Frequently Asked Questions About Online Tutoring Jobs at Learner
1. What can tutors expect when working with Learner?
At Learner, tutors work one-on-one with students in 60-minute sessions, focusing on long-term progress. You’ll be matched with students based on your availability and expertise. Tutors plan their own sessions and can use their own materials or request materials from clients. Learner provides support for scheduling, billing, and a digital whiteboard.
2. How and when are tutors paid?
Tutors are paid monthly via direct deposit through WorkMarket, by the 10th business day of each month for the previous month's sessions. Tutors are paid only for actual tutoring time, not for administrative tasks like preparing materials or communicating with parents.
3. What is my employment status with Learner?
Tutors are classified as Independent Contractors (self-employed/freelancers). You will receive a 1099 form, not a W-2, and are responsible for your own tax filings.
4. What platforms do I need to use for tutoring?
Tutors use the Oases platform to schedule sessions, which includes links to Lessonspace, the collaborative whiteboard for tutoring sessions. You'll receive training on both platforms during onboarding.
5. Do I need to pay for access to Lessonspace?
No, tutors do not need to pay for access to Lessonspace. Learner provides a shared license for you. You simply join the session via the link in your Oases calendar.
6. How do students join a session?
Students receive a session link via email about 2.5 hours before the session starts. They can join by clicking the link, which takes them directly to the Lessonspace whiteboard. Students can also log into their Learner account to join the session.
7. What technology do I need to tutor with Learner?
To tutor with Learner, you’ll need:
A computer (desktop or laptop) with a stable internet connection
A working webcam, microphone, and speakers (video must remain on during sessions)
A way to clearly annotate on the digital whiteboard (annotations must be legible)
Using a tablet and stylus is highly encouraged, as it typically leads to better session quality.
Note: ELA tutors are exempt from the annotation requirement.
8. What session etiquette should I follow?
Tutors are expected to have their video on during sessions and maintain a distraction-free background. Lessonspace offers background blur and noise-canceling features for minimizing distractions.
9. How are students matched with tutors before a trial session?
The Success Team carefully matches tutors with students based on both the student’s academic needs and personal interests. You’ll be notified when a match is made and will schedule a trial session with the student.
10. What happens during the Trial Session?
The Trial Session lasts 60 minutes and is broken into three phases: 10–15 minutes of building rapport, 40 minutes of tutoring, and 5–10 minutes for a graceful exit and recap. This session helps determine if you and the student are a good fit. Tutors are paid for trial sessions.
11. What is the session cancellation policy?
Tutors can charge for a session canceled within 24 hours or if a student does not show up within 15 minutes. Tutors should contact the student 5 minutes after the session start time to confirm. Use your discretion based on the situation when deciding to charge.
12. How does tutor substitution work?
If you need to take time off, you can request a substitute tutor at least 2–4 days in advance. This allows the student to maintain consistency in their learning. You are responsible for communicating with the client, Success Team, and substitute tutor about relevant session details.
