  How much does tutoring cost through WyzAnt?

  Answer:

  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.

Tutees that work with me work hard and have fun at the same time. We will break down concepts into small parts then build them back up again. I have patience and a keen understanding of what students need. The sooner you sign up the sooner we can begin to bring clarity back into your academic life.

• elementary (k-6th)

  As a private tutor for k-6th students I taught students math, reading comprehension, study skills, social studies and reading using whole language and phonics methods. We worked on composition and getting ideas on paper or computer. I used the Qualitative Reading Inventory to assess my students at first sessions. In math three digit subtraction has been difficult for many students. I use a grid for the minuhend and subtrahend to find the difference. Steps for 3 digit subtraction include 1) draw grid & write H.T.O above grid for (hundreds,tens, and ones respectively. 2) insert minuhend and subtrahend 3)begin 4)regroup when necessary 5)cross off number in tens or hundreds place regroup that 10 or hundred and place it above grid. Check work by adding. It is ok to draw grids for students who are just learning or delayed in fine motor skill development. Large school classes can be overwhelming for some students . They also may not have had their successes praised at home or in school and lost confidence or self esteem. I have my masters in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I have tutored in centers and 1-1 and I can bring students back on-task in creative and unique ways. Thank you, Jonathan A. Tobias

• phonics

  To whom it may concern, I went to a graduate school that aligned with the "whole language" philosophy. In the classroom it is undoubtedly effective for a certain percentage of the class to learn from the text in recipes,charts and captions that are posted in the room. As a head teacher I set up my classroom in this manner. I later learned more about processing through teaching & especially tutoring. (expressive and receptive language) I studied phonemic awareness and at a tutoring center, the supervisor said teach "the silent e rule." Practice long and short vowels were the instructions. Phonics has helped many struggling readers. If a child can sound out a word and internalize the rules of phonics they can then read for meaning and understand passages from context.

• study skills

  To whom it may Concern, Study skills include motivation,organization, and the establishing of a daily routine or regimen. I have recommended various steps for students (and their parents) to take. Perhaps the parent has a business at home and the child is doing homework in front of the television. This would have to change. However, the technique is not a punitive one. Perhaps there is an after school study group, this would be one way to go. I would also make an evening schedule which included all household members. The parent might be able to group her calls so as to free up time for home work supervision. If the child was k-3rd grade (every child is unique) more direct assistance would be required.
