Great tutor for ACT

Wyzant helped in finding a great tutor for the ACT. The process was fast and easy. I would highly recommend this service.

- John from Ellicott City, MD
Sucessful search for tutor

It took me a long time to find a Java tutor but I did and I am very satisfied with his mastery of Java and his rate is reasonable, Payment plan seems to be working fine. I would refer WyZant to others. I am glad I found your site.

At Last- a Great Tutor!

My high schooler has struggled with math throughout her school career. Unfortunately, she was 'passed on' year after year, squeaking by on adequate FCAT scores, but never really doing well. The turning point was her freshman year with a disengaged, burned out algebra teacher. She fell even further behind. We engaged a private tutor, but were very discouraged by the lack of consistency. We then tried another tutoring service which selects tutors for students. The first tutor left abruptly after only 4 months. The second tutor assigned to us was disastrous. Not only did she not attempt to understand what she was supposed to be teaching my daughter, her English skills were limited and hampered understanding even more. Tutor 3 was excellent, but found another, higher paying job after 4 months. We learned that this tutor had given a month's notice but no replacement was found by the time she had to leave. The owner of the tutoring franchise did not return phone calls. I finally found WyzAnt and our current tutor. He is a middle school teacher in our county, is patient and kind, and my daughter's Algebra 2 scores have already improved significantly. We are happy thus far with his performance and I was very comfortable with the WyzAnt model for searching/selecting tutors. I also appreciate the indirect payment method.

An excellent way to find excellent tutors

Wyzant has been most helpful in finding qualified tutors, and clients can check out student reviews on the tutors. Wyzant, you are the amazon.com of tutoring! I especially like your features which include the background checks, and requiring qualifying exams for the tutors. Payment is easy and affordable in most cases. Thank you, Wyzant.

Great response and tutor help

Needed a tutor same day - found one and was contacted within 1 hour and had someone that afternoon - has been tremendous help!

Quality and Experience of WyzAnt Tutors

I am blessed with having the right tutors for my daughter through WyzAnt. The quality and experience of the tutors is excellent. With the help of WyzAnt tutors, my daughter has a good grasp of the subject. You compare tutors first and you can try different tutors till you find the perfect tutor. Sometimes you get the right tutor from the first try. Tutors come to your home or office and payment is deducted automatically from your credit card on file after the lesson is done. The tutor sends you an e-mail with the lesson to review with the hours spent on the lesson after he/she leaves your home/office. It is convenient that the payment gets deducted afterward from your credit card on file with WyzAnt. By the way, WyzAnt tutors are always accurate in their time spent with student computation. It is a wonderful service.

- Nadra from San Diego, CA
Never a bad experience.

I have used Wyzant for the last 2 years and each tutor for each subject was well versed. I am so glad I found this website it has surely saved me from many stressful situations.

- Kimberly from Long Beach, CA
Great Service

I'm so happy that I found WyzAnt. Finding a tutor was very easy and we love the tutor that we are using. Payment is also very easy. Great job, thanks.

Finding a good fit for your student

Finding good tutors is especially important to us because my daughter is home schooled. We needed tutors in a couple of different subjects and were able to find good ones through WyzAnt. I like the fact that the selection is so large; we were able to find a good fit at a good price. There was one tutor who, although she wasn't doing a bad job, did not leave my child very excited about the lessons. We discontinued working with her and easily found another tutor from WyzAnt who made the subject exciting and vivid. My daughter looks forward to these lessons. So sometimes it can take a little work to find just the right tutor to get your kid excited about learning but it is easy to do through WyzAnt. We are very happy with their services.

- Lisa from Chicago, IL
Great tutor search and selection

I have found my experience with WyzAnt to be very positive. I was happy with the tutor selection process and how quickly the tutors responded to my posting. Brian has been a wonderful resource for my son and is a polite, responsible and very accommodating young man who is genuinely interested in my son's success in his lessons. I have found the payment process to be easy and hassle free and I feel good about knowing that I am dealing with a reputable company who makes sure that my billing information is secure.

- Lynn from Mountain Top, PA
I've started recommending it to my friends

Teachers are excellent with WyzAnt. Their availability is very flexible. More choices of teachers available for most of the subjects. For some subject areas WyzAnt needs more teachers. For example, AP English. The first time I thought it was just a simple website. But, as and when I get more choices of tutors and excellent customer service, I decided to stay with WyzAnt. I've started recommending it to my friends also. Payment is very smooth and easy with credit card. They charge exactly what they promise. I have used websites and their services from care.com, sylvan learning and Whizard Academy. The overall experience with WyzAnt is excellent and far better than others. One complaint: There should be a printing feature that would allow us to print all the payment history in a report form in the printer. For example, I want to print a report on how much I paid to whom and how many hours in a printer not on the screen only. Thanks, Usha

- Usha from Cary, NC
Great tutor search

Overall great tutor search and selection understanding more than I did before. Very knowledgeable and comes more than prepared. My tutor was in contact with as soon as I posted for a tutor. The payment system works well in notifying of payments. Call centers are helpful and friendly. I am also interested in getting a package deal.

- Sara from Pawtucket, RI
Good Tutor Search and Selection

WyzAnt has a good selection of tutors to select from who all seem very competent. Also they have a very good customer support system, that are able to take care of any questions you may have.

- Jackie from Canton, OH
A great service

This website was very easy to use to find a great tutor and really was a life saver! Prior to using this site we looked into the local learning centers. The hourly one-on-one tutoring fee at a learning center is much higher than even the highest tutor on this site. We are very happy with the tutor we found here.

- Nancy from Frisco, TX
Happy with tutor

I was looking for a tutor for a young child who has ADHD, and learning problems in Math. I chose the tutor as she indicated that she had experience with these kind of problems. Even though I am a teacher I found the tutor did a much better job than I could. She engaged him at the beginning with games, and was able to redirect his attention when he strayed. Probably one of the more important aspects is that if he does not understand things presented one way, she shows him various other ways. He still is struggling, because his problems will not be easily overcome, but he feels much more successful. There was one time when the tutor was not available and he started complaining, "Where is Noelia? I need her NOW!" It was very easy to find a tutor as each tutor's biography is presented, and while I have not done this, there is the ability to switch to a different tutor. Payment is extremely simple as I just put this on my credit card and the rest is completed by WyzAnt. The customer service is good and while I have no complaints, the customer service has contacted me to make certain that all is going well. I would recommend WyzAnt to all those who need a short term or long term educational boost.

- Georgia from Chula Vista, CA
WyzAnt suits my needs perfectly

WyzAnt has made finding a tutor very easy. The procedure for making the payments are great. I have the ability to buy as little or as many lessons as I want. There are no huge upfront payments or purchases of packages required. For the first time ever my daughter has not been completely lost. Marti is a very good tutor who is very patient.

- Romney from Palmdale, CA
Great tutor and very helpful customer support reps thank you

I really appreciate your services and I have told other people about you and my experience. I don't what I would have done if weren't for WyzAnt thanks again and deeply appreciate it you and my son appreciates you. Thanks to the tutor and also we just you to know that there has been great improvement in my son that is so far hopefully it will continue to improve more.

- Elois from Daly City, CA
Easy, excellent service and a great tutor

We're new to the area and although our daughter is an excellent student, my wife and I were looking for extra help since we can no longer help her in math. We found WyzAnt through the internet, and we chose one of the many tutors that responded to our request for help. Our daughter couldn't be happier and she's finding math one of her easier subjects. The system is easy, paying is convenient, and the results are nothing short of amazing. If there are any other subjects that require assistance, I wouldn't think twice of contacting WyzAnt for additional tutors.

- Michael from San Jose, CA
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.

- Julie from Rochester, MN
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.

- Anil from Littleton, CO
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.

- Lisa from Dallas, TX
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.

- Cathy from Marengo, IL
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.

- Renee from Madison, MS
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.

- Steven from Fremont, CA
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.

- Charlsi from Keller, TX
Great resource to find tutors

I absolutely love this service and website you have put together. I had no idea how to go about searching for a tutor and found this site via a search engine. It has been such a pleasant, easy process. The tutor I have is VERY good. She is really helping my daughter with Pre-Algebra and bringing up her grade. My daughter finds the tutor's explanations easier to understand then her own Math teacher; she is starting to feel more confident in herself and her ability to do Math. The tutor is always on time, very accommodating when my schedule changes and is very professional. I am truly blessed to have found this tutor. The Payment Method via the website is so convenient and easy. It is also a great way to keep track of past tutoring sessions. I can't really think of any improvement ideas as I am so happy with the whole entire process. I would definitely recommend this to any of my friends or family seeking tutoring help. Your service has found a great way to make a difficult process easy. Congratulations. You have one happy customer in me.

- Stacy from Evansville, IN
I am very happy with this website and have told many friends about it!

My son was failing pre-calc and Honors Chemistry and after four weeks of tutoring he has brought his grades up to a C and hopefully a B by the end of the marking period. His tutor also gave him one on one tutoring for the PSAT and they will be working on the SATs which he takes in the Spring. Finally, my son's outlook about the eleventh grade has improved. He has gained a lot of confidence. He really likes his tutor and looks forward to his tutoring sessions. Thanks!

- Deborah from Fairfield, CA
Great Tutor

William C. has made a huge difference in my daughter's Geometry understanding. Haley has more confidence and looks forward to her tutoring session with William - he has a natural teaching talent. He is able to explain and break down problems into understandable structures for Haley. William is very reliable and punctual. Payment set up before is easy and convenient. I tried another tutoring service and left frustrated. We are very grateful for the WyzAnt Service for making the process of finding the right tutor for our daughter painless.

- Beverly from Dallas, TX
LOVE this service

I find this service much easier to use than our previous company who took too long to find us a suitable tutor and always billed us incorrectly. We have had such quick responses from tutors we were interested in and have been so pleased with Helen A and Ricardo M. Both are knowledgeable in their subjects, courteous and responsible with timely communication and both seem to genuinely care about my children's success on homework and tests. I've prepaid for sessions, save quite a bit of money and love the ease of the billing system! A+++

- Leigh from Spring, TX
Excellent and Patient Tutor

I contacted WyzAnt after my son started to have trouble with Algebra 2. Math is not my son's best subject but we both struggled with it together. This school year I decided that I wasn't going to struggle with it anymore. And, Boy! Am I happy that I found the WyzAnt site! My son was making E's on his homework, classwork, and warm up assignments. He is now making A's on each assignment because of the excellent tutor that I found with WyzAnt. Ho J. is very patient, and he listens to me in regard to my expectation for my son with math, but he also listens to my son and treats him respect. He is always on time, and willing to offer help in anyway that he can. I hope we can keep him until my son finish's high school and all through college. My son actually gets math now. The lightbulb is flashing brightly because of the great tutors with WyzAnt.

- Alicia from Temple Hills, MD
Glad I found WyzAnt

I am thankful for this website. Although my daughter's grades have not yet come up, I have confidence that they will. Her tutor does a great job working with her and I am certain that her grades will improve. I feel that this website also lives up to their promise of confidentiality, which is also important to me. I feel comfortable with the way that my payments are set up and handled and I also like the confidentiality between me and my tutor.

- Lorrie from Jacksonville, FL
Excellent choices

We were looking for a pre-calc tutor for our son. My wife came across WyzAnt and asked me to search for some qualified tutors. I conducted the search, and was quite surprised by the number of highly qualified candidates. Some were college students, many others were professionals with lengthy careers. I was impressed that WyzAnt required exams to demonstrate subject matter proficiency. I chose 5 of the candidates, sent them each emails, and received cordial, accommodating emails from all of them. In the end, because the qualifications were so consistent, we chose a tutor based on proximity as we were hoping for frequent sessions. We've been extremely satisfied, and our son has improved significantly. We've even referred a friend to WyzAnt whose daughter was struggling in math. Payment is easy and I am notified of the account balance when it runs low. I appreciate the ability to deposit a higher amount for a greater discount, and we've taken advantage of that. I also like the very thorough lesson summary that the tutor writes, complete with her assessment of our son's grasp of the subject matter discussed.

- Jim from Park Ridge, IL
Wide Variety of Tutors to Chose From

There was a lot of tutors to chose from and I was able to find one who was well educated in my subject and suited for my learning style.

- Tia from Spanaway, WA
Nice selection of tutors

I truly stumbled upon the WyzAnt website via google. I used 2 tutors prior to finding an excellent instructor for physics. The 3rd tutor has been exactly what my student needed. Communicates the material well and explains it thoroughly...he really knows the subject matter. I appreciate the fact I could change tutors until we found one that "clicked". A student must feel comfortable with a stranger and trust their knowledge! Great results with homework and tests ...from C to A. Thanks! The payment method is easy and convenient as well. I am fond of the background search which gives added security in this day and time. Very pleased with WyzAnt.

- Lauren from Atlanta, GA
Great Tutoring Resource

Our experience with WyzAnt has been excellent. We interviewed several tutors for our English as a second language needs and had a difficult time choosing just one, as they all had great qualities and extensive experience. We are very happy with our decision and have been working with our tutor for several months now and have had great results. The payment system and the discounted rates are super user friendly. We enjoy the fact that we have an account that payment automatically gets deducted from after each lesson. Thanks WyzAnt!

- Cara from San Diego, CA
Great Tutor

The assistance that Janet (tutor) has provided through WyzAnt been excellent. Without WyzAnt helping locate a tutor with the knowledge and expertise in statistics I am not sure I would be doing so well in this course. WyzAnt has provided me a source for any additional assistance I may need while working on my studies. My wife plans on utilizing a WyzAnt tutor to prepare for a comprehensive algebra test. Definitely quality tutors that know their subjects and work very well with students.

- Richard from Granbury, TX
Good follow through

At the beginning of the process with WyzAnt I had unexpected scheduling conflicts and work obligations. I needed to be out of town twice in three weeks so I was unable to start the tutoring for about three weeks after I made contact with a tutor via WyzAnt. During the time before tutoring started I twice received emails from WyzAnt noting this and asking if there was anything you could do about it. All is going well now and I am happy with your services.

- Elisabeth from Chicago, IL
Great Spanish Tutor

My middle school daughter requested a tutor after having some difficulty with Spanish in school last year. I was not familiar with WyzAnt at the time and did a simple Google search for Spanish tutors in my area. We found WyzAnt and immediately had access to information on tutors in our area. We were able to email potential tutors to obtain more information and ask questions. The tutor that we selected responded promptly and we set up an initial meeting. The entire process has been so simple yet so rewarding. My daughter LOVES her Spanish tutor and looks forward to going every week. She wants to go even when school is not is session. The tutor works with her school curriculum and has her well prepared for classroom activities and tests. My daughter's confidence has improved tremendously and she now actively participates in conversations in her classroom at school. Our tutor is very flexible to accommodate our schedule and is always full of energy and excited to work with my daughter and see her progress and accomplishments in school. An added benefit of WyzAnt is that we do not directly exchange money with the tutor. All payments are made through the WyzAnt website. We are so pleased with our tutor and would definitely recommend WyzAnt to anyone searching for a tutor.

- Kim from Forest, VA
tutor review

The customer support rep that I spoke with was very helpful. So far my daughters tutoring experience has been good. Initially I was worried that it would not work out with this particular tutor but my daughter reports that things are going well. We will see if there is improvement in her grades

- Dianne from Chicago, IL
Best math tutor

I was so blessed to have Emily as my college math tutor, and will definitely request her at any point I need a tutor again, which may be soon. It was a very positive experience and I learned far more with Emily than I would have on my own. Additionally, the process of finding a tutor suited to my specific needs was made much less painless by the information given for each tutor. Being able to locate a tutor in my area, whose schedule matched mine was very helpful. The charges were very fair considering the expertise Emily possessed in this area and the feedback reminders helped me not only assess my progress but Emily's beneficial input as well.

- Paula from Canonsburg, PA
WyzAnt has helped me find the best tutor

I am so thankful for the help WyzAnt staff has given me to find the Best Tutor ever for my grand-daughter. I emailed the staff and they called me right away to get info to the Tutor I had selected. Within no time the Tutor had contacted me. We met to talk about my grand-daughter and Cathy is awesome with my Grand-Daughter. I have seen great improvement with my Grand-Daughter in just a couple of weeks. This is more than what I've seen with a different service we have used for the summer. Cathy is a blessing to my Grand-Daughter. Thank you WyzAnt for a Great, Outstanding, Awesome Tutor. Cathy Rocks!

- Sandra from Oklahoma City, OK
Best Tutoring Service Ever!

WyzAnt has been the greatest tutoring service. It is especially convenient. I really appreciate the ease of direct withdraw from my bank. I don't have to worry about sending a check for the tutoring, it is just billed as we go. My son attends an after school program as I work. His tutor meets him at the school and after each lesson, I get an email of what and how the lesson went. I am so grateful for this service and really appreciate getting the email after each lesson. My son is doing so much better in school with the excellent tutor from your service. This works out so much better than having to take him to a tutoring center after I pick him up from after school. First, it would make for an even longer day for him and second, he would not be able to participate in football as the timing would conflict. When searching for a tutor through your site, I was able to review several resumes. I chose a young male college student for my son. I thought it would be great for him to have a successful young man as a mentor. It's working! My overall opinion of your service exceeds expectations. Thank you WyzAnt for your services and helping my son become a better student.

- Michele from Gainesville, FL
Great tutor

We have had a wonderful experience using WyzAnt tutoring services. When I initially signed up for a tutor we had many excellent teachers available to choose from. With the detailed description of each teacher's background, I was able to select the one tutor that I thought would most suit my son's personality and my specifications in a tutor. Once I selected the tutor, the set-up of lesson times and places was also very easy. It also assured me knowing that if the particular tutor did not seem to be the correct fit for my son, I could change at any time without a fee. The first lesson is also refundable. Our tutor, Rick, is fantastic with my son. Rick is willing to work on any homework assignments that my son has, as well as pinpointing weaknesses that need additional concentration. Rick is also flexible with scheduling and considerate when we have to change times. I also enjoy getting a detailed write-up of each lesson and the ability to rate the lesson online. This has been a positive experience that I would highly recommend to anyone that needs some one-on-one academic assistance with their child. It takes the stress out of trying to be the one to help your child and figure out the homework yourself.

Great Experience -- We Found the Perfect Tutor

Finding a great tutor can be a challenge -- especially if your preference, for convenience sake, is to have the tutor come to you. Where to start? I was seeking a Spanish tutor for our son, and just happened upon the WyzAnt site. I began my search, and was returned over 2 dozen tutors who matched our needs. I was thrilled with the variety of Spanish tutors out there -- each with a unique resume, each with unique strengths. There's someone for everyone! I had a good sense of the style of instruction and personality type that would likely work best for our student. The tutors' detailed self-profiles describing their experience, teaching styles and interests, and even client feedback, made it easy to quickly cull down the list to a few finalists. The search process was fun and fruitful. We found our tutor, who has been superb. Our tutor is professional, personable, reliable, energetic, and clearly loves help others learn. Our son is happy to work with her and feels more confident about his ability to do well in Spanish. Her prices are reasonable and I don't even need to have a check prepared or cash on hand. Following each lesson I receive an email both for "lesson feedback" and for payment, which happens through WyzAnt. If we ever need to find another tutor, WyzAnt is the first place we'll turn.

Review of Wyzant

I highly recommend Wyzant. I have paid more money for far less effective tutoring in the past at tutoring businesses and after using Wyzant, I would not go back.

- Anita from Pacifica, CA
Super Tutor

This is my first time trying WyzAnt and it has been a rewarding experience for my son. He has improved in Math and is very comfortable with Sharon (tutor). I was able to look through the different tutors and their credentials first then I was able to contact them and interview with no problem at all. The payment system was able to set up and I would recommend it to other parents out there looking to get their child ahead or through a difficult subject.

- Kim from Newton Upper Falls, MA
Excellent, Multi-faceted Service

I have wanted to receive tutoring in the past, but it was always so complicated to find a qualified, attentive tutor. WyzAnt made the process easier by listing qualified people who can teach in a big variety of subjects. Also, there are no worries about payment (during the sessions) and it frees both the instructor and student from worrying about finances (which take away from the lesson). I plan to use WyzAnt for all of my future needs. Thanks a lot!

- Clayton from Austin, TX
Our First Choice of Tutors Couldn't Be Better!

I found WyzAnt at random on the web, and my first choice for my daughter's math tutor has been perfect. She really cares about my daughter, and is willing to go to any lengths to make sure that Brittany is not only learning the material, but that she is confident in taking tests. All of our personalities "click" and we couldn't be happier with our choice. I would like to thank the folks at WyzAnt for their wonderful service - it has made all the difference in my daughter's junior year in high school. Not only is she really understanding math for the first time, but I think she's actually enjoying it, and her self-confidence has grown as well. I would recommend WyzAnt to anyone looking for help for themselves, or their children.

- Brittany from Upperville, VA
Great Experience all the way around!

Making the decision to find a tutor for my 8 year old granddaughter was the hard part. WyzAnt made it very easy to find not only one but two awesome tutors. The process of finding a tutor that will meet your specific needs is just a few clicks away. My daughter that lives in a different state wanted to contribute by prepaying for the sessions. WyzAnt made it simple for her to do that online. The first tutor we chose to go with was excellent but unfortunately (for us) after a month she was offered a full time teaching position. Sadly she would no longer be able to tutor due to time constraints. We were very happy for her and found our current tutor within days on WyzAnt. I would highly recommend using WyzAnt to find a tutor that will be the perfect fit for you or your loved one!

Great Tool for Any Parent

As newcomers in Michigan, we thought it would be difficult to find trustworthy tutor(s) for our child without the usual social network and direct recommendations. We gave internet a try and from the numerous sites posting tutors, WyzAnt seemed the best choice – it was very easy to search per the criteria we considered important and the information about each tutor was exactly what we needed to make up our mind. Thanks WyzAnt for your help.

Great tutor credentials!

My children and I met with our tutor at the local library. My sons were very reluctant to meet with any tutor. Donna was fantastic. On time, organized and had a gentle approach and eager to teach. My oldest son said "mom she is really smart, I kinda like her." This translated into, I am eager to meet again. Thank You! I think the ACT math scores will definitely improve.

- Judith from Sylvania, OH
Good experience

This has been a good experience as we found a good tutor for my son. She has a lot of experience with middle and high school math, which is just what we wanted.

Great Tutor for Accounting

Had my first tutoring session today for college class. Wonderful experience! Tutor was very smart, profession, friendly and efficient with time. Very focused on what I needed to learn and did not waste time with chit chat or try to extend the session longer than needed in order to perhaps run up the bill. I had all my questions answered and learned much. Looking forward to my next session. Thanks, WyzAnt!

- Donna from Nashville, TN
Great Tutor

We had a hard time picking the right tutor. Paying for the lessons was a breeze.I think the Education of your tutors should be more clearly posted.We are very happy with Scott H..

The Greatest Tutor Ever!!

It has been such a privilege to have such a wonderful and caring tutor. Mike W is the best.. I will continue to use him for all of my tutoring needs for myself and the rest of my grandchildren. Wyzant, you made a great choice. The courses that I needed tutoring in were courses that I could have never passed without Mike's help. Thanks Wyzant for being here to help and thank you Mike for helping me.

Best tutoring experience!

My son's tutor, Kelli was great! She helped him with preparing for the ACT. Time was short, so we only had 4 2-hour sessions but she spent every minute well, helping with test strategy, content and general encouragement. Wyzant is easy to use and obviously employs quality tutors. Their prices are extremely fair, especially the "pay-up-front" option. They maintain strict privacy controls for both the customer and the tutor. We highly recommend WyzAnt and Kelli!

Excellent Spanish tutor!

My Spanish tutor Abnel R (Winter Park, FL) was very helpful, punctual and flexible with his schedule. I really appreciate his expertise in helping me to reach my potential. He was patient and I would recommend Abnel to anyone who wants to take their understanding of the Spanish language to the next level. I would also recommend WyzAnt highly, especially since I didn't have to handle payment directly to the tutor, and could pay separately to WyzAnt.

- CYNTHIA P from Haverford, PA
Ashley Elizabeth was fantastic.

I found WyzAnt to be a great forum and couldn't be happier with the results of the first session with my daughter. Ashley Elizabeth was a professional and a delight to meet. We are looking forward to many more sessions with her.

Great tutor, tired student

Jeff is great with my son Tim! You can tell he loves kids and has a blast working with them. He and Tim have a great rapport. They work hard together but at the same time they can laugh and joke too! I just wish we had started with Jeff sooner! WyzAnt is a great tool. At first I was a little hesitant not knowing what to expect from a web site. But WyzAnt is easy to use and answers any questions that you may have! Quick and easy responses from potential tutors. I have enjoyed this experience so far! Thanks, again for a great tool!

- Gwen from Bowie, MD
Great Resource!

Nothing but a positive experience. Everything from signing up, to the tutors have been great! Keep it up!

Best way to get a qualified tutor!

We stumbled on WyzAnt during a Google search and it has been a wonderful resource for our family. We have nothing but great things to say about our child's tutor, the site is easy to use and the payment process is simple.

The WyzAnt tutoring service is a wonderful tool to find excellent instructors

The instructor is very patient, knowledgeable and kind. We are very pleased with our decision to use Wyzant.

Great Tutor Search and Selection, Helpful Customer Support Reps

I had great luck finding a Chinese tutor in my area. I was a little uncomfortable to find the email I received was quoting a different rate for service, so I called WyzAnt. The WyzAnt rep fixed the problem for me and was very kind. I an very happy with the quality of my tutor.

- Kristen from Northville, MI
Working with WyzAnt

I actually stumbled on WyzAnt doing a search on the internet and have had nothing but a great experience with the entire process. It was so simply and a lot of tutors to choose from. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a tutor.

Great Tutor

We have just started but I am really impressed with Janis M. and hope that it turns out to really help my son in his short comings. So far so good.

Great Tutor Search and Selection

I'm very happy with my tutor choice, available through WyzAnt. It is a very secure and easy to use system. I have no worries when it comes to using the WyzAnt system. Tutor is very close to home and is a very flexible tutor. The rating system is also very helpful.

- Holly from Pasadena, CA
Great Place to Start

I was happy to have stumbled upon WyzAnt as it has lead us to a very wonderful tutor that we feel secure in using. WyzAnt did provide a wealth of information on tutors and there was a fair amount of tutors to chose from. I received several inquires to my initial request which was very nice. This being the first time we had used a tutor or WyzAnt I was pleased. Charu was very pleasant and very thorough. My daughter was not made to feel inadequate but made to feel very capable of her knowledge; giving her the self confidence she was lacking. I believe we will accomplish much in a very few tutoring sessions.

- Chris from Tampa, FL
Great experience

I have now met with my tutor a handful of times and I have had an amazing experience with him. He really takes the time to explain things in a way that I can understand. He is very thorough and is a great teacher. The website made it easy to find a tutor and has high quality tutors who are patient and very knowledgeable. Thank you for a great experience!

My Comments on WyzAnt

This is the first time that I've used WyzAnt. I'm glad that this is a service. It is hard to find reputable tutors. I've asked the school to help me with this process, but as expected, they weren't helpful. So I took matters into my own hands and found this service. My only concern is that it is a little pricey, especially if a student needs a lot of tutoring (even with discount). I know that I have friends that don't make a lot of money and their children need tutoring but she can't afford it, so this is unfortunate for the student who would like to achieve but does not have the support they need to achieve. I believe that your price is more than most people make in an hour and should be adjusted to be more in line with today's earned income. Other than this BIG problem, my tutor has been wonderful. My daughter enjoys her and I like that she provides me status updates on her progress. I highly recommend her. Thank you for your support.

Impressive Tutor

Hi, regarding our tutor Nadeem, he is well versed in the art of algebra, His tenacity and problem solving skills are excellent, as to our son Luc, now he had more confident in dealing with algebra than ever before. What a wonderful self-esteem builder. Thanks!

- RENE from Miami, FL
Trustworthy tutoring site

It is good experience to work WyzAnt. This is a good good site to go in if I want a tutor for my kids. Right now, I am still working with Mr. Lynn. And if I have any further need than that, I will go back use WyzAnt again. I recommend WyzAnt to any one looking for a tutor.

Great Tutor Search and Selection

Excellent experience using WyzAnt. I had so many truly qualified tutors respond to me that it made it very hard to choose just one.

- Jessica from Houston, TX
Great in home tutoring program

At first I was unsure if I wanted to find a tutor using an online service. This experience has been a positive one and my fifth grader is enjoying her time with her tutor. She really needed the 1:1 attention without the distractions of other students. The payment system is working out great especially 'pay as you go' and I have the privilege through the website to review the tutor session while checking the status of payment received. Overall, this is a great service and all my questions were answered quickly through the system. I would strongly recommend this program to a family or friend.

- Soncerie from Moreno Valley, CA
Great tutor search and selection

This seems to be working well. Finding the tutor was time consuming, since I had special requests, but there were plenty to choose from. The tutor is great and we are making real progress. I like the paying on-line feature. Thanks for a good experience.

- Jean from San Diego, CA
Excellent overall experience

This has been a great experience overall. It was easy to find a excellent tutor who is able to adapt to my son's specific needs. She's always on time, flexible regarding where to meet, and is able to provide supplement materials to strengthen the lessons.

- Julia from Louisville, KY
Excellent Service

I was contacted immediately upon requesting information on a specific tutor for elementary mathematics. A lesson was set up for the coming Saturday. My daughter's tutor was right on time and on task. She was able to pinpoint the trouble spots and frustration triggers within the first 10 minutes. My daughter enjoyed her lesson and now knows exactly what is throwing her off. I will use WyzAnt for any problems I may encounter in the future.

- April from Maysville, MO
Great Tutor

This is our first time to use WyzAnt, it very simple to find a tutor and get your account set up to pay, you make it very easy. Our tutor has been great to work with, she has make great progress with our son.

- Byron from Petersburg, TN
Very fast and efficient getting the right tutor for my son

This was a great experience, the results were quick and I had a tutor within 2 days, who came to my house to help my son. I would gladly refer other moms to this site.

- Angela from Pickerington, OH
Going well

I am very pleased with our tutor. It has been going very well and daughter is very relieved to have some help and making progress. Thank you.

- Lisa from Hilo, HI
Easy to use

The tutors associated with the school were all booked up, so I went on line. I was skeptical at first, but needed to find a tutor for my son. Erin's profile came up immediately, I read her profile and the reviews from some of her students. After a few emails back and forth with her, I gave my payment profile to WyzAnt, and we were on our way. After three sessions with Erin, Dylan's grade point is climbing slowly but surely. He is approaching his homework and tests/quizzes with much more confidence. He now knows he can learn this material! Using WyzAnt was easy... and it's working!

- Lizsa from Stevensville, MD
Greatest Tutor Ever

The tutor contacted me right away. We have been able to complete the assignments on time and with great accuracy. Keith has truly been a God send. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a tutor for finance. Finance classes should be illegal.

- Karen from Chandler, AZ
Wonderful Tutor!

I am really grateful that Wyzant was able to put me in touch with an amazing tutor! As a native speaker who attended college in Italy she is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, professional, and ethical. In addition, she always responds to email requests and telephone calls promptly. Besides learning a plethora of Italian language, I have also learned a lot about Italian culture which will be quite useful when traveling to Italy. As a student at a local university, my schedule changes often. However, she always places my needs before her own and she is always more than willing to accommodate me.

- Monica from Philadelphia, PA
great service and user friendly

I have been delighted with our experience through WyzAnt. I am thrilled to have found a piano teacher that will come to our home and instruct our children back to back at mutually agreed upon times. The payment has been simple and the kids are very excited about the lessons. I am glad I decided to give it a try and have already recommended it to friends:) Thank you for making it so simple! I was hesitant to shop for a piano teacher online vs. face-to-face but it has been a pleasant experience! The kids can't wait to practice either. Thank You!

- Kristen from Duluth, MN
Great Tutor Site & Selections

We are extremely satisfied with the experience we received with WyzAnt and it's tutors. The site makes it very easy to locate the right tutor. The plus side of it all is that you can request a background check and the billing/payment is handled through the site so money never changes hands directly. I have and will continue to recommend this site to others. Thank you WyzAnt team!

- Josalyn from Culver City, CA
Appreciate the ability to search for all tutors locally and look at other cutomers comments

We had great success finding an amazing tutor. He was not only professional, had a great understanding of the subject, but he was punctual and easy to work with. I liked paying the service through a credit card and I appreciated that you billed my account and I did not have to do anything else online. It was particularly helpful when the lesson went over an hour.

- Kathryn from San Francisco, CA
I could not have done it without help!

My tutor came just in time. I thought I could do statistical analysis on my own but was I wrong. Just working with my tutor helped me to save countless hours of frustration. I am relieved that I sought and received help immediately. I used Wyzant for my high schooler but hadn't considered it for myself. I'm glad I remembered this resource. I highly recommend searching for a tutor that meets your needs. They are out there ready to assist!

Good information - quality tutors

The arrangement has been working very well. We felt more comfortable arranging for an unknown tutor by going through a structured organization, WyzAnt, that could provide multiple names and descriptions to enable us to find someone who is a good fit for our daughter's needs. She has been very happy with the educational experience. As it turned out, we actually knew one of the listed tutors personally and can completely vouch for the information WyzAnt provides. We chose not to select that individual because of a personal relationship. But seeing him listed actually made us more comfortable about the quality of the tutoring available.

Great Way To Find a Tutor

My experience with WyzAnt was great! Everything from navigating through their website, prompt replies, customer support, payment for lessons was easy. My daughter had 4 geometry sessions with her tutor and really enjoyed them because in her words "she felt at ease." The tutor was competent, well prepared, friendly, patient and sincere. My overall experience was great and I would definitely do business with WyzAnt in the future.

- Norberto from Palm Bay, FL
Great Tutors Available

Your rating system helped me to choose the best math tutor that my son has ever had! This is his junior year and I have used local people through word of mouth. I wish I had known about WyzAnt a long time ago. I can only imagine how well he would have done if he could have had access to your tutors two years ago!
