HSA TutoringReviews of hsatutoring.com

Tutors don’t get paid enough, or even competitively, for the amount of experience that we have and work that we do. I was doing college level calculus with someone…that is worth WAY more than $20 and hour. This is especially true considering how much clients are paying for our services - they would probably be shocked to hear that tutors only make $20-$25 of that payment. The improvements to picking up packages (letting it sit for two hours instead of it just being a rat race of who can respond “interested” on their phone the fastest) I think was a great idea, though.

For almost a year now, our daughter (grade 9) has benefited greatly from the HSA service. We consider HSA our partner in her education, enabling us to support her to improve in various subjects – computer science, writing, debate. HSA management is very responsive to our needs, matching us with wonderful Harvard student tutors. They are experts in the subjects, skilled in mentoring, and are clearly dedicated to helping our daughter.

The primary target for HSA tutoring is students coming straight from high school, however, there is a large demographic of professional adults that are taking courses through the Harvard Extended Studies program. These adults have been professionals in their field for some time and are looking to expand or highlight their current career with ongoing education or switch fields entirely. This division at Harvard hasn't been developed fully, but the potential is there given the growing amount of HES students that go through the program and pay on average $3,000 - $4,000 per graduate-level course with classes that average 50 students or more total per course. That's roughly $200,000 in generated revenue per course allocated to costs supporting the course such as professor salary etc. After signing up for a graduate-level course any support provided through HSA Tutoring for tutoring 1x a week as an example, throughout a 15-week semester - you will be expected to pay an additional almost 2k upfront on anticipated tutoring hours needed. Any tutoring not used will be reimbursed at the end of the semester, but you must make sure to follow up if this is the case or you will not be reimbursed. Currently, if you visit the website and are seeking additional support in your academic studies as a professional in your field, your user experience is guided on the site as such: Seeking tutoring for your child... etc. Please note, the admin support, ie. "managers" "coordinators" etc. within HSA are students themselves, so parents or adult professionals be expected that you will be interfacing with students either still living at home with their parents, or on/off campus and are attending school as well. You may need to work your schedule around their academic schedule ( not the other way around ). This adult professional demographic would benefit from a pool of tutors that had experience supporting working professionals. If HSA is unable to develop a tutoring program focused on adult professionals, partnership with third-party tutoring programs where professionalism and consistency in services have been verified would be helpful to their students.

My daughter was signed up for an art class. Several times the tutor just didn’t turn up. Not doing that again.

My three kids all took test prep from HSA. Helped calm nerves and provide necessary focus in a stressful part of their teenage years.

The teacher is just ok. He just read everything from the book.

I love HSA Tutoring services!!! Amazing tutors that know their stuff and great communication always.

HSA tutoring was a great experience!
