Reviews of Wyzant by students and parents in your community
So thrilled I found this site!
As a graduate student in sociology, I learned that one of the huge contributors to educational inequality is the "summer learning gap." It is a gap that many children in the U.S. experience after their first summer out of school. Put simply, the "gap" is a result of many students forgetting what they learned over the summer months. If you ask any teacher, it is very challenging to catch these students up once they start school again. Those students who are exposed to learning opportunities over the summer in the form of camps, activities and tutoring, minimize this summer learning gap. In hopes to mitigate the effects of the summer learning gap, I was hoping to find some kind of tutoring service. After researching the well-known "learning centers," I was discouraged by many of the reviews I read online and the overall experience of feeling like I was being sold a timeshare. That's when I found WyzAnt and I could not be more pleased! I was able to look through numerous profiles and email with many different tutors until I found what I hoped to be the right fit. Fortunately for our family, we struck gold on the first try. Margaret H. is amazing with my very active 7 year old son. She was able to tell right away what he needed help in and develop lesson plans to strengthen those areas. His handwriting is still strong and he is slowly but surely mastering phonics and becoming a more confident reader. She is very patient and knows how to keep his attention. WyzAnt allowed me to invest in my son rather than invest in a corporation that would have transformed my son into a number. Thank your for this service! It is worth every penny!
Wonderful Service
Your site is awesome. Without your service, i don't think i would have been able to find the best tutor i have ever had. Thank you so much.
Very Helpful Tutoring Experience
Wyzant provided an easy method of searching for a competent tutor. I prepaid for lessons which were deducted after each tutoring session so I did not have to think about making payments later. The tutor I selected, Patricia H was remarkable. We initially met so she could assess my needs and lessons began immediately. Her knowledge was impressive and teaching style comprehensive. I would definitely use Wyzant again and suggest it to others.
Pretty easy to use
I found Wyzant easy to use. After reviewing the info on several tutors, I selected one to contact. That led to another half dozen contacted me (which was not necessary and a bit annoying, although had the one I contacted not worked out, I might have tried one of the others). Rosie has been easy to work with, and my daughter really likes her help. We'll learn more about the effectiveness of the tutoring when we see how a couple of tests and how homework goes. I appreciated having WyzAnt as a resource. I have a little concern about how big the percentage of the fee is that WyzAnt keeps however. It seems very high, compared to the value-added from the tutor versus the value-added from WyzAnt. Please consider lowering your percentage.
Great Tutor Search anbd Selection
I am extremely impressed with your services. My daughter has used three tutors and each one was very good. Using a zip code really helped me to focus on tutors in the area needed for my daughter. The system is excellent and easy to use. Also like the fact that you do background checks on the tutors. Your billing system makes is also excellent. Thank you so much.
WyzAnt: Wise Decision
For me, WyzAnt was a wise decision. Their pre-screened list of tutors, with varying levels of expertise, gave me the opportunity to select from a wide range of experts. WyzAnt did the footwork, searching and screening of tutors that would have cost me a lot of time and money. With a few clicks of the 'mouse' I made a one-on-one, in-home match with a very personable tutor who is not only an expert in her field, but also a motivator who inspired my graddaughter to excel in a second language and be prepared for success in a ever growing global economy. Thanks so much!
Very helpful and easy
The Wyzant website has been very easy to navigate, we found tutors fitting our specific needs and picked one and it as turned out well! The payment page is easy to understand and it keeps track of everything for us. Great website!
Wonderful Tutor
Jennifer is pleasant, informative and has a great deal of patience. She allows him to present her with a problem that he cannot overcome, they work on it, then she reinforces it with basic math rules. He has come a long way.
Great service
Thank you, I had two tutors just to help me catch up. I only needed them once each, but they did a great job and I would recommend WyzAnt to my friends, if I need help again you will hear from me.
Great service.
This is a fantastic service. Very well organized and professionally conducted. Most of all, I'm very pleased with the tutor I selected. She's knowledgeable, professional, on time, and very focused. Overall, a great value. All positive.

Easy Steps to a Great Tutor
We recently decided to get a tutor but did not know where to start. Your website was very helpful and easy to use. Very quickly we found two excellent tutors for our daughter and her grades are already improving. The payment process works well and makes the meetings less akward. Thanks for your help.
First time user
This was our first experience with WyzAnt. All aspects were excellent. Our tutor Ellery H. was outstanding. Took a real interest in making sure material was understood. All aspects of the transaction, billing payment was seamless. Highly recommended.
