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.
An excellent way to find excellent tutors
Wyzant has been most helpful in finding qualified tutors, and clients can check out student reviews on the tutors. Wyzant, you are the amazon.com of tutoring! I especially like your features which include the background checks, and requiring qualifying exams for the tutors. Payment is easy and affordable in most cases. Thank you, Wyzant.
Great response and tutor help
Needed a tutor same day - found one and was contacted within 1 hour and had someone that afternoon - has been tremendous help!
Quality and Experience of WyzAnt Tutors
I am blessed with having the right tutors for my daughter through WyzAnt. The quality and experience of the tutors is excellent. With the help of WyzAnt tutors, my daughter has a good grasp of the subject. You compare tutors first and you can try different tutors till you find the perfect tutor. Sometimes you get the right tutor from the first try. Tutors come to your home or office and payment is deducted automatically from your credit card on file after the lesson is done. The tutor sends you an e-mail with the lesson to review with the hours spent on the lesson after he/she leaves your home/office. It is convenient that the payment gets deducted afterward from your credit card on file with WyzAnt. By the way, WyzAnt tutors are always accurate in their time spent with student computation. It is a wonderful service.
Never a bad experience.
I have used Wyzant for the last 2 years and each tutor for each subject was well versed. I am so glad I found this website it has surely saved me from many stressful situations.
Great Service
I'm so happy that I found WyzAnt. Finding a tutor was very easy and we love the tutor that we are using. Payment is also very easy. Great job, thanks.
Finding a good fit for your student
Finding good tutors is especially important to us because my daughter is home schooled. We needed tutors in a couple of different subjects and were able to find good ones through WyzAnt. I like the fact that the selection is so large; we were able to find a good fit at a good price. There was one tutor who, although she wasn't doing a bad job, did not leave my child very excited about the lessons. We discontinued working with her and easily found another tutor from WyzAnt who made the subject exciting and vivid. My daughter looks forward to these lessons. So sometimes it can take a little work to find just the right tutor to get your kid excited about learning but it is easy to do through WyzAnt. We are very happy with their services.
Great tutor search and selection
I have found my experience with WyzAnt to be very positive. I was happy with the tutor selection process and how quickly the tutors responded to my posting. Brian has been a wonderful resource for my son and is a polite, responsible and very accommodating young man who is genuinely interested in my son's success in his lessons. I have found the payment process to be easy and hassle free and I feel good about knowing that I am dealing with a reputable company who makes sure that my billing information is secure.
I've started recommending it to my friends
Teachers are excellent with WyzAnt. Their availability is very flexible. More choices of teachers available for most of the subjects. For some subject areas WyzAnt needs more teachers. For example, AP English. The first time I thought it was just a simple website. But, as and when I get more choices of tutors and excellent customer service, I decided to stay with WyzAnt. I've started recommending it to my friends also. Payment is very smooth and easy with credit card. They charge exactly what they promise. I have used websites and their services from care.com, sylvan learning and Whizard Academy. The overall experience with WyzAnt is excellent and far better than others. One complaint: There should be a printing feature that would allow us to print all the payment history in a report form in the printer. For example, I want to print a report on how much I paid to whom and how many hours in a printer not on the screen only. Thanks, Usha
Great tutor search
Overall great tutor search and selection understanding more than I did before. Very knowledgeable and comes more than prepared. My tutor was in contact with as soon as I posted for a tutor. The payment system works well in notifying of payments. Call centers are helpful and friendly. I am also interested in getting a package deal.
Good Tutor Search and Selection
WyzAnt has a good selection of tutors to select from who all seem very competent. Also they have a very good customer support system, that are able to take care of any questions you may have.
A great service
This website was very easy to use to find a great tutor and really was a life saver! Prior to using this site we looked into the local learning centers. The hourly one-on-one tutoring fee at a learning center is much higher than even the highest tutor on this site. We are very happy with the tutor we found here.
Happy with tutor
I was looking for a tutor for a young child who has ADHD, and learning problems in Math. I chose the tutor as she indicated that she had experience with these kind of problems. Even though I am a teacher I found the tutor did a much better job than I could. She engaged him at the beginning with games, and was able to redirect his attention when he strayed. Probably one of the more important aspects is that if he does not understand things presented one way, she shows him various other ways. He still is struggling, because his problems will not be easily overcome, but he feels much more successful. There was one time when the tutor was not available and he started complaining, "Where is Noelia? I need her NOW!" It was very easy to find a tutor as each tutor's biography is presented, and while I have not done this, there is the ability to switch to a different tutor. Payment is extremely simple as I just put this on my credit card and the rest is completed by WyzAnt. The customer service is good and while I have no complaints, the customer service has contacted me to make certain that all is going well. I would recommend WyzAnt to all those who need a short term or long term educational boost.
