  Question:

  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.

Hi. My name is Aaron and I'm a tutor in Memphis. I specialize in ESL, but I am also proficient in mainstream language arts and computers. I have taught for 5 years now, including 3 years in Poland and 1 in South Korea. I've taught students of all ages, from 11 to 61.

I try my best to employ what is called an inductive method of teaching, where meaning is constructed rather than simply delivered. It leads to deeper and more meaningful understanding of the content. In this method, students are expected to actively question the material and pay attention to learning strategies (which I teach explicitly), in order to track progress and identify misunderstanding when it happens.

Homework is important, but it should not always be simple repetition. Homework should reinforce the lesson and extend beyond its confines. I believe that homework should benefit the student and not the teacher.

My degree is in Theatre. I am currently perusing my Master's degree in Teaching from the University of Memphis.

• ESL/ESOL

  I've taught ESL for five years. I've passed the Praxis II exam in this content area and I'm progressing towards my Master's degree in this field. I've studied phonics, phonetics, reading strategies, vocabulary development, grammar, syntax, and even style. I understand the influence of the first language and I know specific strategies to overcome that influence.
