Great Tutoring Resource
We signed up for WyzAnt in October 2010 and immediately got responses from each tutor we selected. Making the selection was the most difficult part because there were so many qualified tutors in our area for high school English as well as advanced math and science courses. We chose two young, super smart (scary smart, really) recent college grads and have had great success. Dan in particular has been a great hit with our 16-year old son who was failing Geometry before we got to WyzAnt. Dan has really targeted our son's difficulties and is now helping him to strengthen his Algebra skills. Anna tutored our high school senior for the SAT writing portion and significantly improved his score. She is also tutoring him in AP Stats and Honors Physics. The bonus for us is that Anna is very familiar with our high school's math program as she tutors many of the kids from the same public school, if not the same class. Overall, we can't say enough about WyzAnt. Tutors are great, response is immediate and satisfaction is overwhelming!
No complaints
I was able to find a tutor who taught my subject. I received a quick response and was able to begin lessons almost immediately. I paid for my first hour, and met my tutor at a public location. Since I am satisfied with how the session went, I will be paying for more lessons. I am still figuring out how the payment system works, but so far everything is going smoothly. The only complaint I have is that I could only find two tutors near me for Japanese. Of these two, only one was a native speaker; therefore I really only had one choice. Thankfully the tutor turned out to be prepared and fairly personable.
So far very helpful
Your system did a very good job of putting me in touch very quickly with a number of possible tutors for a quite specific, college level math course. One possible tutor lived too far away, but within 24 hours we had connected with another tutor who lives near us. So in the space of less than three days we went from seeking a tutor to our student having his first meeting with the tutor. The tutor seems nice and well-qualified.
great find!
My son was having a difficult time in his German II class at our local high school, It's not that the teacher was bad it's just difficult to give one on one attention to every student when there are 30 kids for only 55 minutes a day. So, instead of letting him flounder for another semester I decided to Google German tutors and up popped the WyzAnt website! I am so glad that I did that because my son really likes his tutor and in just 15 minutes of his first official lesson she clarified noun cases which he said was huge! He stated at we were on our way home way home "what a good feeling it was to finally understand the noun cases and how it will be so much easier to move on." I think that the time and money will be well worth it. My son is looking forward to a better understanding of German and ultimately a better grade! Out of the 4 tutors that responded in record time I think that we found the best fit for us! Thanks WyzAnt, I thought that finding a good German language tutor was going to be difficult but your site made it a breeze!
Awesome Tutor Search Site, Smooth Transaction & Flawless Process
The moment that I decided my son needed a tutor, I did a search online and was immediately directed to the WyzAnt site. I must say that as easy as it was finding the site, it was equally just as easy to find a tutor whose credentials matched my child's needs. The site allows you to sort through the various tutors utilizing an advanced search option, which is great for clients who already know exactly what kind and method of help they are looking for. The verification process was quick and easy and once my sessions with the tutor were confirmed, closing out each transaction required absolutely no hassle on my end of the spectrum, which is great when you are a very busy mother, wife and business owner. I receive an invoice and lesson evaluation through email shortly after the sessions end and the payments are automatically deducted from my account. What better way to do business than a paperless process, let alone the positive way in which this method of doing business contributes to the earth and all of the green efforts being made in this day and age. I must say that I have yet to encounter a company that provides a service requiring real people that in turn expose you to a process that is virtually flawless. I cannot even comment on areas of their service that require the use of customer support because the accuracy of this service has yet to fail me. WyzAnt has definitely dotted all of their "i's" and crossed every "t". Thank you WyzAnt and I would definitely recommend the use of this site for anyone looking for additional help in just about any area of their academics and beyond.
Great Tutor Search and Selection
This is the best tutor service I have found ever! WyzAnt.com provides an easy and transparent way for tutor search and selection. You see what you get. Some of the tutors have background checks to make you feel better to have them come to your home. The payment is easy and the price/hour rate is actually lower than the tutors I found via other approaches for the same quality. Most of the tutors are good and we have hired them for long term helps. As a parent who spends lot of time traveling out of town and out of the country, I really appreciate WyzAnt.com for providing such a wonderful services to make it possible for me to be able to help my kids on the way! It's highly recommended!
Excellent site to find a suitable tutor for students
Finding a tutor was much easier than I had envisioned with WyzAnt. I searched online for a tutor in math and spanish and WyzAnt popped up. I had no idea what a gem we had found. Our 16 year son struggled greatly last year in math and other subjects and we did not want a repeat this year. I submitted our requests with our ideal location and had responses within hours! We could read about each person's profile, their experience, rates and own personal statement regarding their qualifications to teach our son. Several agreed to meet with us that week at OUR chosen location, which is our local library. Additionally, after each session, we receive a note from the tutor informing us on what they discussed and what would be helpful for us to know. The tutors actually welcome an e-mail from the parent or student and are quite respondent. We are thrilled that our son is saying "I get it" with resulting higher scores on tests, quizzes and homework. Our son enjoys meeting his tutors locally and at the time that works with his sports and school schedule, as well as on the days that do not conflict with other events. He feels he connects well with his tutor too. I'd highly recommend obtaining a tutor through WyzAnt. This is a great all around solution for us and our son. We were able to hand pick our tutor and the price is very reasonable. We simply pay on line through paypal. Also, if you want to pay for a certain number of sessions ahead of time, they offer a nice discount, yet if you do not USE all your tutoring time, you are reimbursed 100% for all unused dollars. It's a well thought out system. A response from Customer service has been just as quick as the tutor - within hours! Both my husband and I have been shocked by the high quality service....not seen much these days, to be honest!
WOW! Great experience with our wonderful tutor!! :)
Wonderful experience! We couldn't be happier with our tutor's expertise, kindness and willingness to teach. She was cooperative and considerate about our meeting place. She was thoughtful enough to consider a quiet place with consideration to the least amount of distractions! She was concerned that the materials they were going over were consistent to what was needed. So happy with the experience and have already made recommendations to others about WyzAnt as well as with our tutor. Thank you so much for offering this service, it is very much appreciated.
Great Tutor!
WyzAnt has been a very user friendly site. After struggling to find a tutor elsewhere I came across WyzAnt. After creating an account, I was contacted by many tutors. I emailing with a few of them, and was able to find the tutor I had been looking for! In the past I had struggled with finding just the right person. No hassles! The billing is very straight forward and they have great discount packages. Finding a tutor through WyzAnt is making a very big goal, which I thought was unobtainable, a reality! Thank you WyzAnt!
Great tool for finding exactly what you are looking for
As a child I was placed in a preschool program that immersed me to the French language. As a direct result I have had an ease with languages as an adult and I knew before I ever had children I would look for a similar program for my own children. As my two children reached preschool age I began an exhaustive search for a native French speaker to play with them, read them stories, etc., and to generally expose them to the language as I had experienced. It took me two years of searching before I came across the WyzAnt site and within a week and a half we had our first session with our wonderful native French tutor. She was everything I had hoped to find and WyzAnt made the entire process so easy. Registering through the site, setting up tutoring sessions, paying for sessions, and even leaving reviews are so easy through WyzAnt. I highly recommend this website and will be a loyal customer from now on! Thank you!
