Tutor Hiring Safety Tips

WyzAnt understands how important safety is when you're hiring a tutor, and we recommend you take the following steps to ensure a secure experience.

Order background checks

Before hiring a tutor, you should run a background check. For just $7.99, you can run a background check that covers Social Security number verification, felonies, sex crimes and certain misdemeanors. Learn more

Review student feedback

Look at the Student Feedback section of the tutor profile to see lesson ratings (1 to 5 stars) and student reviews from previous customers. You are also free to request outside references from the tutor.

Schedule first meeting in public (for in-person tutoring)

If you have any hesitation about meeting with a tutor in private, you are encouraged to have the first meeting in a public location such as a library or coffee shop.

Have an adult present

An adult should always be present for tutoring sessions if the student is under the age of eighteen.

Keep personal information private

Do not exchange personal contact information until you are completely comfortable and until you have payment information on file with WyzAnt.
