Very happy with the tutors I have used!
I am a new customer and in the last 10 days I have used three tutors. Two of them have been outstanding. One was a very good tutor, but he just was not a fit for my child and I was happy to be able to use the one hour guarantee. I think the guarantee gives you a lot of confidence to try tutors, rather than looking for tutors on Craigslist or the internet. There are a lot of tutoring companies in Los Angeles and many of them are extremely expensive in the $100 to $200 an hour range. I was really happy to see that the tutors on WyzAnt were very reasonable and there was a wide variety to choose from. In addition, when you use a tutoring service, they choose the tutor for you. With WyzAnt, you read the profile and speak with the tutors directly so you know who you're hiring. Pros: Good variety Easy to use website Quantity discount Excellent quality tutors One hour guarantee Approved subject list (very helpful to verify tutor quality) Cons: Some tutors take a long time to reply to an initial email Photos missing or poor quality (I think photos help you feel more comfortable with meeting a stranger) It would be nice to get more education info like name of school, year graduated, major, G.P.A., as some tutors have very little listed. Not enough student feedback I found myself choosing the tutors that had the best quality photos, the most feedback, and the best written profile. The amount of information given in the profile really makes a difference in your ability to be able to properly choose the right tutor, and, the more detailed a profile is, the less likely it will be that you'll choose somebody who can't adequately fulfill your needs. People who have written a short, or narrow profile, I tend to stay away from. I also found I never chose a tutor with the missing photo; there's something about a photo that's reassuring. The other thing I found was that I was never attracted to profiles that were the most expensive or self aggrandizing but I was also not attracted to the lowest and/or cheapest. I found that the majority of tutors I wanted to contact were in the middle, came from "name-brand" private or well-known state schools, and had majors within their area of tutoring. For example, I would never choose a music major as a math tutor, even though they might be exceptionally good, if the profile didn't address it in the profile. Well, I hope you find my two cents helpful. I would, one hundred percent, recommend searching out tutors that fit your needs, I've had an outstanding experience so far.
We LOVE WyzAnt!!
My son has always has struggled a bit when it came to math, but this year starting 6th grade and moving on to algebra was awful for him from day 1. He is a smart kid over all, but when he looks at number and letters together, it's like a foreign language to him. His math teacher mentioned WyzAnt to us when we discussed finding a private tutor for him. He has currently been seeing Alicia for 2 weeks and in that time, his grade has gone from a 40% to an 89%. She explains math in a way that really makes it click for him and ALWAYS does it with a smile! She is so super great and I am so thankful that we found her. I can't even begin to imagine what his progress will be in a another month if this is the result of just 2 short weeks. WyzAnt has made this whole process, from finding a tutor to making a payment, really easy! We will 100% be sticking with Alicia for as long as she will have us! Hopefully all through his high school graduation. Woohoo for WyzAnt and Ms. Alicia! They rock!
Great Tutor
My experience with WyzAnt has been amazing. Theresa is a great tutor, always on time and makes sure you understands before you leave. I see my grades on papers and I get nothing but A's! I could not ask for a better service as WyzAnt nor a better tutor.
Great Tutor and Site
I was looking for a tutor for my son and a Google search came up with WyzAnt. So far, the experience has been great. It was easy to find a tutor in the categories I was looking for. The entire process from initial contact, communication, scheduling, and payment has been seamless. The tutor (Steve C.) is extremely knowledgeable, answers emails quickly, and is on time. My son has only had two sessions thus far, but I am extremely happy with what I have experienced.
Very Good Tutor Search
We have been very pleased with our experience with WyzAnt and could not be more pleased with the tutor(Jennifer H) that we selected!
User friendly
WyzAnt is a user friendly site. Initially, I had trouble navigating the site and payment options. However, the live telephone support guided me through this process. I will use WyzAnt for all of my tutor needs and will recommend WyzAnt to my classmates.
Great Tutor and Excellent Customer Support reps
Out tutor is excellent. She is very patient and polite, exactly what you are looking for in a tutor. We are so happy we chose her as a calculus tutor for our son. Thank you WyzAnt for bringing us together!
Great tutor
I was able to find a tutor quickly and very close to my house. I appreciate all the follow ups from WyzAnt and we are very pleased with Abraham. Thank you
Avery Austin has been excellent!
My daughter has been working with Avery for several weeks and we have seen a marked difference in her math grades. He is always so easy to get in touch with and very professional. We have already recommended Wyzant and specifically Avery to our friends. Thank you for your service and easy to use platform!
Easy Search and Helpful Tutors
My search for a tutor was rather easy. I just plugged in biology tutor and lots of sites came up. WyzAnt was very internet friendly and I had several tutors contact me. My tutor I chose has been very helpful, listens to my needs and knows the material and how to teach it. I like how I do not need to exchange money with the tutor but is all handled through WyzAnt. Also receiving receipt of payment and what my tutor went over is very helpful. Overall I am very satisfied with WyzAnt and would recommend their service to others. I would definitely use them again, hopefully this is my last time since I graduate from college this spring.
WyzAnt is awesome
I have never had to find a tutor before so was apprehensive about using an online site, and selecting a tutor without any references from friends or acquaintances. But I'm used to using online reviews to help me find other things (rental homes, good restaurants, well-liked doctors), so I figured I would give this a shot when my son told me he was struggling in algebra 2 and wanted a tutor. I love how easy it was to enter the subject and the distance from our house and gain a list of potential tutors. The information the tutor posted, the tutor hours logged, the hourly fee, and reviews helped me narrow the large field down to one person. It was easy to contact the tutor and set up an interview. We hit the jackpot, because my search paid off and I found someone who was able to help my son understand things he had been struggling with after only 3 one hour lessons. He got a B on his second test, after getting a D on his first, before he had a tutor! I'm so happy we found this site, and I'm sure to use it in the future if my children need tutors in other subjects. It is easy to make payments as well, and I love the reminders about each class and the summaries of what was worked on during each class from the tutor.
Tutor search success
I tried another search app and the individuals weren't as motivated as the ones on WyzAnt. I'm very pleased with my tutor search and selection. I'd use WyzAnt again.
Amazing Tutor and A Great Resource
This website is such a great resource. I have already recommended the website to several friends and plan on recommending the site to my students as well. In addition, Mrs. Barbara T. is an excellent tutor. In the short time my daughter has been working with Mrs. T., her confidence has grown and her grade in French Honors 3 is a solid B. On the last quiz, my daughter received an 85%. Her score was the best quiz score she has received all year. I highly recommend this website. We will definitely be utilizing Mrs. T. for the remainder of the year.
Great resource!
Working with WyzAnt has been wonderful - lots of responses for good tutors and more than enough choices for the right fit. Thanks for providing a service that makes this search user friendly, individualized, and personal all at the same time.
