Great Tutor Search and Selection
Heard about our current tutor from a friend who found him through WyzAnt. Was able to look up the tutor and find information about him though WyzAnt very easily. The information was helpful, and I loved that there were background checks. It helped me feel more comfortable hiring someone I did not already know. The payment and correspondence through WyzAnt has been super easy. I love how simple it is. We are also thrilled with our tutor! Our daughter has gone from failing to 100's since we started using Jerome! That is better success than I could have hoped for!!!
Easy Tutor Find
My experience with WyzAnt has been very nice. I got immediate response from several tutors in my area and was able to secure one to start right away. Also, every time my daughter meets with her tutor, I get an email right away with a short summary of what they work on. That's very reassuring.
Most helpful website
This website is a powerful resource for quality local tutors. My son is in high school and needed help with AP / IB Trig/ Precalc at the beginning of the school year. Within just 6 hours of starting my research online, coming across the WyzAnt website, and contacting a few tutors from the site, I was able to make appointments with two tutors for the next weekend. Very impressive. Both tutors were excellent with extensive knowledge about this particular high school math course which really is a college course. One of the two, also tutors physics and was able to help my son connect the dots between his math and physics classes. Payments are a breeze through WyzAnt.
Great search selection and experience
This service has been a great way to help us find an excellent tutor. The site is easy to use and easy to converse and follow up on. Really quite well done from the "buyer's" perspective.
Great WyzAnt Experience
My experience with WyzAnt has been very positive. Once I registered, and put my email address and my phone number on record, I was contacted very quickly by a tutor. We made arrangements to meet and the first lesson was very positive. WyzAnt then promptly followed up with a review of the lesson by the tutor and also asked for my review. I was very impressed with these communications. My subsequent lessons have followed that same pattern. I appreciate the prompt feedback and the asking for my reaction after each lesson. This whole experience has certainly impressed me. I am glad that I found your website. I am also very impressed with my tutor, Thomas Y. Thank you again!
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!
