Great Tutor and Service
I have been very pleased to use this service in all respects. The customer service rep I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and courteous. The website was user friendly. I received many contacts from tutors for the subject needed and to fit our busy schedule. The tutor we selected, Lance H. was knowledgeable and provided the appropriate help and feed back needed. I would recommend this service and Lance H. to others. Cathy
Great Tutor Search
My wife isn't very computer savvy but she was able to locate a great tutor in our area that was competitively priced. After reviewing the local tutors we made contact with two of them, reviewed their resumes and made our selection. Scheduling was give and take based upon current commitments by both the tutor and our son. Overall, using WyzAnt was a fairly simple and quick process from start to finish.
WyzAnt is a great resouce
I think WyzAnt is a great resource. The ability to communicate before buying hours to insure you and the tutor are on the same page with expectations of sessions. The flexibility makes this very desirable as you only have to commit to the hours and days you actually need. The tutors seem to be skilled and willing to accommodate schedules. I think this will be a great option to have available when my son has difficulty with math.
WyzAnt can help you find someone to tutor your loved ones
First I was not so sure about WyzAnt. But I took the chance and so far the results are remarkable. My son's interest is starting to show up again. I feel confident that everything was worthwhile. Keep up the good work. The service and personal touch are priceless.
Very thorough and connects well with my daughter
I searched for a tutor on the internet because my daughter wanted a female and all I could find through our school were male tutors. The WyzAnt website popped up when I entered "chemistry tutor in Boulder County". I really liked Rachel P.'s information and she sounded like a good fit for my daughter. We signed up for Rachel to tutor, entered our credit card info and were able to communicate with her all within a matter of a day or so. Once we made contact, we had our first session scheduled for 2 days later. It was all so easy so far! I made contact with customer service to confirm that there were no hidden charges, sign up fee, travel charges, etc. and they promptly responded assuring me that only the hourly tutor fee would apply. (an hourly fee that I felt was very fair). After our first session with Rachel, our daughter was a NEW person. It was as if a weight was lifted off of her. I have not seen her in this wonderful of a mood in a long time. She felt like there was hope for her chemistry & math classes. Immediately, our daughter wanted to know Rachel's contact info because through the magic of texting, she had already told 2 classmates that they should book Rachel to help them with the same class that they all were struggling with! A good sign, I'd say! We have now had 2 sessions and are so encouraged that our daughter does not feel lost and is actually "ready" for her test on Tuesday...after only 2 lessons!!! I'd say this is a very good sign!!! Thanks Rachel!!!
WyzAnt found me the perfect Arabic tutor!
I cannot believe how quickly I was able to find a "perfect tutor" of Arabic by using your site! I submitted my need to find an Arabic-speaking tutor to help me with a specific situation: I had had my progressive curriculum of Arabic study at a language school interrupted and felt unready to enroll in the next level. What I sought was a tutor, very knowledgeable about the Arabic language, who could review with me and bring me up to a comfortable level of competence for continuance at the school. Within hours of my submission, I received a response. The responder stated that he believed he could help me. The tutor offered to meet me in person to see if we were a match. What I really liked about WyzAnt is that I was able to communicate by e-mail before posting any funds; I was a first-time user and felt hesitant about offering a credit card number at this early stage. Once I met the teacher, I immediately posted funds, taking advantage of a 5% discount, as I knew ahead that we were expecting a need for 5 or 6 lessons. WyzAnt also allowed me to find a local teacher, which both teacher and student appreciated! A day or so later, I also received another response from the WyzAnt service. This person also sounded very competent, but politely withdrew when he/she heard that I had made a commitment to another teacher. Although my immediate need has been satisfied, I have become so fascinated with your service that I'm thinking about contracting with tutors in fields other than Arabic: who knows, maybe someone could finally teach this 69 year old to swim!
Tutor Search
I began my search by Googling "tutors" in my hometown. WyzAnt was reviewed by the need of type of tutoring (writing), what tutors were available and how to contact the tutor and cost. WyzAnt was able to summarize each tutors' capabilities and what subjects they were qualified to teach and/or tutor. The ease of contacting the tutor and the payment for lessons was excellent. You are able to choose how you want to pay and have discount payment plans. We were able to set up an appointment within a couple of days with the tutor. You receive e-mails stating the results of the tutoring and what the payment was. I will continue using the WyzAnt for my boys tutoring needs. Thank you.
Easy and efficient site
Met with Chris for the first time today. He spent time getting to know me and how I process. I split the hour with my son. We didn't have much time together but we're able to formulate a plan for my success. I felt Chris was supportive and encouraging. WyzAnt was easy to use. I'm not one that has the greatest computer skills so for me to get around the site and explore the potential offers and feel that is was "friendly" is huge. I have considered tutoring before but was put off by the site being too complicated. Even though I knew who I wanted as a tutor, I received many responses to my inquiry. I looked up the profiles of the tutors who responded and decided to stick with one that I had already chosen. Because I am in a program that will take me a few years, I opted for the largest plan and was happy to get the discount. My children have done other programs and I have never been offered a discount even when having multiple children at the site or being a repeat customer. I also like that my tutor sends an email after we have met summing up the work for the day. It helps me as a parent to monitor the work my son and he are doing (even though he (tutor) is awesome at communicating with me in person also). I can also send my own comments and questions to him via email. I found my tutor to be flexible, available and proficient and am looking forward to the next time we meet. Knowing I have someone to help me through the things I find challenging makes me feel much more confident as a student. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. It's great to have someone support me in the trenches.
Awesome System for Introducing Tutors to Students
WyzAnt is able to clearly provide you with the specific information you need regarding your tutoring needs. I was able to type in the subject and zip code, and immediately a list of options appeared. It saves you time by giving a personal introduction by the tutor, as well as a list of their qualifications/experiences/certifications and the tutor's rate. This way you can easily shuffle through the list and find what meets your needs and budget conveniently without having to go through an awkward negotiation. It's great that they guarantee the first hour, that way if it doesn't work out with that first tutor, you can find another one without feeling like you have lost money. I was surprised when I started getting emails from tutors that located ME offering me their services-- making it even easier on me! It's a great system that I personally found to be very helpful and reliable. I would definitely recommend it to others. In fact, I already have!
Great tutor!
Our son was struggling with Geometry and were in need of a tutor. Joshua R's bio sounded great but we weren't sure how he would connect with our son. We are so glad we picked him because he has made math fun and easy for our son. Our experience has been nothing but positive. It's nice that he can accommodate our schedule when needed. I love paying via computer for our tutoring, it convenient and never having to deal with money with tutor.
