Something seems fishy about this. I’m not sure it it’s the incredible hourly wage, or the fact that apparently a degree in education isn’t required, or, apparently, any college education, or the fact that it appears it’s not related to any school district.
Does it seem fishy to you?

Glad I asked this question!
Help me understand this please. It’s asking:
Undergraduate College:
Major:
Graduate College 1:
Type of Degree:
Graduate College 2:
Type of Degree:
Teaching Certification:
Since I do have a bachelors, I wouldn’t be considered an undergrad, but “Graduate College 1” seems like it would refer more to a Masters degree. ?
@gailcalled not only settled the matter, but started you well down the path. for authentication. To me, the scheme makes perfect sense. For a cut of 25% the site will bring a tutor and pupil together. The fact that the tutor and student are allowed to negotiate the rate is a brilliant touch. I’m certain that those filling in that form are vetted more thoroughly prior to access to the “pupils”, and neither expertise nor talent are assured with a college education (sadly).
In my experience, tutors are usually students, not people with advanced degrees – and definitely not people with education degrees.
“Help me understand this please. It’s asking:”
What exactly is it “asking”? Which degrees you have, or which degree you are registered in?
The college/university from which you received your Bachelors degree is your undergraduate college. When you were a student there, you were an undergraduate student.
I figured it out, @dappled_leaves. It’s asking my education history. I was right, in that “Graduate 1” is referring to things like Masters and PhD’s….higher learning than a bachelors or associates.
Wow….found a review site for them. Overwhelmingly negative. :(
Here
They start out taking 40%, but that gradually goes down the more hours you log. It can eventually go down to 0%. The biggest complaint was that the tutors were getting cancelled once they hit the lower percentages, and were never given an answer as to why.
It is a combined fear of success and failure.
No, it isn’t @SecondHandStoke. It’s a concern that the site may be a scam or a hoax of some kind.
