Very easy to use

Wyzant made finding a tutor easy. The whole process was simple and easy. The choice of tutors was great. Our tutor was very helpful.

- Terrie from Sulphur, LA
All aspects of WyzAnt are user friendly; great experience with tutor!

I have found WyzAnt to be an excellent service for finding a tutor. The profiles were extremely well presented, and I have been delighted with my choice of a tutor. Our sessions have been great. I am also very satisfied with the payment process and notification process for all matters. I would highly recommended WyzAnt to anyone seeking tutoring services.

- Marlene from New Bedford, MA
Great resource!

More parents should know about this service. You should start a campaign and contact schools about your organization. Many choices of tutors and fees. Responsive tutors.! Found the right tutor the first time. She is an excellent match for my daughter!

- Tina from Chicago, IL
So far, so good

So far, so good. WyzAnt made it pretty easy to find a tutor that fits our needs. I like that everything is transparent and complete in looking at a tutor's experience, skills, and background check. Thanks!

- Randy from Seattle, WA
Absolute Amazing Tutoring Experience

Using WyzAnt has been great, as it really provided me the chance to learn a language when my school was not offering it. Immediately upon registering, I was able to see quite a lot of people teaching said language in the area around where I live. I was quickly contacted by many, but in the end, chose one who has been absolutely incredible. WyzAnt has been a great help to me in my learning experience, and I would recommend it to many.

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!!!

- Julie from Dacula, GA
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.

- Sandra from Avondale, PA
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.

- Ariane from Santa Rosa, CA
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.

- John from Chapel Hill, NC
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!

- Corky from Hudson, FL
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.

- Bianca from Tarzana, CA
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!

- Kandace from Tulsa, OK
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.

- Jocelyn from Garland, TX
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.

- Wilson from Houston, TX
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!

- Beverly from Dover, TN
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.

- Troy from San Antonio, TX
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!

- Jill from Mesa, AZ
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

- Martha from Cockeysville, MD
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.

- Allison from Wakefield, RI
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.

- Lorraine from Arlington, VA
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.

- Shannon from Atlanta, GA
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.

- Lisa from Yorba Linda, CA
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.

- Wendy from Kensington, MD
Great tutor

Using WyzAnt was a good choice for me because this helped me find a tutor who can help me get ready for college.

- Porshia from Biloxi, MS
Easy To Navigate

Your website is easy to navigate. The information about each tutor allowed me to select the tutor that suited me best. I will definitely use this site again.

- Paul from Spring, TX
Great resource

WyzAnt delivers quality tutors with qualifications listed. Payment is easy and accurate. I got a billing update the day the tutoring took place with charges so I always knew where I stood. Thank you WyzAnt! I will continue to use our tutor through high school years.

- Melissa from Colleyville, TX
Great Experience

WyzAnt was extremely helpful. I was having a really hard time in my statistics class and my tutor helped turn it around, I went from C's to A's! I emailed a few tutors in my area that fit my needs and I heard back from them all within a few hours. Once I chose a tutor, she was more than happy to work with my time constraints and went above and beyond to make sure I understood the material. Overall this was a great experience that I would recommend to everyone. Thanks WyzAnt!

- Sara from Washington, DC
Made finding what I needed easy!

I couldn't have been more pleased with the process for identifying potential tutors, scheduling reminders and payment options. This is a great resource that I hope to use again in the future!

- Laura from Revere, PA
The importance of tutoring

One on one tutoring is more time and cost effective than classroom courses. Students will still only get out of it to the level that they put into it. They need to be completing the homework given and ask questions. At first it might be uncomfortable for students since they cannot hide their misunderstandings or lack of knowledge when it is obvious to a tutor what they need help in. The student needs to be honest and ask questions so the tutor can get to the root of the problem. If you are not having trouble with a particular topic, then it will be obvious and you can quickly move onto another topic. This cannot happen in a class full of students. Just because a special class costs a whole lot more, does not mean it is better. Many of these classes are taught by the same people that would be tutoring. I am certain I could get hired to teach these classes, but I prefer a method that is better for the student. I am both a tutor with WyzAnt with over 500 hours, as well as the parent of a student who uses WyzAnt tutoring services. I have never heard any complaints from anyone I have met through the entire process. Happy tutoring!

Great Tutor And Helpful Customer Support Reps.

I was in search of an Algebra 1 tutor for my son for the next month to prepare him to re-take the Algebra 1 EOC. I narrowed my search by reviewing the credentials, experience, and subject knowledge of the tutors and whom would be the best match for my son. I felt like I needed a little reassurance on my selection because of the limited amount of time we had to prepare for the exam. I contacted a WyzAnt customer support rep and he was extremely helpful considering I was in a panic to find the right person. He emailed me the names of tutors that best fit the criteria I was looking for. I was so excited that his list included the tutor I was considering and she was at the top of his list too. Her name is Kathryn Valentine. We have had 3 sessions together and still have another 5 more. My son is very happy and making good progress thus far. We are looking forward to a successful tutoring completion as he passes the Algebra EOC at the end of July.

- Jennifer from Auburndale, FL
Broad Selection

I liked being able to read about many different tutors in one spot. It made selecting one easier. I was able to email back and forth with the different tutors prior to signing up, and I really liked that as well. I didn't actually have to pay anything until I had chosen a particular tutor and we had agreed on terms, location, etc. The quality and experience of the tutors varies greatly. I ended up selecting someone who is a retired school principal and has a masters in the field in which my son needs help. I am very satisfied.

- Rebecca from Tucson, AZ
Great Tutor Search and Selection Site

WyzAnt is terrific. It's easy to navigate and you can choose from many different tutors to meet your child's needs. My son, who hated math at school, now says he wishes he could see his tutor every day! She's wonderful!

- Kelly from Carlsbad, CA
Great selection of tutors

We are so happy we found Cindy!!! I was so tired of paying people who were not really helping my children, some of the tutors I had would act so unprofessional and like they didn't want to be here. The tutor I found on WyzAnt (Cindy), is so professional. She comes ready to tutor, with such a positive attitude, and prepared with what she is going to help with. My children love her and have learned something every time she works with them. I am so happy I found this site. Thanks, WyzAnt!

- Joy from Centerville, GA
Great & Encouraging Experience

Our daughter is 10 years old, and will be entering 5th grade this school year. She did not grasp what she needed to in math while in 4th grade, therefore we felt she needed some extra help before moving forward. We contacted WyzAnt online, and quickly located a local tutor that we felt would be compatible & helpful with our daughter. We certainly made the correct choice! The tutor has been professional, patient, encouraging, & an excellent teacher. Our daughter really looks forward to, & enjoys the sessions. She is learning!!! WyzAnt has been a good & professional experience! Thank You!

- Renee' from Lenoir, NC
Very, very excellent!

I found the EXACT tutor I needed, right away, and it has been great. Jonathan is a wonderful and patient tutor and I would recommend him to ANYONE. This is a great service and I would not hesitate to use it again in the future.

- Michelle from South Lyon, MI
So awesome!

I'm so glad that this website exists! It was very easy to use and I found a great tutor right away! I highly recommend this site for all ages!

Many Tutors To Choose From

When I searched in my area and then sorted by highest reviews, I could pick the writing tutor that looked like the best fit for my teenage son. He needs help with writing strategy, so I found a tutor whose education was a good match. It turned out to be a great decision. The billing is easy and my son is building his confidence this summer with the help of an excellent tutor.

- Angela from Alamo, CA
Positive Experience

I appreciated the thorough descriptions for tutors. It made it easy to study their profiles and select one that met our needs. Payment has also been easy. I like that I don't have to pay the tutor directly and that the only discussions we need to have are regarding the lessons he is covering with my children. The tutor is great, and we are happy. Thanks.

- Liliana from Redlands, CA
Easy to navigate

Found a great tutor. Payments are easy and clear. Good communication all around. Like the way the site is set up and how it's run. Thanks for a great experience. Will be back again next summer if we need help!

- Nicky from Burbank, CA
Excellent Tutor

I've used WyzAnt before and found a great tutor for calculus. Now my daughter is taking statistics and once again, WyzAnt came through with an excellent tutor.

- Irene from San Francisco, CA
Great Search

I really really enjoyed the service here at WyzAnt. It took me no time is searching for a tutor that was right for me. Most of all my tutor was very efficient in responding back to me.

WyzAnt as a service

WyzAnt made my search for a specific tutor easy. I was able to locate a tutor who specializes in the skills I needed to learn and put me in contact with her quickly.

- Anita from Mc Calla, AL
Great success finding tutor during summer travel!

Through WyzAnt I was able to find a tutor for my youngest child in the location of a three week sports tournament in which my older children participated. It is a struggle to meet the needs of all the members of a family. This could never been accomplished without the broad network of WyzAnt.

- Day from Lancaster, PA
Much easier and better than I expected

I had heard of WyzAnt before and had a general idea of the services they provided, but when I really checked them out I was very impressed. The process of researching and finding a tutor in my area was simple and quick! My email inquiry was answered within minutes and from that first step everything went very smoothly. I had control of when and where to meet, and didn't have to make a commitment up front. It was easy to decide to work with the tutor, however. She was a perfect fit for my son who was struggling with algebra. He has had 3 lessons with her now, and is beginning to look forward to his math sessions. He shows much more enthusiasm in understanding math and making great progress. After seeing his progress, I called customer service to take advantage of the discounts they offer for purchasing blocks of credit. A very helpful person answered right away and took care of it for me immediately. I have loved everything about WyzAnt since I took that first step.

- Sherri from Clarksville, TN
Very helpful service and easy to use.

Very helpful service. The search was great to navigate, the process was easy to follow and the payment was well-structured. We also like the tutor we found here.

- Dan from Palo Alto, CA
Great Tutor, Smooth Transactions!

It took a little longer than I thought it would to find a tutor and get them approved by my company's benefit plan but once we found the tutor and she started the sessions with our daughter, everything has been going very smoothly.

An Excellent Value and Service

WyzAnt is a phenomenal company. The process for finding a tutor is efficient and hassle-free. The company and tutors are honest and transparent. The quality of the tutoring is superior and the cost is a bargain for in-home services. For me, the whole process of finding a tutor was seamless. I highly recommend WyzAnt.

This Is A Great Tutoring Website

I had plenty of tutors to choose from and at a price I could afford! Our tutor is great, my son REALLY likes her, AND she comes to our house! What a TREAT!

- Renee (son Jacob ) from Wylie, TX
Great resource

Having qualified tutors come to your home has so many advantages compared to signing contracts with learning centers who have overheads and other agendas. Using WyzAnt, we were able to quickly find the right tutor locally. The process was very smooth and the follow-up from the site helps keep everyone engaged. We will probably use this system for years to come.

- Tomas from Reading, PA
Very professional

I was impressed by the people we found, even those whose schedules were full were courteous. All communication was handled quickly by the tutors we contacted. The set-up of the website and payment system was easy to navigate.

- Carla from Highland Park, IL
Great Tutor and Selection

I want to give Five Stars to WyzAnt in helping me locate a wonderful tutor in the Destin, Fl area for my 6 year old granddaughter. I receive great reports from both the tutor and my son. My granddaughter is improving in her reading skills, and she is currently working on math and counting. Suzan has been great, and I can tell that my granddaughter has improved self esteem and has more interest in books and learning. Thanks so much WyzAnt! I am sure that we will be renewing when our credit has been exhausted!

- Kathy from Destin, FL
Excellent And Speedy Response To My General Tutor Questions

I read several profiles of the tutors and found a handful who looked perfect for my needs (solid concentration on SAT math prep and price). Jon M. has been a great choice. He is very thorough with my son and loves what he does!

- Jennifer from Wilmington, NC
Perfect fit

My son is 19 years old with ADD and specific learning disabled. The tutor I found though WyzAnt has been a great fit. They work together very well and he states he is finally understanding the math concepts being taught.

- Susan from Wilmington, NC
Great Tutor Search and Selection

We were impressed with how quickly we got a response and were able to obtain tutors in 2 locations (as we needed one while we were on vacation). They were both knowledgeable in their subject and helpful. We would recommend the service to anyone trying it. Our second tutor really helped out daughter to get on track for a very intensive biology course online in the summer. She helped her with her pacing of studying and doing labs. She also made some suggestions for studying skills and ways of attacking the information.

- Abby from Ocean City, MD
Great Tool!

School district policies are to provide tutor lists, but not provide any recommendations or ratings on their tutors. Consequently, I came very close a couple times to hiring tutors that would have been terrible for us. Luckily my kids knew of those teachers and were able to give me a big thumbs down. I love the ratings and feedback on all the tutors on WyzAnt, as well as the introductions from the tutors themselves. This helped us find tutors that are a good fit for our family, and that others have rated highly.

- Beverly from Sammamish, WA
Great tutors, easy service

I had the pleasure of using two WyzAnt tutors. Both were on time, ready to work and knowledgeable. I especially appreciate Christopher T. who had reviewed the assignments ahead of time, and seemed invested in my understanding and success. He took his time to make sure I understood the finance and accounting problems and was very professional. I am also super pleased with how easy it is to use the service.

- Glynda from Laurel, MD
Great Tutor Search and Selection

The tutor I used for calculus is very reliable, knowledgeable, and has helped me tremendously on my summer class, which has moved quickly. I am very impressed so far, and looking forward to your service for later classes.

- Daniel from College Station, TX
Good tutor search tool and compatible, capable tutors.

Wyzant has been a helpful site for finding a tutor. I was able to easily maneuver through the system and find a tutor that works for me.
