It sounds like the pay is pretty good compared to other online tutoring stuff. In grad school I was an online tutor for Pearson for 3-4 years and the pay was minimum wage.
I hated every minute of it. You would log onto a creaky old system (one entire year their scheduling system was down and we had to sign up for hours by filling out a google form) then download a rnadomly assigned college paper. You were expected to critique it in 30 minutes and give feedback using their very specific format. There was often little context to the papers or what the actual assignment was. I would often get nursing papers full of all kinds of medical things I didn't know anything about.
Then you would get evaluated by your suprevisor and emails about how long you took per paper. So there was constant pressure and it sucked so much.
