Studypool provides a wonderful opportunity for freelancers to get frequent work and provides great working conditions. The ability to pick and choose when to work in wonderful and they ensure that their tutors are paid for the work.

I love Studypool, it is the best tutor platform ever! I have tutored on a few platforms as well as at my school, and this is the best tutoring experience. I love that I can make my own hours and have flexibility on what questions I answer. It is also a super easy website to use, and the customer service is the best if you ever have any questions. I wish I would have known about it sooner, and now I recommend all my friends, both students and tutors!

I've had the opportunity to tutor on a few online platforms as well as institutions. I've found StudyPool to truly be the best of them. The work schedule is entirely up to me, and there's a degree of freedom in the time I have to respond to students' academic needs. And as the cherry on top, the website's interface is extremely easy to work with. The main concept of StudyPool is to provide excellent service in any time frame student needs, and they certainly deliver. I'm jealous this service was not around when I was going to school! I highly recommend students to try StudyPool. They will Not be disappointed.

Studypool is a great platform to learn from quality expert tutors. User interface is very intuitive and crisp, customer support is quick and payment systems are hassle free! Hands down the best platform to learn as well as to teach. I have had a great experience as a tutor at Studypool and would recommend students at universities/schools to use their service!

Great platform both for students and tutors!

I´ve been working as a tutor for a few weeks, and my experience was really good, Altought it´s a bit long the process to apply and be accepted as a tutor this is to maintain the best quality of tutor as possible and their efforts to give the students the best help they need.

WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL APPLICANTS BEFORE SUBMITTING THEIR KNOWLEDGE QUIZ:
Run all of your work through www.turnitin.com and make sure it's <15% or you will be rejected.

I worked for hours on my Application and essays for the Knowledge Quiz just to get rejected for plagiarism! I enjoy writing and write very well and had no intention of plagiarizing anything - If so, I could have just copied and pasted articles and been done in ten minutes rather than spending hours rewriting everything I researched.

Had I known they would have run my essays through Turnitin looking for <15%, I would have done the same and adjusted my essays accordingly.

Sorry, but when writing about Braxton Brigg's life history, you're bound to get some of the same wording as far as dates and battles go! Had I known about this 15% rule via Turnitin, I would have added a few more paragraphs to my work until the essay as a whole was <15% before submitting it.

And when writing about how Dialysis works, you're naturally going to write the same blood component names and same medical and biology terms, as well... Again, I cited my sources and reworded every single sentence. I could have easily added more words and paragraphs to my essay on this until I got it down to less than 15% on Turnitin before submission.

I am highly disappointed in the way this turned out.
I wasted hours on this when I could have been working on another site making money.

Tutor support was friendly and helpful.
I suggested that they make applicants aware of this 15% rule and to let Applicants know that they need to create a Turnitin account and run their work through it to make sure it is <15% before submission.
I also asked for a second chance now that I am aware of this 15% rule on Turnitin, but I have not received a response as of yet.

I sincerely hope this helps any future applicants who choose questions on the Knowledge Quiz that are fact-based and bound to have the same words, dates, and places. Even if you cite your sources on this and reword every single sentence you type, you must be <15% on Turnitin which means you simply need to add more paragraphs and make your essay longer to get it below this threshold.

Good Luck!

I am going to school for civil engineering and since the COVID-19 i have had a lot of difficulty learning and solving the problems that our teachers gave to us. I tried to get some help from friends but still useless. Then i found that studypool helps you to solve every question that you have in a very high quality and explaining everything that you need. Since then my marks have been very high and i am very happy now. I have been using it for 4 months and i will keep using it every time. Thank you

I applied to be a tutor here and I've taught at a private institution, Kumon, other online institutions, and of course I private tutor. I spent hours on perfecting the essay and everything else for the application and when I completed the Knowledge Based Quiz, I was told I was rejected because of "Failure to meet one or more requirements." There was no actual reason why so they could've just randomly denied me. Furthermore, I contacted their support team and below in the photos will be the conversation between a "Moderator" and me. It's quite shocking how useless their support team is and they will definitely only be hearing negative reviews from me (on top of the hundreds of other negative reviews).

I began tutoring last September (2019) and have been actively doing so since then as my full-time job. I absolutely have loved the experience of getting to help other students progress in their academics. The staff is always working to update and make changes to the site in order to ensure both the students and the tutors are satisfied. Some people complain about the staff being unfair, as you can receive warnings and refunds on work that is deemed unacceptable to studypool standards. In my opinion, I think they work to be as fair as they can, as you should be aware of their standards before making a career out of tutoring on the platform and you should be striving to meet those standards and provide excellent help. In any other job, you are reprimanded or rewarded based on your ability to perform and follow the rules. This should be no different. You are awarded with badges that increase your chance to get approved for more assignments (which are usually higher paying) and as long as you really focus on providing excellent customer service, you will be rewarded with recommendations to receive assignments and make more money. You can work as little or as much as you please as long as you do not neglect the assignments you've agreed to help with. The more you work = the more money you make. Very easy to make a career out of it and make substantial income. Starting out, you should focus on building a reputation by taking the lower paying jobs and working on getting badges and good reviews. Once you are established, then you can start focusing more on income. Take it seriously, and it will be a wonderful experience for you.

I hold major degrees in education and have been teaching at 10+ schools for 15+ years. I even lectured at university and coached 1000+ students in my own classes. I also own two tech companies and consult upcoming entrepreneurs for much higher fees than what I could earn on studyproof but I thought it would be great to teach upcoming kids and teenagers.

As a prof with masters in education I got declined at an education platform while freelancers from India, Pakistan and other countries are flooding the platform.

Tells you a lot about the seriousness and quality of this platform of this business.

When profs get declined and Youtubers and teenage kids from India are approved to lecture about education. They might know things but that's quite poor quality standards.

As a tutor on Studypool, something I've learned is that you can't just expect the money to flow if you aren't pulling your weight. What I mean is, if you're doing half of the job, don't expect to get paid. If you aren't willing to put in the work, don't expect to get paid. If you aren't willing to communicate with the student and be open to revision, then don't expect to get paid because everything is based on the quality of your work and character. If you're inviting and open, then you're more likely to attract regular work. Likewise, if your work is of high quality, then you have a higher chance of getting recommended and attracting more students

I am very unhappy and disappointed with their services. Though the tutor has great knowledge in the subject matter, what's disappointing was the connection during our online meeting. My time was wasted from the line that was on and off, and maybe only had 30 minutes of the meeting instead of 1 hour. It would've been ok if they gave me a discount since I was not able to fully utilize the 1 hour session. But my request just went to trash I guess since I didn't get a reply.

I'm Tutor on Studypool, I can say that it's a serious website. The transactions are secure and you earn money depending the time that you spent on it. Needs to be patient at the beggining but it worths. Students get a better grade and Tutors a good pay.

Been with Studypool for 40 days and wrote 40 quality work for 40 different students. What a coincidence, just divine! Studypool is the most responsive, transparent, student-friendly, and plagiarism-conscious tutoring platform I have ever worked with. Customer service is just 24/7 superb. Quality work need quality platforms. Thanks Studypool! You're the best.
