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.

Rita A.

5 lessons

Before hiring him as a tutor I was actually considering dropping the course, even though I knew it was inevitable that I would have to retake it at some point in time. Nonetheless, I was so confused at the initiation of the course that I felt dropping it was the only option. Fortunately, I found Rich who was so much more than just a tutor. He was always available, encouraging and demonstrated a personal interest in my success.
Amy M.

7 lessons

She was always quick to respond to my emails and very flexible in working out a schedule. She arrived on time, prepared and organized, and got my daughter working hard. I loved how she worked closely with my daughter on all sections to discover her strengths and weaknesses. She was also great at breaking down the work into manageable pieces and assigning homework between sessions. Sonia is also very kind, patient, and encouraging.
Veronica C.

13 lessons

She always makes sure I understand the last problem we did before moving on to the next. She is very friendly and I find her style of teaching very soothing and encouraging as I am able to be myself and absorb the material at my own pace. She encourages me to speak up if I think she is going too fast or if I don't understand something so that I don't feel overwhelmed as I am learning.
