I, too, have had a bad experience with this company. I registered as a tutor and right away I was contacted by a client. We exchanged one round of e-mails and I replied that I was available. later the customer left her personal e-mail and I followed up asking her if she was still interested in my services. She replied that she never heard back from me so went with another tutor. Since that time I have replied to several inquiries expressing interest in my services, but have not heard back from a single client, not even a polite decline. Obviously the communication software does not work, but I can only respond through the website. I have tried to contact the company numerous times by phone or e-mail, but no person ever answers the phone -- only a recording that the tutor coordinator is busy assisting other tutors and inviting the caller to leave callback information, and of course, no callback. So far the company has taken my money and given me access to no clients. This is beyond irresponsible. Beware! read more

This website is one of the best for both students and tutors. I have been for 6 years with it and works excellent for me. Mike Kheir read more

I am so upset! I have tried to get a graphic designer to tutor me for a project this weekend and no response from 9 different tutors! What are the chances? This place is nothing but a shill and I am definitely not going to depend on any of the tutors to call. I will fail a final project if I don't get a tutor soon. read more

I make a solid income off this website, so the previous comments are true about not responding but sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. they have a phone number! call them! read more

I have been a tutor with this service for almost 2 years. For a small monthly fee ($15, much less expensive than others) I have found dozens of students that posted or have been contacted by students who read my profile. Most have been prospective teachers who needed help with the NYS certification exams but also some struggling with academic subjects. The service is primarily a message board where students and tutors can find each other. It's a shame that some tutors are unresponsive; that hurts them and the rest of us. But nothing is perfect, I suppose. I can't speak for those tutors or the staff at Tutor Select, but this service has worked very well for me. It's the Internet, so buyer beware, and seller too. I always reply with my phone number so the student and I can discuss their needs and determine whether we are a good fit. This gives both parties an opportunity to get to know each other, which is especially important with on-line tutoring. This service is NOT a shill or a scam, despite the unresponsive behavior of some tutors. I have worked with dozens of students and helped them achieve their goals. Please don't judge me or this site by a few bad apples. Thanks, Mike Bayer read more

Do not use this company. I wasgetting tutored for several months and paid over $2340 in cash. My tutor decided to breach our contract and longer will tutor me. I should of known better when a company doesn't have a phone to contact. I will be filing a 3939-A to the IRS for unpaid taxes and avoiding to report income. read more

Beware! After completing the required profile information, I found that I had to pay to subscribe to TutorSelect in order to receive its services. The charges should have been noted upfront! read more

I cannot believe how nonresponsive this website is to customer inquiry. It permits us to select prospective tutors in various locations close to where we are and contact them with their inquiry form online. However, after trying five different tutors, I received no reply whatsoever despite weeks going by. I even tried contacting the website itself and was ignored. This is one of those companies that either have not figured out how to make a functional website or do not really want any customers, given the lack of any response whatsoever. Just move on and skip this place. You'll save yourself the ridiculous waiting that was all for naught. read more

The previous comment is accurate. I registered to become a tutor in WI. Paid for a monthly subscription and the website booted me out. I tried to log-in with my password I registered with and the website would not allow me back in. I clicked forgot password and the website e-mailed me a link to reset. The link takes me to the original log-in screen so I am unable to reset a password which "I forgot." So I am unable to access my account, and my credit card has already been charged the monthly subscription fee. I sent a customer service inquiry online and have not yet heard back. This website is a sham. read more

I think one of the reasons that tutors doesn't reply is that when the tutors sign up for it because website advertise it and makes it seem like it's free to be a tutor through this website and after they put all the information and signed up,,, then the company try to charge the tutors monthly in order to actually read the messages from the students and whatsoever. Basically tutors can't use any features and functionality of the website without paying the company. That's why they end up not going through it and all left on the website are all the tutors list but empty, i mean like mostly. read more

I was in search of a class in which I reached out to multiple tutors who responded and was totally fooled by my choice. The tutors name was Thomas Kielbasinmiski and he advertised himself to know knowledge of a subject to find out he did not know the subject like you think a tutor would. He required to pay up front, first red flag, he then wasted three potential study sessions on googling questions on free websites and quiz me, again second red flag. I could have my husband quiz me if I wanted to do it that way. I then sent him a copy of an outline in which I wanted to study. The next session he cancelled and met again the following day to again quiz me on material that was not in any way relevant to what I was studying. He hung up on me during the sessions and e mailed me "I don't refund pain in the asses" and told me I had a lack ofunderstanding. Yes, I did have a lack of understanding that's why i hired a tutor to help me learn, to find out I knew more in the subject that the tutor I hired. I am really disappointed this site has people who portray to be someone they are not to rob poor college students out of money. I did end up finding a much better tutor on this website. It is not the website that gets this rating, it is the tutors on it who are falsely advertising themselves. read more
