What is Juni Learning?
Juni Learning is a tutoring platform, which specializes in teaching kids coding, math and college test preparation.
Juni Learning review
Unlike most tutoring platforms, Juni Learning hires its tutors as W-2 employees.
That means that in addition to your pay, the site pays Social Security and Medicare taxes on your behalf –a valuable benefit. And, it means that taxes are taken out of your wages, which is also helpful at tax time.
Hours are flexible, however. And all tutoring is done online, so there’s no geographic limitation on who can apply. The site also provides the curriculum.
Pay
Wages start at $20 an hour, with the potential for raises and bonuses. The site also offers some full-time (30 hours weekly) positions that pay up to $30 an hour.
Looking for college students
Juni Learning is mainly interested in hiring college students. That’s because the founders believe that college kids are more relatable to the site’s students, who range in age from eight-to-18. As a result, even though Juni’s tutors are employees, many of them work part-time schedules.
Tutors say they can schedule hours around their college classes. But the site offers both part-time and full-time positions.
Rave reviews
Notably, both tutors and students rave about this site. Tutors say the jobs are attractive and flexible. Students say the site makes learning fun.
Recommendations
Not surprisingly, we highly recommend this site to anyone who is interested in math or coding — teachers and students alike. You can sign up with Juni Learning here.
Other good sites for tutors include Wyzant and TutorOcean.
What their tutors say (from Indeed)
Working as a computer science instructor for Juni was a decent way to make some money while I was still in university. The hours were flexible and the pay was decent, especially compared to other part-time jobs. Some negatives were being messaged on Slack for the most minor problems when not working. And for always being expected to accommodate last minute schedule changes due to student cancellations. But, if you have to cancel because you have an emergency come up yourself, they passive aggressively ask you if you’re sure you can’t make the lesson.
Flexible hours and many opportunities to work with different students. Curriculum is easily accessible, which makes your job as a tutor with students much easier
Love tutoring here
I really love working at Juni. You’re able to pick your hours, which is great when you’re a college student like myself. The staff is also very helpful, and the curriculum provided makes my job so much easier.
Great company with friendly staff. Overall happy to work there and teaching kids and teenagers can be extremely rewarding. Flexible schedule & easy communication.
(from Glassdoor)
Extremely flexible scheduling around classes. Pre-set curriculum/resources making it really easy to teach. Strong support system. Well organized But pay is not very high for a computer science tutor, you could get paid much more for doing the same work elsewhere/as an individual
Lessons are very regular (no surprises for the most part). Great bonuses for referrals, and successful trial lessons. Parents can schedule makeup lessons or trials in any of your free time, if it is not blocked off on Google Calendar. So make sure to be strict with your time availabilities.
