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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Tutor Search and Selection

As a grandmother to two grandsons born abroad and now attending school in U.S., it was a great relief to find a qualified, trustworthy tutor online. I live in a different city and so locating a tutor in the city my grandsons reside was a big PLUS. WyzAnt made it easy and simple. I especially like the various payment options offered. Because the boys were to be tutored on school grounds, the school district office had certain requirements. The tutor had to be fingerprinted, have a background check and a current TB test. We found out about this in December and this month, the boys were able to begin lessons. I am very appreciative of time and effort tutor had to expend to accomplish this. After only a few sessions, things are going smoothly. And this Grandmother enjoys peace of mind.

Perfect Tutor Match For My Daughter

WyzAnt has been so easy. The payments, the right tutor, everything. My daughter's tutor, RoseMary, was so accommodating. My daughter needed help with the upcoming SAT test. Everything was set to study the two weeks prior to the test. And then, wouldn't you know it, a snowstorm hits. No school for a week, roads impassable. Terrible timing for a snowstorm. RoseMary did her absolute best to get quality time squeezed into only 5 days. We have more college tests to study for and hope that RoseMary will be available. Sometimes a student needs more than academic help. They need self confidence help. RoseMary was the perfect tutor match for my daughter.

- Karie from Murphy, NC
Excellent Tutor

Our experience with WzyAnt was one of ease and excellence in service. The number of experienced tutors to choose from was incredible. They responded almost immediately to our emailed request which enabled us to receive tutoring for our daughter that night! The tutor who worked with our daughter was able to, in just two hours, give her the understanding of Algebra II her high school teacher could not.

Why would any rational parent not to choose WyzAnt?

I am a proud of parent of an honor student at a nation's top high school. I had spent anywhere from $150 to $280 per hour for my kid's math tutoring from national test prep companies until I discovered WyzAnt. From that time on, I would only use WyzAnt. Here is why, you can go to Craiglist and look for tutoring jobs list. The same companies from which I used tutors are hiring potential tutors with Bachelor's degree and 90 percentile in SAT Math for around $20 an hour. Yet, I got a Master's degree in Math and perfect-score in GRE Math at WyzAnt for much less I paid to the national companies and get much better results for my kids. My daughter's experience with her math tutor at WyzAnt is incredible. The tutor is far superior than any other math tutor you could imagine in terms of the unique and faster ways to solve SAT Math problems. You will not find such methods from anywhere else. Why hasn't every parent used WyzAnt? Maybe that is why our nation's high school math education has not improved much. Thank you, WyzAnt!

- Steve from Utica, NY
Great experience

So far so good, I have not had any problems and I would recommend your company to others. My daughter and I like her tutor. I plan on using her for the next 3 years until my daughter graduates from high school.

- Anna from Glendale, CA
Very helpful

I am pleased with the tutor my son has for calculus. The service has been fairly easy to use and the choice of tutors was more than adequate. So far, so good.

- Mary from Peoria, AZ
Great tutor search

I would recommend WyzAnt to any parents looking for help for their child. I was searching for a tutoring service and came across WyzAnt, and found a very good tutor named Mr. James B. He has helped my child understand math, a subject that he was failing and he now gets! Thank you!

- M from Upper Marlboro, MD
EXCELLENT TUTOR

I am 100% satisfied with my tutoring experience. My tutor Dee (Darnel F.) was simply amazing as far as her knowledge of Excel. The problem I presented I would consider very advanced and she was able to solve it quickly. She was very responsive to my questions at various times. I know the knowledge she shared with me would have taken a long time to acquire if I had to go to classes or read books to find it. So I am grateful and intend to keep contacting her. I know she is helping my Excel skills to go to another level. This lady is a rare find! Dale W

Very Accomodating

The "pay as I get my lesson" is very flexible and accommodating with my schedule. Great tutor selection! Thank you

Great Chemistry Tutor- Gerardo Y.

I am so appreciative for this site. Shortly after beginning my search for a chemistry tutor for my daughter, I had at least six interested tutors from my area. My daughter and I decided to work with Gerardo Y. He is a wonderful, patient, and knowledgeable tutor who has made my daughter want to go to chemistry class and tackle the quizzes and test that she is given. Thanks to WyzAnt for connecting us to Gerardo Y.

- Glenda from Fort Worth, TX
Both sides of Wyzant service are really worthwhile!

I am both a tutor and a student through WyzAnt and I am increasingly happy with the service in many ways. Not only does it have an easy interface, but the customer service is personal, attentive, and fast. I look forward to experiencing more of the WyzAnt community as I continue to tutor students who have access to a wide array of subject area help. I also look forward to working more closely with the excellent tutors that I have found as a student! I would recommend WyzAnt and do so whenever possible.

- Heather from Bellingham, WA
All in all the session was a good lesson.

The tutor is very responsive to the needs of our son. We find him very attentive and willing to work hard to keep our son motivated. He is willing to not only talk to his dad, but the mom as well.

- John from Silver Spring, MD
Great Tutor Search

I loved how I was able to find multiple tutors with just one click. All the tutors I found were in the field that I needed the help. Payments were really easy. I know that people don't like giving out their information online, but WyzAnt won't charge you until they get the okay from the tutor and they only charge the amount the tutor spends with the student.

- Marly from Jenkintown, PA
Wyzant is very easy to use and the tutor I ultimately selected has been great!

I found an excellent tutor to work with my son in reading. He loves tutoring twice a week. I was amazed at how many tutors responded to my email.

Great Tutor Search and Selection

I found the most wonderful tutor through WyzAnt. I am definitely getting my money's worth. And the ease at which I was able to procure this tutor was due to WyzAnt's website, including the ease of payment via Pay Pal. I will definitely recommend this service to others.

A Wonderful Company and Tutor with Much Expertise

I'm so happy that I found Wyzant. For sometime now, I had been stressed in knowing that my son struggled in math. As a parent, it's hard to see your child struggle and I felt that all of my resources had failed, until I began searching the web for tutors in my area. I appreciated the fact that I could perhaps get an overall picture of each tutor's expertise in all areas in which helped me to decide who was best for my child. I can say today that Thanks to WyzAnt, my son feels more confident in knowing that he has someone that he can trust and can now walk into his math class with his head held high in knowing that he can now achieve in the one class that just a few weeks ago he felt was impossible. I'm very grateful to my WyzAnt family and especially grateful to my son's tutor Renee!!

- Vera from Randallstown, MD
Motivating Tutor

I started looking for a tutor for my son, who recently started the sixth grade. It is a big transition for a child, since he is now responsible for multiple classes, keeping a planner, and the change in intensity and what is expected of him as a student. I found his tutor on WyzAnt.com, which offers a wide variety of tutors. This allowed me innumerable choices and I was able to take my time and find a tutor that, so far, seems a perfect fit. His tutor exhibits the qualities that I feel are necessary to help my son be successful in school. The payment set-up is convenient and easy, and I am receiving updates after each lesson.

Web tutoring

I am a single working mother with an amazing son who has been struggling in math for a few years now. We were not getting anywhere working together, or with his very busy math teacher. He is in Algebra this year and in high school next year. I did not want to go through another year with this math issue. I thought I will never be able to afford a math tutor! Then I found WyzAnt on line and e-mailed a tutor I could afford! I set up an account in your secure website and e-mailed the tutor I had in mind. In the same day not only did she e-mail me back but so did a few others! I was SO pleased! She has worked out wonderfully! Thanks so much WyzAnt!

Provided a great and useful service

When we began looking for a Spanish tutor for my son I thought it was going to be a long drawn out process. One of the first sites I stumbled upon was WyzAnt and I am so glad. The process was so simple. I searched through their tutor database, emailed potential tutors that were in my area. I received responses almost immediately. The tutor that I had initially emailed responded, as did eight others that I didn't even take time out to email. The same day that I joined on WyzAnt I found my tutor and a couple days later my son had his first tutoring session. Everything about our experience has been positive. We found an excellent tutor, and my son's grade has already began to improve. I feel comfortable, because I know that WyzAnt runs back ground checks, so I am confident that I have chose a competent tutor and someone I feel safe having around my son without my constant supervision. When I placed my ad for a tutor I received many responses, so I had plenty of people to chose from. The tutor I chose was flexible on times and location. We are three sessions in and each time she has been prompt and when the hour is up, she always makes sure that my son fully understands everything that she has explained and makes sure that he does not have any more questions. She takes her time and is very patient.

Fortunate to have found Jen

After just briefly searching the internet for a tutor I stumbled upon WyzAnt and found Jen. The whole process has been so simple and has exceeded my expectations. I purchased a package and after each session, money is just pulled form my account so I don't have to worry about payment after each session. I also like that Jen writes a short paragraph about what she covered in the session as I often don't get details from my daughter. She has been eager to help and has been very flexible in terms of her availability. She explains not only the "how" but also the "why" which is very important to my daughter's learning style.

Easy Search and Selection

What a great way to find a tutor and get started quickly! The site is easy to use and has plenty of information about the prospective tutors. There are multiple tools on the site that can be used to find and evaluate which tutors would best meet your needs. There is a wide selection of subject areas that are available for selection if you need a tutor for one subject or multiple subjects. The cost is known upfront once you select the tutor and the payment process is easy and secure and can be accessed prior to any lesson. I've been asking around for tutors at the school and other parents, with no success . . . this tool is terrific! The customer support is also terrific and response was very quick and helpful.

Great Service

A week ago I thought I'd have trouble hiring a good tutor for my son. Luckily, I found WyzAnt on the web and the same day was able to line up a great tutor. The first lesson was yesterday, and we're very pleased with the quality of instruction. Our son even seemed to enjoy it!

Love your site!

WyzAnt is a great tool for parents to find great tutors. I had reviewed the site many times and decided to use the service when my son was not doing so well in Algebra. I love the fact that I can email the tutor BEFORE deciding to use the service. We were able to work out a schedule and communicate before I paid for services. Thanks, WyzAnt!!! My tutor is very knowledgeable and the most important thing is that my son is comfortable and loves her patience!

- A from Memphis, TN

Ruth is very knowledgeable. Highly Recommended!

WyzAnt is a great resource. I am glad I found WyzAnt. One can find the right person to learn what is needed in a subject at one's convenience; I have no time to go to a class regularly to learn what I need. Great Idea!

- Abe from Dallas, TX
