Payment Questions

A: Tutors set their own rate and most range in price from $30 to $50 per hour, with others either lower or higher depending on experience and cost of living considerations. However, WyzAnt does offer discounts to our students for making an advance purchase.
    • You receive a 5% discount on packages of $200-$399, with a total cost of $190-$379.
    • A package of lessons that would cost $400-$999 will receive a 10% discount, resulting in an upfront charge of $360-$899.
    • A package worth $1,000-$2,499 will be eligible for a 15% discount, with a total cost of $850-$2124.
    • Packages of $2,500+ will receive a 20% discount and cost $2,000 and up.
    Remember, satisfaction with your first hour of tutoring is guaranteed and the unused portion of your purchase amount is both refundable and transferable to any WyzAnt tutor.
A: WyzAnt has this policy for two reasons. First, it helps ensure the legitimacy of the inquiries our tutors receive. Second, it provides WyzAnt with a means of collecting payment for tutoring lessons after they occur. Your credit card information will be encrypted in our database for added security and charges will only be made at your discretion or after a tutor submits a lesson review.
A: In order to meet with a WyzAnt tutor, you must first add billing information to your account. Please note that no charges will occur until after a lesson takes place. We leave it up to our tutors to decide if they are willing to conduct an in-person interview without charging. Provided you have entered billing information and your tutor is willing to conduct a free consultation, you may schedule an appointment directly with your tutor.
A: The easiest method of payment is by credit card via WyzAnt’s secure website. Once you have found a suitable tutor, just enter your credit card information through your WyzAnt account. As soon as WyzAnt receives and verifies this credit card information, you will be able to set up the first lesson with your tutor.
A: Yes, many of our customers purchase a tutoring credit package and enjoy discounts of 5-20%. For more information, please refer to our tutoring packages listed below:

Credit Purchased You Pay Discount
$200 - $399 $190 - $379 5%
$400 - $999 $360 - $899 10%
$1000 - $2499 $850 - $2124 15%
$2500 + $2000 + 20%

To purchase a tutoring package, simply login to your WyzAnt account and navigate to the secure payment page. After each lesson, your account will be debited the appropriate amount.
A: Yes, but WyzAnt will have to receive your check before your tutoring lesson. Please leave plenty of time or WyzAnt may have to notify your tutor to delay starting the lessons until payment has been received. Please make checks payable to WyzAnt, Inc., and mail to:
1714 N Damen Ave
Suite 3N
Chicago, IL 60647
A: You are in fact receiving the discount. Here’s how: Let’s assume you purchased the $400 credit package and you paid $360. Let’s also say your tutor’s rate is $40 per hour. After a one hour lesson, $40 is debited from your WyzAnt credit. Remember, you got $400 in credit but paid only $360, so you received your 10% discount upfront when we gave you a free $40 in credit.
A: No, all payment must be made through WyzAnt. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with this policy.
A: WyzAnt will always refund the unused portion of your purchase amount.

WyzAnt Tutors

A: WyzAnt goes to great lengths to ensure quality among our pool of tutors. We screen all of our tutors via a thorough application process that includes proficiency testing, interviews, and random background checks.
A: WyzAnt is so confident that you will enjoy your experience that we offer your first hour of tutoring risk-free. If you are unhappy with your tutor after the first hour, just let us know and we will refund your purchase. Did you already buy a tutor package? No problem, we will refund the unused portion of your purchase, too. Would you like help finding a different tutor instead of a refund? We can help find you another tutor at no additional cost.

Questions About Tutoring Lessons

A: No, WyzAnt is an in-home tutoring company. We offer a full service website to help find a tutor and manage your account with us online, however.
A: The majority of our customers host the tutoring sessions in their homes. This arrangement has proven to be beneficial in providing the student with a familiar, comfortable, and relaxed learning environment. Provided your tutor agrees, you may have your tutoring lessons at a convenient public location such as a library, church, or coffee shop.
A: You can make the scheduling arrangements by conversing with your tutor via email. Once you are ready to begin lessons, or exchange phone numbers with a tutor, please add billing information to your account. If you have any questions regarding payment, please call the WyzAnt office at 1-877-WyzAnt-1.

Account Questions

A: After each lesson, your tutor will login to WyzAnt.com and enter the start-time and end-time for your lesson. As a WyzAnt client, you have access to an online account that allows you to view your current balance and all tutoring activity entered by the tutor. Additionally, you will get an email after each tutoring lesson notifying you of the hours that the tutor enters so you can be sure your account remains accurate.
A: Of course! When you purchase WyzAnt credit, you can use this credit however you please. For instance, perhaps your daughter gets regular physics tutoring but your son has a huge Spanish test at the end of the week. In this case, you can simply login to your account to find a qualified Spanish tutor in your area and use the same credit for any future lessons.
A: The easiest way to get this issue corrected is to contact the tutor directly. The tutor can then go into WyzAnt.com and adjust the lesson details to accurately reflect the correct dates/times. If you have trouble reaching an agreement with your tutor as to the appropriate dates/times, please contact WyzAnt and we will be happy to help.
