypool is a respectful website that offers chances of growth for both the students and the tutors. Would recommend if you are looking for a serious site that allows you to learn about responsibility and drives you to continue working and expanding your writing skills to many fields.

I listen about studypool from my friends and I try to make an account on this website, in start my account was rejected and the admins support me to make a new one and after 1 week I try again and my account approved after that on the first day I bid and won 20$ work and i was so happy and excited that time. The best thing is admins are so supportive and kind and helpful for all queries any time this is really amazing. I really recommend studypool for beginners and experts also to start their career and earn a good amount of money online.
The best things are the new customers come on the website the tax ratio is low from other websites and that really attracts tutors and students.

I will give a brief review, have not been into this for long.
For the few days I have tutored here, it is rewarding. There is a constant flow of work, and these guys keep their word. I have managed to withdraw earnings without a problem. One more thing I like is their openness. Unlike some tutor sites, Studypool tutor does not conceal the student budget; you know what the student is offering, and what you get as a tutor is calculated as a percentage. For new applicants, just put your best foot forward. The application process is, however, rigorous but not difficult for serious applicants. I have seen my former college mate fail the test. If you are planning to join Studypool, prepare adequately. You will like it when you start earning.
Cons?. Yet to encounter any.

Reliable source of income
August 21, 2020
Updated review

With this pandemic going on, it has been very challenging to find a regular job. I tried working on other online platforms, but the pay was very low. I've been a tutor in Studypool for 5 months now, and this has been my primary source of income. The first few weeks had been quite difficult since I was still establishing my reputation as a tutor. But with hard work, I was able to help more students in no time. I love that I can work comfortably at home and that I have complete control of my time. I can also choose which questions to bid on. Moreover, their support team is very responsive and is available 24/7, so you can always send them a message whenever you have questions.

They will not approve your tutor application. First they will make you write an essay. Then you will have to answer three questions in the name of so called "Knowledge quiz " and ultimately your application will be rejected.

They have inserted the option for tutor applications just to increase the traffic and look professional. Most of the reviews are fake and tutors are also fake on the site. Beware and spread the world.

I discovered Studypool a few months ago and have been working for them ever since. It is easy to apply (when you're good at writing and have some knowledge about history, languages, maths etc) and get work and you can choose which work you want to do. They have small tasks and larger tasks which earn you more money. I'd definitely recommend the website and have not had any bad experiences with them.

Studypool is a great platform for those who have extra time in their hands to become tutors! I highly recommend this to students who need help with their work too. It offers a straightforward registration process and allows tutors to bid for questions that they can help with. They offer a walk-through in every step of the way and the site is well-maintained.

First, you need to submit a few of your work where they can give you "badges" in areas where you are most proficient. This allows others to see your strengths and gives you the chance to become a Top Tutor or Studypool Partner which highlights your profile among others, giving you more chances when you bid. Second, they have an interactive interface which allows you to communicate with the students' preferences, and is especially useful when you have clarifications regarding the work that you need to complete. Overall, Studypool offers support and helps you earn substantially.

In the first look at their website, they describe becoming a tutor as simple as possible, and by going through the application for hours, finally, you'll get rejected and maybe by a robot. They didn't provide any explanations, and even worse, they don't have enough guide to new tutors out there. (My question is, why are you considering new tutors, and you know the system will reject them?)
Also, by looking and searching genuinely, I found that they have fake reviews (paid reviews) that don't reflect the reality.

Unfortunately, if the answers to our questions in the application stage are wrong, a rejection is automatic. I can look into this further if you want to send me an email with your username to [email protected].

I will judge only the recruitment process and nothing else.
The recruitment process of Studypool is below the standards of education. The recruitment is not based on your qualifications and experience in teaching and online teaching, neither on an interview to display your teaching abilities. They will reject your application if you forgot to put dashes or made a grammar error, and then you cannot apply again. This is not stated at the beginning of the application. For non-native speakers this is not fair especially when you are teaching sciences, where being a native speaker is not mandatory (in every school worldwide only language teachers must have the level of a native speaker)
Briefly about me:
12 years full-time teaching mathematics in UK (state schools) and in an international school (in English language).
Long experience in online teaching (currently teaching at a university online maths in english)
PGCE in UK

I wrote the essay at my best, it was according to their standards but possibly I made some grammar mistake... it was not for Nobel but you can clearly see that I can speak, write and therefore teach mathematics. But according to studypool I am not qualified to become a tutor in an online platform, though my CV proves exactly the opposite.

My advice to new applicants:
1. Make sure you write a correct essay... if an expert can do it for you even better. I should have done that.
2. Experience, talent or skills are irrelevant.

I hope someone will find this information useful

Hey, I have to admit Studypool has got strict rules. However, I appreciate this because this keeps us (tutors) on toes and creates a great platform for students to get quality academic assistance. Once we follow the rules, we can always meet the demands of students and this, in turn, makes students enjoy their experience on the website.

Personally, I have worked with many students who have enjoyed the service and keep coming back for more. I'd recommend students seeking academic help to try the site if they need quality. As for tutors and other aspiring Studypool tutors, the site is great and you can work at your pace and earn well, based on your efforts.

The main reason why I worked overseas was to earn more money, but with this pandemic, everything just came crashing down. Schools are closed, and online classes are the thing. However, for many of us ESL teachers, only the graded major subjects are the ones that have scheduled online classes, so we aren't part of those classes.

I was checking on YouTube for ways to earn money, and I unexpectedly came across one video talking about Studypool. So, out of curiosity, I checked it out.

I started working on February 28,2020, and that day gave me hope. The application process was smooth albeit a bit challenging, so somehow I know that Studypool is keen on quality work. It was a challenge trying to get clients at first, but with hard work, you definitely can and have repeat clients! I especially love working with clients who have medical backgrounds as that is what my degree actually is. I love learning new things, so it is an interesting job for me. I am happy because my efforts have been seen, and I have earned badges and the top tutor title! I don't have to worry for now about my current job at where I am because I have Studypool. Once school starts, I will still continue as it is a great source of income (and savings). Who would've thought that I could save money at a time like this?

As a student, I used StudyPool.com and so during my Master's I was able to keep my 3.8 GPA. Afterward, I searched for-e-v-er for a legitimate online business in which to work. I should have just stayed right with StudyPool and saved a lot of time looking for something that was right in front of my eyes all along! The company has a solid process of vetting its tutors and has high quality standards. It is also one of the most ethical online companies I have ran across... for the student and the tutor. It values its partners. I plan on a long-lasting relationship with StudyPool and highly recommend it. K-

To choose from. The site itself is intuitive and well designed. Freelance writers, especially the ones focused on academic writing, should give it a shot.
