Hi everyone,

I’ve just received a job offer as an AI Tutor. The contract is a "Contractor Services Agreement" (meaning I’ll be an independent contractor, not an employee).

I have a few doubts and I’m hoping someone currently working in this field can help me out:

• Working Hours: In the welcome email, they mentioned that the first few weeks are "critical" and that I need to be "proactive and responsive." In your experience with these AI Tutoring roles, is there a minimum number of fixed hours, or is it strictly task-based whenever you want? Are there set schedules, despite it being a freelance contract?
• Compatibility: I currently have another job. Since this is a contractor role, is it feasible to manage both in the afternoons/evenings, or does it require a constant presence during US time zones?
• Reliability: I can’t find many people with this specific role on LinkedIn. Does anyone have direct experience with this company or with these types of contracts through Remote.com?
• Time Off: I know that as a contractor, leave is unpaid, but how is absence usually handled (e.g., taking 2-3 days off in August) in these types of collaborations?

Does anyone know if tasks are assigned individually, or is it more of a 'first-come, first-served' race to grab them on the portal?

The contract states I can terminate with just one day's notice, which is reassuring, but I don’t want to end up in a complicated situation for a job that might require hours I can't commit to.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some advice!
