Schedule Requirements: Availability & Time Off
Adjunct Tutors are required to post at least 16 hours of adjunct primetime availability on their calendar each week in order to reach their delivery goal of at least 12 hours. Availability should be consistent from week to week. Availability must be posted in 4+ hour chunks within the adjunct primetime blocks listed below. Adjunct tutors may not post availability outside of the primetime hours listed below. At least 8 hours must be posted on weekends, and tutors must post at least nine months into the future at all times. This availability ensures we have ample time to schedule sessions well in advance. Tutors must submit a request for time off at least four weeks in advance for approval.
Adjunct Prime Time Availability

Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time

The number of hours of availability posted does not necessarily equate to the actual number of paid hours worked but improves your ability to receive new student assignments. Actual hours worked are highly dependent on a tutors’ proactivity with families, individual subject coverage, quality of instruction, and availability. Hours also fluctuate based on sales volume and seasonality.
