Mytutor job reviews

  • Best thing

    The job is very flexible and you get to work from home.

    Worst thing

    The managers are not very understanding. I contracted noro virus and consequently could not work as I was either vomiting or trying to sleep and I was banned from the platform for 60 days and did not receive a response to my appeal for 30 + days. When I did initially appeal I was treated as a liar when I felt I was at deaths door. The management are not very understanding.
