Great tutoring session
It's very overwhelming trying to find a tutor for your child to help them when they are feeling "under-able" to keep up in school. I was very happy to find WyzAnt and to know that they were researching all of their tutors and that I could feel confident that the tutors on the site would have the necessary skills to help my child understand his school work. I was also very happy to see that the fees were clearly posted and that I would be able to use WyzAnt to handle the interchange of payment. The process felt very "safe" as I first corresponded by email with our chosen tutor before exchanging phone numbers. Once we had scheduled our first session, the tutor was prompt and friendly when he arrived at our home. My son was apprehensive about the need to have a tutor and about what the tutor would actually be able to teach him (which is probably pretty consistent for teenage boys). I was happy to hear him showing signs of excitement as he worked problems with his tutor and learned the steps needed to solve his algebra II problems. After just two sessions, my son was able to obtain a high B on a quiz, having passed only one other graded assignment since school began. He also has gained the sense that he is able to solve the algebraic equations on his own and is now very happy to know that he has another session scheduled so that he can continue to supplement his classroom learning with one-on-one sessions with his tutor. Children all learn in different manners and finding someone who can relate to a teenager, share their knowledge and correct mistakes without making a child feel ashamed or belittled has given me hope that we may survive this year of algebra II. I am envisioning a year of weekly sessions which my son will look forward to and be open to being a full participant in the learning experience. I truly didn't expect such a quick response to just two sessions. Seeing results this quickly is amazing and I am thankful that I decided to take action when I did and that I was lucky enough to find WyzAnt and their vetted tutors. Having the option of prepaying for sessions and receiving a significant discount is a wonderful extra.
Excellent Tutor Service
WyzAnt is a great service for anyone looking for a tutor. You simply input your location and the subjects you need help with and WyzAnt will give you a list of local tutors who specialize in those subjects. The tutor we chose to work with is excellent. She comes organized and ready to work. She does a great job of coordinating with my daughter's classroom teacher so that she is always prepared to work on topics that are being covered in class. The website is easy to navigate and the lesson payment is automatic. WyzAnt takes care of the details, so we can focus on learning!
Awsome tutor and wonderful easy company to work with
WyzAnt has been a wonderful and easy tutoring company to work with. I just set up an account on a credit card and they debit my account once the tutoring session is over. I then receive an electronic report of charges and a chance to rate my tutor. If you are so inclined you can request a background check on you tutor. It's a really savvy company. The tutor we chose for my son is awesome. My son was really struggling in algebra 1. The tutor we choose, Sanjay, is dedicated and encouraging. In the first session my son felt more confident and excited about his math homework and tests. Sanjay has not only showed him the way it's taught in his class but tips and tricks for doing the problems so he recognizes and can set up the problems on his own. I could go on and on. I am so happy and glad I found your company. I give your company a A+ rating and my tutor a A+ rating. Thank you again WyzAnt and Sanjay. You are so appreciated.
Great selection
I love this website.. I am a science major in college and have used this site twice for my science classes I have struggled with. The tutors are knowledgeable and they know how to explain things in many different ways. I will be back for more help as I continue on. My first experience was with Physics and man did I hate that subject. The tutor made it so my math skills were better and he helped me understand the concepts behind the math. Right now I am currently being tutored in chem 2 for college and Its hard there's a lot of math and misusing the formulas was becoming an disaster for me. I found I tutor who was eager to teach me and shes doing a great job at it. I'm not dreading going to class every night and the labs are becoming fun now that I get the concept behind it.
very easy!
I was looking for a chemistry tutor for my college chemistry class. I searched Google several times and contacted people with personal tutoring websites. I came up empty handed every time. I was about to give up when I came across WyzAnt. I was able to find someone close to home who was willing to take on a college course. I found that tutors on other websites were not willing to help at the level I needed. I was able to contact Sally before I had to pay and fill her in on my situation. She replied very promptly and we were able to set up our first session in less than a week. I have been very happy with her help thus far. She is very patient and was able to quickly see where I struggled. I will continue to use Sally and have passed on the WyzAnt site to other students in my class who are needing help. In the beginning I was a little worried about paying up front for the tutoring time since there are so many scams online. Now that everything is set up and going, I really like paying through the website. I don't have to worry about having cash or remembering my checkbook. I simply pay for a few hours and I'm good to go for a few weeks. Overall, I am impressed with WyzAnt and will continue to use Sally for as long as she can handle me. :)
Quality tutors
We received emails from many qualified tutors and appreciate the WyZant support. We will be working with 2 of them to support our son in math and language arts. Many thanks!
Easiest way to get tutoring help.
This has been the easiest way to get tutoring help for my kids. I have had two different tutors. One for Algebra 2, Pamela P. and one for Chemistry, Anthony B. Both were really great. It has been very simple. My daughter does not have to worry about paying the tutor or forgetting the money. It has been taken care of with our account. It has worked well for us. I will keep using your program.
Awesome tutoring service and tutor!
My son has been using WyzAnt since last January and I wish I had found out about them sooner! I love how easy it is to find a tutor, read about their backgrounds and make the connection with them. It is so easy to pay for the lessons and I appreciate the discount if you sign up for a package. Annette is my son's tutor and I can't say enough great things about her! First of all, the level of her commitment and concern for his well being is amazing. She has gone above and beyond to rearrange her schedule to meet with him when he has had important tests coming up and always sends great feedback on his lessons. I couldn't be happier with WyzAnt and plan to use them for the rest of my son's college years. Thanks so much!
Tutor search and selection
All in all, i was very happy with your services ... this was the second time i have used it and was happy with both tutors.
Great Tutor Search
I am a teacher and I often need to find a tutor for enrichment for my students. Finding tutors through your site is a wonderful experience. You have done all of the work, and when we hire a tutor, I feel like I already know them. Also, their education backgrounds are impressive. Payment is so easy and I appreciate the random coupons that you offer that help defray the cost. The charges are usually fair (some are overpriced) but there is enough of a choice that it is easy to find a tutor in our price range. I intend to use your site for all of my students tutoring needs.
Amazing!!!
I have used tutors from this site for both of my daughters. Each tutor has been amazing! They all have met the needs of my girls and have been very profession. I have recommended this site and friends have been please also. Keep up the great work!
Great Tutor Selection
Our ninth grade was struggling with algebra for the second year in a row. Despite having excelled in math myself forty years ago, it was no longer within my ability to give him the help he needed. I googled "Algebra tutors in Los Angeles" and found WyzAnt. I put in our zip code and found several algebra tutors close by. It was that easy. The online profiles were very personable so our son could relate to them. I was contacted immediately by several and picked a recent college graduate in our neighborhood. After her first meeting with our son he said there was no need to interview anyone else: he had found his tutor. She was able to explain things in a way that no one else had. With her help, his second semester grade went from a D to a B+, which also replaced his D from first semester! This was a tremendous boost to his self esteem. This year through WyzAnt we found another college graduate in our neighborhood to tutor him in both geometry and Spanish. Two subjects in one tutor! Since I myself don't speak Spanish, and our son's Spanish teacher only speaks Spanish in class, it has been great to have someone provide the extra assistance he needs.
great tutor search
A very helpful site thank you. We liked the tutor and she responded to us very fast. As far as payment processing it was a very easy step to follow
Helpful site
So far, my experience with this program has been great. I like the way I was able to find the, hopefully, right person to tutor my daughter in reading and writing. I will not know how successful this all has been until I see how my daughter progresses with the tutor and her studies. I really like the method of payment. I can use my credit card and my daughter can just go and meet with the tutor without me having to have her carry money with her to handle the financial obligation. I also feel more safe using my credit card and I get bonus points from my card provider and discounts from you by purchasing more time in advance. Your website is easy to use. I do like looking at the person while reading about them. I feel more connected to the person I choose and, hopefully, my intuition about a person is correct which makes me feel even more comfortable about my choice and the program. I would recommend this site to people "in a heartbeat" !
Wonderful Experience
I have found using WyzAnt to be a wonderful experience. I have recommended your site to my family and friends. My 14 year old was struggling in Honors Geometry. From the first time Joseph came to our house, I knew we had a wonderful tutor. He had a patient way of explaining the things that my son did not understand. My son's average went from a C to a high A! He will also be able to help him with Algebra, Calculus, Chemistry and Physics. I felt helpless with these subjects, so Joseph's help is invaluable. In today's busy world, the convenience of having the tutor come to your house is great. I do not have to bother with checks or cash - Joseph enters the time, the money is charged to my credit card and it's done!
Great Tutor
Arya was great! on time, very professional and knowlegable. He takes the time to listen, and explains very well. Thank you! Monia
Wonderful Resource with stellar Tutor!
We have found every step of using WyzAnt to be effortless and fantastic. Our search for a suitable Tutor in the subject areas that we needed turned back several extremely well-qualified individuals. Our choice of Tutor turned out to be not only a fantastic teacher and guide but some one with caliber beyond compare! Our tutor's experience and education is top-notch and we felt very, very fortunate to have some one of his experience and knowledge guiding our son in his study. We will certainly not hesitate to make use of WyzAnt for our future tutoring needs!
WyzAnt is a great website
I used WyzAnt earlier in the year to get a tutor for my son in writing. I found a wonderful tutor, Carolyn. For his next report card, he went up from a 2 to a 3. Additionally, she went over some math concepts as well. In school they touch on so many math concepts and are unable to spend a great deal of time on them. I find that not "mastering" one topic before moving on to the next one was very frustrating for my son. Carolyn was able to help my son feel more confident with math. This year, my son has been on grade level in all areas. However, due to the upcoming EOGs, I have outreached to WyzAnt again -- just so that we can keep him there. Again, there are so many pre-algebra concepts that they want to expose the children to. But not enough time is being spent on a topic before moving along to another one. WyzAnt is a great website, and I'm very glad that I found it.
Spanish tutor
I wish I would have known about WyzAnt 4 years ago. I have looked and used other tutoring programs before and most of them charge a lot of $$ and they never seem to help with the current stuff they are having trouble with. They want to spend their time working on past stuff and that never worked for us. I have a son that has always struggled in math. I got online and found WyzAnt to tutor him last year in math and he seems to be doing well now. I love having the option to get him help in other subjects. I now use WyzAnt to help him in Spanish. I couldn't have gotten a nicer teacher. He really connects with his tutor and is doing much better in Spanish. I think the tutors are very educated in helping the kids. If any of my kids need help in any area I will not hesitate to contact WyzAnt.
Great tutor search
WyzAnt is a great place to begin your search for a tutor, my experience was wonderful. My search yielded me a variety of tutors within my area. I especially appreciated the customer reviews of the tutors which afforded me a more in depth look at the tutors of interest to me. Luckily we found a wonderful tutor for our son, he has a gift for teaching and has understanding of special needs children. I appreciate WyzAnt for this site, it has made a difference for our son and family.
Reliable service and system
I've found 2 excellent Italian tutors through Wyzant. The system is quite good giving learners information about prospective tutors so that one can choose a tutor based on individual needs and preferences.
Excellent Tutor Service
I am an adult student who had to take Statistical Methods and Research which was only a 5 week course. Therefore, my time was limited in order to gain the knowledge needed to pass this 4 credit course. The college instruction was good because we were able to do the exercises in class along with group discussion. However I did not have a strong math background which made this course more difficult for me to learn the basic concepts and tools. I needed to use statistical analysis to apply to my research project. I decided to search the web using Google to find a statistics tutor in the Rochester, New York area. I was directed to WyzAnt website. I was impressed with their thought provoking (zip code, mileage range, tutor profile, background check, etc.)Questions that I would not have thought enough to ask. After this process I found several tutors in my area, within 2 days, 5 professional tutors responded to my emails after I gave approval to WyzAnt for these possible tutors to contact me via email. I had several choices of experts readily available for me. I decided to have Amanda to be my tutor because she lives in my area. We met and decided that she could help me agree to a place and time and within a week, I had the additional assistance that I needed to better understand statistics. Amanda was always on time, she tutored me in a manner that did not make me feel uncomfortable (stupid). Amanda explained various concepts in steps until I understood. She did not do the work for me. However, she ensured that I fully understood the process before we moved forward in the statistics exercises. She had the patience to explain the concepts until I got it, and I did!!! I also like the simplicity of the how to process the payments, WyzAnt credit discount, and most importantly, WyzAnt customer service. I needed to know the answer to my question over the weekend, which was WyzAnt off hours. However, I emailed customer service and within the same day, I was given an answer via my email to my question. WyzAnt is an excellent tutoring service that was created thoughtfully, professionally, and is nationally known. I have referred WyzAnt tutor service to friends in Dallas, Texas. Thank you, WyzAnt for the opportunity to know about your tutor service use it, and now refer it.
Great Tutor
We used WyzAnt last year and it was great. A fantastic tutor too. Marc made a difference to my son. When I needed a tutor this year for my 10th grade son, I didn't think twice. We had Marc coming back. Thank you for your great service.
Great tutor great experience!
We were able to find a great tutor for our son who was a struggling reader. The tutor was caring and patient and really took her time to help him be successful!!
Excellent Website and Support Service
Excellent service. Your website provided a lot of information about prospective tutors. I contacted the one I was most interested in and am happy with the results. I'm happy with the amount I'm paying and am overall impressed with the quality of the service you provide.
Just existing as a service is great
Thanks for existing as a service on the Internet. I have found the tutoring effective. The website is easy to use. The customer service answers the phone promptly and resolves my issues quickly.
Very easy to use. Alot of people to choose from.
Everything has been very easy. All of the tutors responded and I am so pleased with the person I chose. Payment is all taken care of and it adds less stress.
Tutor search
So far, Wyzant has been an excellent method of finding and meeting a french tutor. I especially like the payment system through Wyzant. It is simple and efficient. Can't thank WyzAnt enough. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a tutor.
Great Customer Support Reps
This was my first time calling WyzAnt for customer support. The first representative that answered my call was so helpful. I was able to express my concerns regarding my account. She was really concerned and even took the time to research my concerns further and gave me a call back. I returned her call at which time she was on the line with another caller and therefore, I spoke with another representative. This representative also took the time to look into my situation. A couple of minutes later, Rochelle called me back to ensure everything was taken care of. I am VERY impressed with the WyzAnt customer support representatives!!
I like that the service is not complicated
I needed a tutor for my daughter for 6th grade math. I went on the website and was able to have my choice of many different tutors with varying abilities. My neighbor turned me on to it and was also very pleased with WyzAnt. I appreciate the pay as you go option, it really fits my budget.
I found the perfect tutor on WYZANT
I have been using a WYZANT tutor for over two years for my daughter. I wanted a piano teacher to come into my home for an hour each week. After reviewing many tutors online and talking to several prospectives, we were able to quickly settle on Lorraine. My daughter is now six years old and loves to play the piano. She is also being taught music theory. It has been the perfect situation. Lorraine has also helped my older child with French. Finding Lorraine was easy because of the access to many tutors on this site. I was also happy with the policy that if for some reason the tutor did not work out, I could use the money in my account for another tutor. For that reason I had no fear giving a large sum of money to WYZANT to not only use for tutors but also so we could receive a fabulous discount relative to the amount I was willing to put down up front. I would not hesitate to use this service to find another tutor in the future and I have recommended WYZANT to many of my friends interested in piano, guitar, and foreign language training.
Easy-to- Phone service, easy to use
Find a tutor was easy. The payment schedule was easy to follow. Using this site helped me find the tutor I needed. Our tutor was patient, knowledgeable, polite, always on time, available for questions by phone. The experience was altogether very good.
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.
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.
