Highly Recommended Tutoring Search Site!
I work in a high school but when my son needed advanced math help I did not know where to turn. I found WyzAnt Tutoring on an internet search and I will admit, I was a bit wary. I had never heard of this site and in general am not one for trying unknown sites. After looking at the site I decided to try it and emailed a tutor in the subject area. By the end of the day at least 5 tutors in my area had emailed me. I selected a tutor, gave her a contact number and set up the first session the next day. Payment is so simple. I put it on my credit card through the WyzAnt site and WyzAnt keeps track of the balance remaining and paying the tutor. I get summaries of the tutoring session emailed to me after each session. It has only been 3 weeks but my son is already improving. By improving, I mean his math grade has jumped SIXTEEN PERCENT and he finally is starting to understand the work in class! I am so happy and satisfied. I highly recommend this site. The tutors are wonderful and the site makes finding and paying for the tutoring service easy.
Expert Tutors willing to Teach
After only spending a few minutes searching for a tutor, I found one close to where I live. After setting up a meeting with her, everything went smoothly from there. My tutor not only knew the subject calculus very well but also broke steps down to understand each point. Payment was super easy; once the session was over, the fee was automatically deducted from my account. After only two sessions I felt confident in taking my quiz, and soon I hope to do well on my next test. It's great to see good help at an affordable cost. Not only is the fee for each session low but I can buy credit and receive discount, making my payment per session less.
Great tutor
I am so pleased I found WyzAnt. It is easy to navigate and convenient. Kelvin, out tutor, contacted me right away and was able to meet with my daughter the following evening. He explained everything clearly, was patient, and very helpful to my daughter. He engaged her and encouraged her. We are looking forward to working with him for an extended period of time. I am so impressed with Kelvin and with the WyzAnt service. Mt daughter was in desperate need of support and we were able to find it within one day.
Great tutor site
Very easy to manage Account and payments. Love the package deals. Tutor so far has been very helpful and knowledgeable.
Great Tutor Search and Selection
There were a great selection of tutors within my area with the expertise I was looking for. I reviewed several tutors backgrounds and I contacted around four of them via e-mail. One of the four tutors I selected really stood out to me as far as her background. I really needed someone to help my 15 year old who has an IEP with better study habits, grammar,sentence structure, etc. Meredith of Baltimore is the tutor I choose and she has definitely backed up what was written down of her teaching experiences. Meredith listened to my concerns, listened to my daughter and then discussed the goals she would like to obtain. Our first week of tutoring was excellent. We just completed our second tutoring session and my daughter was very enthusiastic and more confident. Payment for the lessons are very easy. Payment is made via credit card on-line. I have and will recommend WyzAnt to others.
Great Tutor and Service
I have been very pleased to use this service in all respects. The customer service rep I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and courteous. The website was user friendly. I received many contacts from tutors for the subject needed and to fit our busy schedule. The tutor we selected, Lance H. was knowledgeable and provided the appropriate help and feed back needed. I would recommend this service and Lance H. to others. Cathy
Great Tutor Search
My wife isn't very computer savvy but she was able to locate a great tutor in our area that was competitively priced. After reviewing the local tutors we made contact with two of them, reviewed their resumes and made our selection. Scheduling was give and take based upon current commitments by both the tutor and our son. Overall, using WyzAnt was a fairly simple and quick process from start to finish.
WyzAnt is a great resouce
I think WyzAnt is a great resource. The ability to communicate before buying hours to insure you and the tutor are on the same page with expectations of sessions. The flexibility makes this very desirable as you only have to commit to the hours and days you actually need. The tutors seem to be skilled and willing to accommodate schedules. I think this will be a great option to have available when my son has difficulty with math.
WyzAnt can help you find someone to tutor your loved ones
First I was not so sure about WyzAnt. But I took the chance and so far the results are remarkable. My son's interest is starting to show up again. I feel confident that everything was worthwhile. Keep up the good work. The service and personal touch are priceless.
Very thorough and connects well with my daughter
I searched for a tutor on the internet because my daughter wanted a female and all I could find through our school were male tutors. The WyzAnt website popped up when I entered "chemistry tutor in Boulder County". I really liked Rachel P.'s information and she sounded like a good fit for my daughter. We signed up for Rachel to tutor, entered our credit card info and were able to communicate with her all within a matter of a day or so. Once we made contact, we had our first session scheduled for 2 days later. It was all so easy so far! I made contact with customer service to confirm that there were no hidden charges, sign up fee, travel charges, etc. and they promptly responded assuring me that only the hourly tutor fee would apply. (an hourly fee that I felt was very fair). After our first session with Rachel, our daughter was a NEW person. It was as if a weight was lifted off of her. I have not seen her in this wonderful of a mood in a long time. She felt like there was hope for her chemistry & math classes. Immediately, our daughter wanted to know Rachel's contact info because through the magic of texting, she had already told 2 classmates that they should book Rachel to help them with the same class that they all were struggling with! A good sign, I'd say! We have now had 2 sessions and are so encouraged that our daughter does not feel lost and is actually "ready" for her test on Tuesday...after only 2 lessons!!! I'd say this is a very good sign!!! Thanks Rachel!!!
WyzAnt found me the perfect Arabic tutor!
I cannot believe how quickly I was able to find a "perfect tutor" of Arabic by using your site! I submitted my need to find an Arabic-speaking tutor to help me with a specific situation: I had had my progressive curriculum of Arabic study at a language school interrupted and felt unready to enroll in the next level. What I sought was a tutor, very knowledgeable about the Arabic language, who could review with me and bring me up to a comfortable level of competence for continuance at the school. Within hours of my submission, I received a response. The responder stated that he believed he could help me. The tutor offered to meet me in person to see if we were a match. What I really liked about WyzAnt is that I was able to communicate by e-mail before posting any funds; I was a first-time user and felt hesitant about offering a credit card number at this early stage. Once I met the teacher, I immediately posted funds, taking advantage of a 5% discount, as I knew ahead that we were expecting a need for 5 or 6 lessons. WyzAnt also allowed me to find a local teacher, which both teacher and student appreciated! A day or so later, I also received another response from the WyzAnt service. This person also sounded very competent, but politely withdrew when he/she heard that I had made a commitment to another teacher. Although my immediate need has been satisfied, I have become so fascinated with your service that I'm thinking about contracting with tutors in fields other than Arabic: who knows, maybe someone could finally teach this 69 year old to swim!
Tutor Search
I began my search by Googling "tutors" in my hometown. WyzAnt was reviewed by the need of type of tutoring (writing), what tutors were available and how to contact the tutor and cost. WyzAnt was able to summarize each tutors' capabilities and what subjects they were qualified to teach and/or tutor. The ease of contacting the tutor and the payment for lessons was excellent. You are able to choose how you want to pay and have discount payment plans. We were able to set up an appointment within a couple of days with the tutor. You receive e-mails stating the results of the tutoring and what the payment was. I will continue using the WyzAnt for my boys tutoring needs. Thank you.
Easy and efficient site
Met with Chris for the first time today. He spent time getting to know me and how I process. I split the hour with my son. We didn't have much time together but we're able to formulate a plan for my success. I felt Chris was supportive and encouraging. WyzAnt was easy to use. I'm not one that has the greatest computer skills so for me to get around the site and explore the potential offers and feel that is was "friendly" is huge. I have considered tutoring before but was put off by the site being too complicated. Even though I knew who I wanted as a tutor, I received many responses to my inquiry. I looked up the profiles of the tutors who responded and decided to stick with one that I had already chosen. Because I am in a program that will take me a few years, I opted for the largest plan and was happy to get the discount. My children have done other programs and I have never been offered a discount even when having multiple children at the site or being a repeat customer. I also like that my tutor sends an email after we have met summing up the work for the day. It helps me as a parent to monitor the work my son and he are doing (even though he (tutor) is awesome at communicating with me in person also). I can also send my own comments and questions to him via email. I found my tutor to be flexible, available and proficient and am looking forward to the next time we meet. Knowing I have someone to help me through the things I find challenging makes me feel much more confident as a student. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. It's great to have someone support me in the trenches.
Awesome System for Introducing Tutors to Students
WyzAnt is able to clearly provide you with the specific information you need regarding your tutoring needs. I was able to type in the subject and zip code, and immediately a list of options appeared. It saves you time by giving a personal introduction by the tutor, as well as a list of their qualifications/experiences/certifications and the tutor's rate. This way you can easily shuffle through the list and find what meets your needs and budget conveniently without having to go through an awkward negotiation. It's great that they guarantee the first hour, that way if it doesn't work out with that first tutor, you can find another one without feeling like you have lost money. I was surprised when I started getting emails from tutors that located ME offering me their services-- making it even easier on me! It's a great system that I personally found to be very helpful and reliable. I would definitely recommend it to others. In fact, I already have!
Great tutor!
Our son was struggling with Geometry and were in need of a tutor. Joshua R's bio sounded great but we weren't sure how he would connect with our son. We are so glad we picked him because he has made math fun and easy for our son. Our experience has been nothing but positive. It's nice that he can accommodate our schedule when needed. I love paying via computer for our tutoring, it convenient and never having to deal with money with tutor.
Great Tutors
WyzAnt offers great tutor selections at your fingertips. I am taking Pre Med courses in Chemistry and Physics and am using WyzAnt tutors for both subjects. The tutors are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I am now more confident in the applications and mechanics of both subjects and feeling overall more comfortable in these subjects. I will be using WyzAnt for my future coursework as I find it better to be well equipped than not prepared.
Thank You WyzAnt!
Excellent website. Many experienced and qualified tutors to choose from. WyzAnt made it easy to find help for my child. All you do is browse the site to find the best individual that meets all your needs. Once you submit your choice, you contact the tutor to set up the time. All payments are made on line directly to WyzAnt. It is easy and convenient. My child has had six tutoring sessions and all have been very beneficial. His confidence and interest in the subject have increased.
Great Tutor Search
WyzAnt is very helpful for me. It gives the easiest way to search and choose a tutor. I am very happy with my tutor and I am looking for other tutors to help me with other things. The price is reasonable with the discount offer, but if we could have a payment plan, it would be much more better for students. Overall, I am satisfied with WyzAnt and I would recommend this website to someone who needs assistant in their particular needs.
Helped me find a great tutor!
I was desperate for a tutor to help get me out of my organic chemistry rut. When I stumbled upon WyzAnt, I was able to find qualified tutors with various user feedback so I knew I could trust the person to lead me to succeed in the course. Once I found a tutor, WyzAnt made it easy to register a credit card that I would use to pay for my lessons, and even offered a money back guarantee in case my first lesson didn't go well. The thing I liked about WyzAnt the most was that if I just sent a message out to one tutor, I was given the option to alert other tutors in the same field of study to contact me as well, so I had a wide selection of flexible tutors.
Great tutor options and selection
WyzAnt has an extensive selection of knowledgeable and eager to help people on the roster. During my search for a math tutor for my 5th grader, I was supported with good customer service and a large pool of applicants offering their services. I finally chose someone with an engaging personality and a wonderful knowledge of math to help my kiddo. I look forward to more sessions with the WyzAnt tutor.
Great experience overall!
I was able to find an exceptional tutor for my specific needs. Customer support has also been a great experience. Overall, a great service - thank you!
WyzAnt - A Pretty Wise Move
What a find WyzAnt has been for me and my granddaughter! I looked at other options and not only were they extremely expensive for these tough economic times, but they also required that we go out to their facilities, (another expense). In addition, that would mean another night or two out of the house when she is only four and she already has pre-school during the day and classes on three nights. So far this has been a perfect solution to my dilemma about tutoring my granddaughter in reading. I taught my own children to read, but my work schedule has become increasingly hectic making it impossible to devote the needed amount of time to tutoring her myself. I also got to choose someone I thought would suit her personality and learning style. Where else would that be possible? I appreciate the ease of paying for lessons as well. The payment is posted in a timely manner so you don't forget about it and they send you a receipt immediately. WyzAnt: It just makes sense, economics-wise, time-wise, personality-wise, needs-based, WISE, common sense. My wise old aunt would be proud.
Pleasant surprise with tutoring experience
I needed a Spanish tutor for my son and I wasn't sure how to go about finding one. I found WyzAnt through Google. Once I put in my request for a tutor I got a response within a day. She lives in our same town so we don't have to drive far to meet. I also worried that my son would not want to go each week, but that has not been the case. The tutor we found is not only excellent at speaking and teaching Spanish, she seems to relate well to my son which seems to make the sessions enjoyable and fun. He brought his grade up from an F to a C in just 3 weeks, and I think it will continue to rise. His class participation grade is also much better, as when the teacher calls on him in class he is able to answer the questions. He comments after each session that it was good and helpful. Payment for lessons is very simple. I bought a lesson package in advance and a day or two after each lesson, I get an email stating the date of my last lesson and the cost and what the remaining balance is on my account. Overall I'm very pleased with our experience with WyzAnt and we'll continue to see our Spanish tutor. If we ever need a tutor in another subject, we'll definitely seek one through WyzAnt.
A great web site
We found the perfect tutor for our son through WyzAnt. I was happy that they gave information on each person, so we could match up with the right tutor for what he needed. My son and his tutor get along great. Scheduling is flexible and he's gone from an F in Physics to a high B.
Thank You For Finding Me a Tutor in a Hard to find Subject!
I was so happy when I found an organic chemistry tutor through your website. I will definitely recommend this site to others. My tutor was so helpful and knowledgeable it made learning a difficult subject a little easier. The concept she covered were just what I wanted and needed to help me through. I had been through two other tutors that were not helpful to me at all. The website made it easy to connect with people and find the tutor that was right for me. Thank you WyzAnt for providing this valuable resource.
WyzAnt to the Rescue
I want to thank you guys for your awesome service. Frankly I'm not from here and was so frustrated trying to find a tutor for my daughter. My husband told me to just do some google searches and see what comes up. I'm not a big computer fan and never google anything but was at my limit that I would do anything. Lo and behold I googled for a tutor in Utah and a bunch of places came up. I looked at two other sites and really couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do (keep in mind I'm not savvy on the web). You guys were like the 2nd/3rd site and as soon as I jumped on I knew I could handle navigating around. You made it so easy and not just that I could look at some of the tutors and read a bit about them and I LOVE that I could see how much they cost. I read about 10 profiles and choose Mikki because she seemed really energetic and was younger and guess what..her price was great. Not one to go on just that I sent an email and invited her to come over..she did a consultation and that was that. We love her and the billing system you guys have is so easy. Thank you so much. This was one more headache off of my plate. My child is flourishing and I'm able to afford her tutoring. I could not ask for me. I have already told friends about your site and my one friend is looking to see if she can afford it. I told her it was well worth it. Thank you.
I was desparate and there WyzAnt was!
My son was struggling with a few subjects in H.S. Being new to H.S., I wanted to get some help right away. I first looked into a national chain, but didn't get the kind of response I was hoping for. I logged into WyzAnt and 2 out of the 4 tutors I asked about wrote me back quickly and were ready to help right away! We love the payment options, too, because with pre-paying for our tutoring services, we were able to get a discount! The website was super easy to navigate through, and the gal we chose has been an excellent match for our son and we plan to share WyzAnt with others! Thank you!
Continues to be an excellent choice
After having 3 different tutors for my son, I was concerned about using a company versus someone we knew. I will never hesitate to use Wyzant or recommend it to a friend. Our tutor as exceeded any expectations. It is very easy to pay online so we don't have to worry about having the right cash. It also lets them go right to work, so it is money well spent. You also save money by buying packages which is also helpful.
Great website service
I was very happy with the service. It was my first time looking for a tutor online. I think I started playing around with the site and was surprised that they responded. I would definitely recommend WyzAnt.
Great Website
The WyzAnt website was easy to use. I found many experienced tutors to choose from. Overall great experience from the ease of scheduling a lesson to payment. I would highly recommend using WyzAnt.
College Calculus 1 Tutor
WyzAnt was referred by a friend to help me with College Calculus 1 in which I was having difficulty understanding some of the math concepts. Shannon L. was one of the tutors that I considered among several because of her good reviews and speedy response to e-mail me to schedule a meeting between us. She was very helpful in explaining her goals to help me with my math problems. She also was a good listener to get a better understanding of my situation. She is able to simplify and make math concepts easier to understand.
The Selection of Tutors is FABULOUS
I came across WyzAnt while searching online for a tutor for my son. The process was fast and easy. I was so happy that there were many tutors to choose from, enabling me to find the perfect match for my son's learning style. It was nice to be able to "interview" several tutors before I made a selection. We found a brilliant tutor that has really helped guide my son through improving his writing skills. His tutor was reliable and friendly and definitely qualified. I would recommend WyzAnt to anybody.
Awesome Customer Support Reps!
This site really caters to the average person because the layout is so simple and very easy to navigate. I felt very comfortable and safe in choosing a tutor, because WyzAnt is a very active mediator. I had conversations with several tutors starting out and they were all very helpful and knowledgeable, but not at all pushy. WyzAnt goes the extra mile in providing a safe environment for you by providing a background check button for you to check each tutor personally. That was very important to me – after all, this is my child and my home I’m putting out there. They are very very customer friendly. I had trouble leaving my feedback for my particular tutor so I had to email WyzAnt several times. They were so patient and courteous each time. I simply didn’t see where I was supposed to leave my review, but they were never belittling or curt. I highly recommend this site. Awesome tutors as well.
Wonderful tutor selection
My fiance Bill and I are so impressed with WyzAnt. My stepson Daniel has been struggling with Chemistry and he was getting an E in the class. Neither Bill or I had chemistry in High School and we weren't able to help. I did a tutor search for Brighton, MI and found the WyzAnt website. By the next morning, I received a note from Clark saying that he was interested in tutoring Daniel, if we had not yet found a tutor. We are so happy we contacted Clark. He is AMAZING. He has a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering and is patient, thorough and a wonderful teacher. Daniel has told me that Clark is much "smarter" than his own teacher. Clark sits with Daniel, goes over the problems with him and teaches him how to solve the equations for himself - for example: "The first thing I did was to derive a set of equations from these two formulas to find any quantity from any other. This was done by solving each formula for ?, then equating them. I left this set of equations with Daniel. When asked to solve this type of problem in the future, all he needs to do is look up on the list of equations to find which formula has the desired quantity by itself in terms of the given quantities." Isn't he amazing? We are so happy with Clark, our tutor, and know that Danny's grades will improve dramatically due to his help. Thank you, WyzAnt! We will recommend WyzAnt to all of our friends and co-workers. We love you!
Great Tutor Search and Selection
I had tried to get a Spanish tutor through the high school my son attends with no luck. I went online and googled for tutors which is how I found out about WyzAnt. Immediately after I signed up I got at least 3 emails the first day. I contacted the person closest to me after speaking to him and coming to the conclusion he could help my son. He is now tutoring my son in Spanish once a week and he does a great job with him. I thanked the others for their interest. I am glad I chose WyzAnt to find a tutor.
