Outstanding Tutor Search
I have been extremely impressed with the tutors that I have used through WyzAnt. They have been very professional and have proven to be flexible when it comes to scheduling. I also believe that the hourly rates for the tutors are very reasonable. When it comes to adding additional money for future tutor hours, I can not say enough good things about the WyzAnt customer service center. The customer service agents have been very responsive and helpful.
No More Fighting Over Math
I was looking for a tutor for my niece for refresher Algebra to help her after a disastrous year in geometry and the upcoming school year. She’d had a lazy, boring and apathetic math teacher in 10th grade that was far more interested in coaching golf than teaching kids. Her grade took a nose-dive and her self confidence went with it. She had previously been a pretty good math student so I didn’t think she was incapable, just needed help and especially with someone she didn’t have to fight with and "got it." I talked to some of the Sylvan-type programs and even had a pretty good recommendation from a friend but didn’t think she needed 2,500 hours worth of tutoring, nor did I want to make the $10,000 commitment they required so I Googled "tutors" in her town. WyzAnt came up. I was very skeptical at first but looked around, checked them out on some chat boards and at the Better Business Bureau and thought it was worth a try. When we started out, I picked out 3 tutors I thought looked appropriate for her needs and let her "interview" them and pick the one she felt was the best fit. The biggest win for us is she LOVES her tutor, gives her the highest rating every time they meet and is making progress in her class this year. She gets one-on-one help with her specific class curriculum, not the "program" handed down by the "home office." Payment is super-easy; I like the "pay-as-you-go" plan and think the fees charged are very fair.
Great tutor
It was easy to find a local tutor, and a great one, our overall experience was great. Payment method is easy, customer support is polite and helpful.
Great idea for finding tutors
When I went looking for a tutor for my grandson, I didn't know where to start. My search brought me to WyzAnt. I wasn't sure how it would work, but I soon learned it is very easy and I got to look up and see which tutor I thought would best fit my grandson. I contacted him and got a reply quickly. Setting up payments is easy and they only charge you after the lesson. They keep you up to date on everything and the tutor has helped my grandson greatly.
A Great Tool to Get Help for Your Kids
It's terrific to have a place to go where tutors and parents can meet up in an environment where WyzAnt has done the background work, and you can communicate with prospective tutors to find the right match for your child's needs. For me, finding someone qualified was only step one. WyzAnt provides a means to search for an individual who is a good match for your child's personal style and learning needs, as well as the tutor's "fit" with your child. WyzAnt provides a forum where you can get information you need about the tutor and then communicate personally with the tutor for follow up. I like that there is no obligation and that WyzAnt is there if you need them. I also find the fact that payment is made easy and automatic to be a plus, and the opportunity for discounts means I can afford to provide my child the full help he needs. Communication has been good, and I like the follow up after each session. Every prospective tutor I talked to before determining the right one for our family was open and eager to know about my child's needs. I got the feeling that they want to help and give your child the boost they may need. WyzAnt serves as a conduit worth exploring, and I will use them again if I need a tutor.
WyzAnt's convenience, flexibility and tutor search and selection are a winning combination!
I wish this had been around when my child was younger. I live in a rural area and it was difficult to find a tutor nearby. Using WyzAnt this time, numerous qualified tutors responded in surrounding communities, allowing us to pick one that would work around my teenage sons school, band, and work schedule. What I really like is the on-line feedback after every session with the tutor, and the on-line payment feature.
Great website and easy to use
I was very impressed with the tutor we found through your website. She has been on time and very pleasant to work with. She is very good with children and gets right down to business. She has helped my daughter understand the math concepts and not just complete the homework. I like that we were able to find a tutor that specializes in specific subjects. The tutor goes over my daughter's work to see where there might be a problem area. They go over the homework, review tests, and go over the concepts to see that she can show all of her work and how she arrived an at an answer. The tutor also said she would be happy to speak with the teacher if it was needed. I also like the convenience of setting up the account and the billing. I have paid in increments and have not had any problems. I have even referred another family who became new customers of yours. I will continue to use your services and the tutor through your site.
Great Tutor Search and Selection
My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech and mild right-sided Cerebral Palsy. This diagnosis puts her at risk educationally since she is mute and cannot write at this point. Because Apraxia with no cognitive delays is a rare condition, it seemed impossible to locate the right tutor to assist her. Until we found WyzAnt. We instantly found tutors that could understand and teach American Sign Language (ASL) and had special education training. The tutor we chose even had experience as an Individual Assistant for a kindergartner with special needs. Kindergarten readiness is our focus after all. Local Rates for tutoring businesses are around $65.00 per hour. We pay $40.00 per hour for someone with higher qualifications. We started immediately and found the payment options wonderful. We appreciate not having to exchange funds directly and the computer program was easy to use. We also appreciate being able to rate the lesson so that the tutor has feedback. We highly recommend your company and feel blessed by your services.
Good selection of tutors and easy search functionality
After having limited luck at the Fremont public high school in California where the teachers themselves recommended external tutors, we needed to find different tutors for my son currently in High School. WYZANT is a very comprehensive and easy to use search engine and platform. Offering great and flexible service for our search. The best part is that tutors do reply rather quickly and payment is easy and through WYZANT so that it is convenience and easy.
Invaluable service, great tutor search
I stumbled on this website in desperation in finding a calculus tutor for my daughter, who is a senior in high school. I loved how easy it was to find a tutor that is so close and that comes to our home for the lessons. The ease of use of WyzAnt is genius and we are so thankful to have found it. Once I found the website, it only took a minute to sign up and within the day I had 4 possible tutors for my daughter. The payment system is great, no money changing hands directly with the tutor and the entire tutor time is not taken up with those kinds of details. After the first lesson, my daughter got a 92 on her next test! She was thrilled! I was able to find an extremely qualified instructor from our area, a retired math teacher, no less, and my daughter loves that the lessons are done in our home. WyzAnt provides an invaluable service one that I can't recommend enough and I do recommend it to anyone who is searching for a tutor.
