Tutor shifts are a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 8 hours in length.
Shifts are scheduled according to the topics you are able to tutor, your availability, and the expected demand on the platform.
Your availability blocks are consistent (and only changed on consultation with Paper e.g. if your University class schedule changes in a new semester).
Each week, you will be required to set your availability within your selected blocks (chosen below) through your Paper Tutor profile. Note that you can only set availability within your selected block each day.
For example, let’s say you have selected BLOCK 1 (7am-5pm EST) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you do not want to work early mornings, you can select, for example, 10am-5pm, as this time falls within your selected availability block. Then, based on the expected platform demand, you might be scheduled from 10am-2pm or 10:30am -4:30pm or 12pm-5pm, etc. You may be scheduled all or some days you have set this availability, or you may not be scheduled at all depending on the expected demand on the platform.
All blocks are in Eastern Standard Time (EST)
