Great tutor, Easy to find, Great process

We were looking for a reading tutor for our seven year old and stumbled upon WyzAnt. It took no time at all to get a number of tutors that were close by and met our criteria. We found Emily (who is awesome!) and were able to get started within the week. She has met with our son weekly for three weeks and already we see tremendous improvement! I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a tutor.

Great tutor website

It's difficult finding a tutor without a referral. This website is fantastic. If my children begin to struggle in any subject, I will go through this site to get help. Thanks!

- Dana from Bartlett, IL
Tutor search and selection

Very easy to find a tutor and our tutor has been great for our son. Several tutors responded within a few days and that allowed us to choose the one we thought would be a good fit. Everything has been easy to do including payments, appointments, etc.

- Shara from West Point, VA
Great Service

This is a great service for parents who want added help for their children. Having a tutor gives us added positive reinforcement on subjects they struggle with.

Good Tutoring Service

WyzAnt is a good tutor service I have found ever! WyzAnt.com provides an easy and quick searchable site.

WyzAnt works great

It's easy to use, the tutors are very well qualified and there are many choices. I am very glad I found WyzAnt.

Great Tutor Search and Selection

I used Wyzant to find a high school science tutor for my daughter. The process was very easy. I entered my requirements and was quickly contacted by several qualified tutors. I was able to communicate with them via e-mail to determined whether their schedules and qualifications would be a good fit. I ended up hiring Dean C and he has been working with my daughter for a few weeks. He is excellent. He knows the science material well and works very effectively with my daughter. She likes him too, which has not always been the case with other tutors we have had. I also appreciate the fact that I can handle payment for Dean's services online and do not have to worry about paying him directly. I like your discount packages too. You have a fantastic service! Thank you!!!!

WyzAnt: Finding my tutor was the best!! He was extremely helpful with my daughter and very patient. He was always available and on time for every appointment. I would highly recommend using your service to anybody.

- Kim from Whittier, CA
Very Helpful to find tutors that fit your needs

This site was really helpful to find tutors that fit our specific needs. It helps that tutors are accountable and have to write notes on their sessions. Very nice service. The background check also helps a lot getting a comfortable feeling.

- Kavitha from San Jose, CA
Very Pleased

Michael has been working with my Granddaughter and we are all very pleased with his tutoring and WyzAnt has been very easy to deal with. I find everyone that I have spoken with to be very helpful. I'm glad I found WyzAnt and Michael.

- Deanna from Cumming, GA
Positive WyzAnt Experience

I have had a positive experience using WyzAnt. I received prompt responses from possible tutors, and the profiles were helpful in my selection. My daughter was really struggling, and we were able to set up her first lesson quickly. The payment method also makes things easier not having to deal with that at the time of her lesson.

- Shelley from Cranston, RI
Very satisfied with entire process

I needed a tutor for my 8th grade son and haven't been impressed with what I've seen about the store-front tutoring agencies. I did an internet search for tutors in my area and found the perfect solution through WyzAnt. I requested more information from the tutor we were interested in, Jay McTaggart, through the WyzAnt website on a Sunday afternoon. The gentleman called me early Monday morning, we met with him Monday night and he started tutoring on Thursday - my son's choice of day and time, although Jay would have happily done it anytime including BEFORE SCHOOL if my son wanted him to. At the end of each lesson we get an e-mail from the tutor with a recap and assessment and an e-mail from WyzAnt with a summary of the lesson as well as an opportunity to rate the lesson. Our tutor submits the time and we get an email letting us know that we will be charged for the contracted rate. It's only been 3 weeks but my son has shown improvement already and we have had no problems with the any aspect of the process. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a tutor.

WyzAnt- user friendly WyzAnt tutor- reliable and helpful

I had to study for a test using a data analysis program I have no experience using, STATA, my tutor came over to my apartment building office center with the program on his lap top to help me study. After a few study session- I actually passed the test. Very thankful I had a tutor and was able to pass my test! Thanks WyzAnt!

- Kristina from San Francisco, CA
Excellent Tutor Find

We are very happy with WyzAnt's service. The tutor we selected is doing a wonderful job, and we are very pleased with the online follow-up after each tutoring session. The selection process worked very well for us. We were able to view the person's profile, email them, and also meet with them for an in-person interview. I felt very confident we had selected the right person and absolutely no pressure to select a specific person, and no bothersome phone calls from WyzAnt. Thank you!

- Jo from Phoenix, AZ
Greatly impressed with tutor and process!!!

I was nervous (and embarrassed) about finding a tutor who would fit my "simple" refresher needs, but the brief biographies on the home pages were very helpful, and I found just what I needed! The process has been easy to understand,and I have appreciated the quick updates as far a lessons and payments due. I also appreciate promptness, so the immediate feedback gives me even more faith in the process and WyzAnt. My tutor has made all of the difference! She has been outstanding at meeting my needs. I hope that others have found the same success! She NEVER rushes and just assumes that I have understood the process, but evaluates and is more that willing to further explain and let me practice many times until I feel comfortable! I'm so glad I decided to go through WyzAnt for my tutor!

- Cheryl from Fort Collins, CO
Wyzant Tutoring exceeding expectations

My experience with WyzAnt Tutoring, Rex in particular, has been highly satisfying. I highly recommend WyzAnt Tutoring to other motivated and committed students and life-long learners.

- John from Mesquite, TX
Tutors have been awesome

My experiences with Wyzant tutors have been very positive. The tutors that I've used through the site have been extremely knowledgeable and have been super helpful. They are both really nice people as well. I'm very satisfied with Wyzant and their staff.

- Marty from Brookwood, AL

Life Saver

This has been a great experience in finding a knowledgeable tutor and in our area. Love the payment system set in place and the bonus coupon send to me was money in my pocket! This is a wonderful place for your tutoring needs!

- Reba from Cordova, TN
Good Job Wyzant

It took talking to a few ducks, but we found a swan through Wyzant. The tutor we found was amazing and produced amazing results in our son's grades and confidence. We tried 2 tutors at no cost until we found one that really knew the material and clicked with our son.

- Marla from Brookline, MA
Great Tutor Finder

The Reps are excellent in Customer support. The site is easy to navigate, has hundreds of choices to pick from, any tutor you need you find it in this site.

- Christina from Darien, IL
WyzAnt has been great

I have been very happy with WyzAnt tutoring. The tutor for my son has been great and I like the method of payment. I would definitely recommend WyzAnt to others looking for tutoring.

- Ruth from Roseville, CA
Payment for lessons reduces awkwardness

My experience with WyzAnt has been very positive and I'm so glad this service exists (and that it came out of my home town Chicago!). I have been in DC for about 10 years and have used foreign language tutors on and off for almost the entire time, even serving as a tutor myself. What I like about WyzAnt the most, aside from the fact that it's quite populated with tutors which I did not expect (I expected Craig's List to have more), is that you pay the web-site and not the person. This helps create accountability and serve as a buffer between both sides. I committed to a number of sessions because of WyzAnt's payment structure, which I otherwise would not have done, and my tutor settles payment with WyzAnt, not me. Serving as the broker or agent between us frees us up to actually focus on the lesson and not worry about the underlying money exchange that often creates awkwardness or discomfort among both parties (particularly among international tutors, I've noticed). Anyway, thanks for this great service! Although I have only used tutors for foreign languages, I am now encouraged to seek other tutors (photography, cooking) and even have my husband post his tutoring services. Thanks!

- Babylonia from Alexandria, VA
Convenient, affordable and effective service

I tried finding a tutor by posting an ad at the local colleges, but due to the higher level of math involved, did not receive any responses. Then I found the website for WyzAnt, where I had access to many local tutors with experience, background checks and credentials. The site is easy to use, secure for payment and there are many choices so you can tailor your selection to location, experience, price, availability or whatever your selection criteria requires. This has been a great resource for finding a good match.

- Christie from Vancouver, WA
5 Star Rating - Overall

Josh H is great, very through, into his work. Very supportive and patient. the customer service is the best by far. I would recommend this agency to anyone.

- Jay from Haverhill, MA
We are satisfied in all aspects

Searching for a tutor was easy, and we found an excellent one right off the bat. She is talented, skilled, flexible, professional and my son is getting a lot out of their time together, learning botht the material at hand and greater lessons about ways to learn. The system for reporting on what occurred at individual lessons is convenient,and she promptly (within hours) provides detailed accounts of the session, with valuable observations about my son's progress and needs. The method for payment is convenient as well. All in all, I could not be more satisfied.

- Jeff from Richmond, VA
Easy to find a tutor.

This site is very easy to use. Also, was able to find a good tutor for my son in just a couple of hours. I would recommend this site to my friends.

- Steve from Draper, UT
I found a fantastic tutor

I knew it would be difficult to find a probability and stats tutor for an AP level senior but I finally did through WyzAnt. The system is user friendly and covers all the questions and concerns I had regarding going out of the normal local recommendations. The best part was the ability to see a resume/background on the tutors which met my criteria and is how I found an AP Stats tutor with a sports background, what are the chances of that!

- Debbie from South Glastonbury, CT
Great Tutor

I hired William S. thru your company to help my son with Algebra. He has been a pleasure to deal with, patient, and knowledgeable. Likewise, the fees charged by your company are fair and your automated mechanisms for transactions and communications are great.

- Luke from Tallahassee, FL
Easy...Professional...Great Tutors

Our experience with Wyzant has been amazing. From the beginning - getting registered, to the professionalism and quality of tutors available was excellent. The tutoring sessions have been wonderful and productive so far...producing two A tests in the past three weeks.

- Leslie from Chicago, IL
Extremely Satified

I must say that my experience thus far with Wyzant and my tutor (Kenneth) has been nothing shy of great. I have never tried a tutoring service before but I must say I would recommend using Wyzant to pretty much anyone. It has been so hassle-free that I couldn't have expected more, really. I really do think that me venturing out and asking for help will benefit me in the long run and I am so happy I found Wyzant. Thank you for everything.

- Elise from Denver, CO
Wyzant is AWESOME!!

Wyzant was able to get me a tutor fast. The site is very organized and the teacher was also amazing. The experience so far has been amazing.

- Sunny from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Awesome Experience

I would recommend Wyzant to anyone looking for tutoring services for your child. I expect to be back next year if we need more tutoring. Great customer service, easy to use site and great tutors.

- Susie from Andover, MN
Great tutor:)

I was very happy with my experience through wyzAnt. A great selection of tutors with lots of info on each which helped me narrow down which one would work best for my son. I also like the easy way that I could pay for this in advance and get a discount!!

- Cynthia from Dumfries, VA
Easy to use site

I like your site. It's easy to use and has very good tutor selection based on subject. Better than most sites I have used. This is my first choice when I need a tutor. Great job.

- Shirley from Manhattan Beach, CA
Additional payments

Thanks so much for making it so easy to add on additional payments. Just keeping the info on file makes it so much easier!

- Matthew from Deerfield, IL
Great Tutor and customer service

The teacher, Ryan P was very helpful and patient. He knows what my needs are (excel, outlook, etc., and was able to answer all my questions. Likewise, the customer service is very proficient and professional. I would definitely recommend your services. Keep it up Wyzant!

- Rose from Simi Valley, CA
Amazing Tutor and Easy to Use Website

My Physics tutor is amazing and patient, thanks to her I'm doing extremely well in my course! Wyzant's website is easy to use and helpful! Great experience during a very stressful time!

- Dana from Dublin, OH
Helped me find a great tutor!

I was easily able to search through many tutors in my area that could tutor both pre-calc and geometry. Found one that felt like a good match, and he is! Great service. So glad I didn't have to go through a tutoring company. The rates are much more reasonable, and I like being able to work directly with my tutor. Also like that it is so easy to pay online, so I don't have to worry about paying him every time.

- Carine from Oakton, VA
Great tutor search and selection

I was pleased to find this website allowing me to connect easily with tutors locally. Great choices,and backgrounds. It has been a very helpful system.

- Barbara from Hampton, NJ
Great Tutor

Selection of tutors in local area is very good. We found an excellent Maths tutor who could work to our schedule and was clearly motivated to provide the best service at a reasonable price. Very satisfied.

- Nick from Tampa, FL
Easy online access to great tutors

I am impressed by the online site and how easy it is to find a tutor there. I have especially enjoyed the review by the tutor posted online after each lesson. The tutor I have chosen is excellent and her flexibility in changing lesson days and/ or times when needed is appreciated.

- Carla from Huntsville, TX
Very helpful during a stressful time

My son transfered schools during the 8th grade. He has always been a great student, BUT Algebra I at his new school was way ahead of his old school. He was very frustrated and depressed about getting F's, then I looked up WyzAnt. I found Freddie B. and for 1 hour a week he was able to help my son understand Algebra I. It has been so easy to find the right tutor and pay for the sessions. I will reccomend it to anyone who needs a tutor. Thanks!

- Kathy from Napa, CA
Great Tutor Search and Selection

Our tutor is a great tutor for power point and facebook. I am grateful for his technical help but I am amazed that WyzAnt was able to send me a tutor with a M.Div. who completely understands my work as a church pastor -- he's even an ELCA Lutheran. A match made in heaven. Thank you.

- Denise from Saginaw, MI
Excellent service and Professionalism

I have used Wyzant's tutoring service twice now and I have to say I have experienced nothing but the best. My tutor's have given me great assistance towards my academic needs and have helped me to achieve and understand the topics I have had trouble with. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone that needs professional tutors that respect their craft.

- Eric from Orlando, FL
Specialized Tutoring Assistance

I'm very pleased with my experience with WyzAnt so far. I was seeking a tutor for very specific purposes and several contacted me within a few days. I met with one on a trial basis and she was very good, but not precisely what I was looking for. The second tutor I contacted turned out to be exactly what I had been hoping to find. She seems very knowledgeable, experienced, and enthusiastic. Her schedule has been flexible and we've been able to meet multiple time per week. Her fee is reasonable thus allowing those multiple meetings. The arrangement for payment through WyzAnt is easy and convenient. Overall, I'd have to say that I'm a satisfied customer.

- Edward (Ed) from Goffstown, NH
Fantastic Tutor

Our tutor, Josh, has been wonderful. He has been coming twice a week to tutor our international exchange student. He has done everything from showing him the proper way to use his agenda book, to good study habits and tricks for remembering things. This has been a very good experience. I had such a hard time locating a tutor. You should definitely advertise with the private, and public, high schools in the area.

- Kristin from Needham Heights, MA
Easy way to find tutors

A friend told me about WyzAnt and I have found it very helpful. The website is clear and easy to use. It allowed me to include my daughter in the search process for tutors and it has been very easy to make arrangements and pay via your website. I am already looking for a second tutor and will recommend WyzAnt to my friends

- Lorraine from Los Angeles, CA
Great tutors

I am in grad school and have two kids in college and it is helpful to be able to use one account for the different areas.

- Mary-Ann from San Francisco, CA
Quick Response and Easy to Use

I had been looking for classes to take on the History MTEL for months. There is literally nothing. Then one day I heard about WyZant and within 20 minutes I found a tutor who was close by and could help me. I did not expect such a fast response and we've been doing a couple lessons a week since then. Also, the payment method is easy to use. I calculated how many lessons I would need and ordered one of the credit packages to get a discount! This has been an easy website to use and I would definitely use it in the future. Hopefully this is what will allow me to pass my MTELs in a couple of weeks.

- Celina from Bridgewater, MA
Easy Way To Find A Local Tutor

I found just what I was looking for. I appreciate that the billing is done in increments, and not by the hour or half hour. I also like that we can see her in person, or call her on the phone for help as needed.

- Chris from Knoxville, TN
So far, so good

It took two weeks to locate a tutor who could work the schedule I needed and do it in my home....but I found a good tutor. He knows chemistry and works well with my son. Buying the lessons online was relatively painless. I'm happy. Thank you very much!!

- Kathy from Denver, CO
Awesome website!

So glad I took a look at this website! Very easy site to use, payment for lessons, communication between you and the tutor, customer support etc... Also, you can find what works for you and your child. I found a wonderful tutor right from the start and we are super excited that it's working out. Kevin has been a blessing to us with his great attitude, awesome commutication, his great expertise and reliable. My daughter is enjoying it now because she is understanding it :)) My overall experience with this website has been fantastic! I would highly recommend WYZANT!!! \

- Lauri from Anaheim, CA
Wish They Passed Out Business Cards at Orientation!

I've used WyzAnt to find tutors (chemistry and algebra) for two of my children and couldn't be more pleased with the process. My only question is "Why didn't I do this sooner?" Perhaps, it was because I didn't know about the site. WyzAnt could only be better if they provided contact information at local high school's student orientation!

- Vickie from Steilacoom, WA
Great Place To Find A Great Tutor

Everything great! the process is simple and fast! And we've got great tutor! My daughter is happy and she understands the subject even better.

- Febe from San Ramon, CA
Very pleased with the Wyzant experience

The experience of setting up an account and finding an appropriate tutor for our son has been very straight forward. Once chosen, the tutor selected has been very professional and well versed in his subject. We are very pleased with the entire process.

- Christopher from San Diego, CA
Great tutor search and selection

We've found a great tutor for our daughter. Once we mastered the details of the site everything has gone smoothly. The only thing on the logistical side is that we registered one email with the account. That email is forwarded to another email account. When we answered the tutor from the second site, we could only do it inside of wyzant. That was awkward. We didn't realize that we should have used the 2nd email to avoid confusion and delay at our end when we registered for the account. Perhaps that was clear, but we missed it. Everything else is great.

- Arden from Seattle, WA
Right on the money!!!

I live in California but wanted to find a tutor for my niece in Las Vegas! WyzAnt was extremely helpful for me to find an excellent, efficient and caring tutor for my niece. I felt like I was holding my breath but by WyzAnt allowing me to find a tutor based upon my specific needs it was great and I am able to relax knowing my niece is being taught by someone that cares! The tutor I found is a perfect match and I couldn't be more pleased and at ease. She's so open and honest and in 3 sessions my niece's confidence has skyrocketed! I am thoroughly confident my niece will get exactly what she needs from her tutor and the services provided by WyzAnt! And HOORAY for the option to check the tutors background. Thanks bunches!

- Ginger from Las Vegas, NV
Found a Terrific Tutor

We found a terrific, local tutor who was able to guide us through some difficult geometry. Once we found the site, it was easy to do a search based on the criteria we were looking for. Would recommend WyzAnt because our experience with them was very good.

- K from Windsor, CA
Chemistry and Statistics

My experience with Wyzant has been a great one! I am very grateful I chose this company. the tutors that I have had the priviliged to work with a are very professional, crisp, and knowledgeable.

- Cherise from Lewisville, TX
Great selection and system

This site gave me access to a multitude of tutors that meet my needs and criteria. Very pleased. The search was painless and did not give me "filler" tutors that did not meet the needs I searched for. Would abslutely use them again.

- Larry from Blue Bell, PA
Have Great Tutors

I have used them at two different times for my son. The tutors were super. They worked well with my son, and he enjoyed learning. Your company is the best!

- John from Ocean Springs, MS
Quality of Tutoring

My sons tutoring sessions, have helped increase his understanding tremendously. He has achieved more confidence in given skill, as well as, an improvement in his Algebra grade.

- Tammy from Puyallup, WA
Tutor Search

I was a little hesitant at relying on the internet to find assistance with tutoring. However my experience has been extremely positive. I had inquired at school guidance and was given a very brief list of names, we tried word of mouth and the typical established Tutoring businesses of Kaplan and Revolution and found the costs eye opening. However, using this website I was connected to a private tutor that is patient and caring and has engaged my daughter with the subject very well. In my opinion the cost is just right. I feel the cost is completely in line with the experience and education of the tutor. WyzAnt offered lower cost tutors not as experienced which provided me the choice right for my situation and made me feel in control not stuck. I feel totally satisfied with the costs and ease of payment provided by the website. This one was a winning solution.

- Betsy from Simsbury, CT
Tutor Search

The process for searching was very simple. I begin looking for the tutor one week and my son begin his sessions the next week. The website is very informative and user friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a tutor.

- Cherae from Perry Hall, MD
Excellent resource to find a great tutor quickly

I am grateful for the excellent tutor I found using WyzAnt. I expect my daughter to benefit from her help in her upcoming exam, and beyond. Using WyzAnt has been a highly satisfying experience. The web site is comprehensive and user friendly, and if you need to contact them by phone, customer service is pleasant and immediate. Thank you!

- Elizabeth from Debary, FL
Great Tutor thanks to Wyzant

Our experience with WyzAnt has been very helpful because it helped us find a great tutor in every way, at a reasonable cost. The payment method is easy and customer support is always accessible and friendly. Thank you very much for helping us solve our problem and take care of our needs.

- Sandy from Alexandria, VA
Easy to navigate and hire experience

Our tutoring sessions are still in progress and going fine. The tutor lets me know what my son has worked on in the last session and what he needs to work on through the website. We found a tutor that fit my son's needs, and it was an easy site to sign up for, hire, and pay for the tutoring. I will definitely use it when my other son gets ready to take the SAT's.

- Carol from Mullica Hill, NJ
Great experience!

We recently signed up for Wyzant and were able to find a tutor for our daughter. She is great! My daughter works well with her and has been able to understand sometimes what may be difficult in class with other students. My daughters teach has told me she is impressed with the improvements made in such a short period of time. Our kids may have what it takes but sometimes the teachers do not have the time for one on one or the patience. I am grateful that I found our tutor on Wyzant and maintain her services as long as possible.

- Pamela from Corona, CA
Great place to find a good Tutor!

Very pleased with the results! I definitely would recommend WyzAnt! I had so many qualified teachers responding to my request to tutor a young 9 year old who is a SPEC. ED. student and needs serious help with reading. He is very bright on many subjects but needs someone to work with him who is qualified working with young spec. ed. subjects and also has a lot of patience. Many of the teachers who responded were more than willing to tutor him and more than qualified. I believe that WyzAnt is wonderful site to find professional teacher.

- Jeffrey Allen from Central Point, OR
Great Experience!

WyzAnt's services made it so easy and to find the tutors that my sister needed. She has had 3 sessions so far, and we are all very happy with the progress that she is making. Thanks!

- Jessica from Denver, CO
Excellent Value, Wonderful Service!

I'm disabled, and find it extremely difficult to go out of the home to take classes on subjects that interest me. While the local community college is very wheelchair accessible, getting to the college is extremely difficult, requiring much paperwork and government intervention, just to arrange for a wheelchair-lift equipped ride. So when I wanted to get drawing lessons, the idea of a tutor that might come to ME instead was a godsend. The search engine worked flawlessly, and within a very few minutes, I had located a tutor who sounded enthusiastic about her ability to fit my needs. We schedule a time, and met for a first lesson. I was absolutely overjoyed at how wonderful the experience turned out! I learned more in that first hour than I had learned in months of poring over books too advanced for my level, or trying to deal with online sites that couldn't answer questions. She tailored the lesson to just what I needed to know, and to my ability as it stood. We've had two more lessons since then, and are having another next week. I don't plan to stop having them until she feels she can't teach me anything further, or until I feel I've caught up to the books I couldn't understand! I'm not only learning a lot, I'm enjoying the experience, getting good feedback -- critically important! -- and having my mistakes noticed and corrected. The one-on-one approach is truly the ideal classroom, just as President James Garfield once said -- a log with a pupil at one end, and a teacher at the other.

- Gwendolyn from Norristown, PA
Pretty good service.

Not a lot of tutors in my area for the subject matter I desire but I found one that does online tutoring so it has been working out well. So far so good!
