WyzAnt is an in-home tutoring service designed to match up tutors and students locally. However, if you have a student who prefers virtual tutoring tutoring, you are welcome to use the WyzAnt system to work with that student.
A:
Once you have logged into your account, select Find Tutoring Jobs under the Tutors menu. If you find an interesting opportunity on this page, simply reply to the student noting your interested and qualifications. Alternatively, you may enter your zip code and a subject you tutor to perform a search for interested students as far as 40 miles from where you live.
A:
We leave this to your discretion. If you wish to offer a first lesson at no charge, that is fine with us. However, the student will still need to have a credit card on file with WyzAnt prior to the first meeting. In order to make sure this first lesson is free for the student, do not enter the lesson into the system.
A:
Yes, but only if that tutor is in the WyzAnt network.
A:
After you give a lesson to a student, you are responsible for reporting your hours to WyzAnt. To do this, click the Submit Lesson link under the My Account menu. Once you submit your lesson, we will email the details to the student so that the student can verify their accuracy.
By default, WyzAnt issues payment via direct deposit or check on the 1st and the 15th of each month. If you sign up for direct deposit, you may also receive payments on a daily basis excluding weekend and holidays. No matter how you choose to be paid, payments will consist of all lessons entered prior to five (5) days before the payment date. For example, all lessons entered before the 10th of a given month will be paid out on the 15th of that month.

To deactivate or reactivate your account, you can adjust your Account Status under the My Account menu.
By making your account inactive, you will still be able to communicate and work with your current students; however, you will not appear in searches conducted by new students.
A:
No, our policy requires that you use your WyzAnt email address for all email correspondence with your student. This is a very important policy since it protects both tutors and students in the event of scheduling misunderstandings, session cancellations, payment disputes, and rate changes.
A:
To edit the details of a previously submitted session, go to the Lesson History page under the My Account menu. Select View Details next to the session you wish to review and click Edit Session to adjust the details for that session.
A:
If you have deactivated your profile, WyzAnt has removed your profile from our website. All major search engines keep a cache of web pages, however, so your profile may still show up for a few days. As soon as the cache is updated your profile will disappear. There is nothing we can do to expedite this process.
A:
Unless you have an alternate arrangement with the customer, please consider the start time as the time when you start the lesson. If you have to wait for the tutoring to begin, even after the agreed upon start time, you can consider the time at which you arrived to be the start time.
A:
You may update your lesson availability by following the Availability link under the My Account menu.
A:
You may change your personal information by clicking Change Information under the My Account menu. You may also edit your profile details including your free response, picture, hourly rate and more by clicking on the My Account tab.
A:
Your new hourly rate will only be applied to new students. If you have already begun an email dialog with a student, the hourly rate you offered at the beginning of that correspondence will be locked in for that student. The reason for this policy is that it would be unfair for the student to have your hourly rate change once they started emailing with you. If you have reached a agreement with a particular student to adjust your hourly rate, please send us an email to info@wyzant.com with the pertinent information so that we may make the change.
A:
If we still need this information from you, you will see the Submit SSN option under the My Account menu. Please note that you will be required to enter this information after you have earned $50 or more with WyzAnt.
A:
These menus only show your current students. To manage your students, please click on My Profile located under the My Account tab and take a look at the Your Students section. At the top of this section, there is a check-box titled Show Only Current Students. Un-click this box to reveal all the students you have emailed or tutored through WyzAnt. Scroll down the list until you find the student you are looking for and click the Add To Current option next to his/her name. You will now be able to submit a lesson or email this student. Similarly, if you have stopped actively working with a student and want to remove him/her from your current students list, simply click the option Remove From Current next to the student's name.

At WyzAnt, our goal is to help you connect with current and new students as quickly and easily as possible. If you are interested in receiving immediate updates by text message anytime a student emails you or anytime a new job is available in your area, sign up for text message alerts. Simply login and go to your My Account page. At the bottom of the Tutoring Info section, you will see a link to sign up for text message alerts. Please note that standard text messaging fees set by your carrier will apply.

Yes, any tutoring you do through WyzAnt is independent of tutoring opportunities you find through other means. Any lessons you give to students you find through WyzAnt must always be logged in the system, however.
