Success stories

Real stories from real people

Since 2005, Wyzant has provided a way for people to learn any subject in a way that works for them.

Mary W.

82 lessons

The school recommended that Amarie repeat 1st grade. Our family knew that this would devastate Amarie. She just needed a little extra help. Aside from the hearing issue, Amarie feels easily defeated when she gets something wrong. I spoke with Amarie's Mom (my cousin Jade) and we agreed that a home tutor could help. Amarie really loves Julie. She told me she feels smart now that she has her own 'teacher'. I look forward to working more with Julie.

My 1st grade twins use to lack confidence in their abilities and really struggle with their schoolwork with lots of tears and frustration. But since Roberta has started with them, the tears and frustration are gone! They actually look forward to her coming over. Roberta makes the learning fun for them and is very patient and warm. She determined where my twins need the help and always comes with a plan in mind each session.
Suzy S.

11 lessons

Mary helped my son for about 4 months. We felt that he was behind with his reading and writing at the beginning of 1st grade. She helped him not only with these skills, but also with his self-confidence. She always had a bag full of activities to work on and was very open to my input when I had recommendations of what I wanted them to focus on. She was also very accommodating with our busy schedule and even brought snacks for him (when we forgot to pack one).
