Wyzant reviews by tutors
Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
I have been teaching for WyzAnt since the summer of 2010. All my paychecks have been by direct deposit. The website is designed to see how each penny earned is distributed to the tutor. Customer service is prompt and the website also notifies me when a potential students needs one of my services. Thanks WyzAnt for helping me!
I am happy with WyzAnt because it connects me to prospective students in my area. It cuts out the talk about way of payment, making the relationship go smoother and assuring me it is safe.
WyzAnt has been great! It has allowed me to turn tutoring into a 20-30 hour a week full-time job. I love that the site is easy to use and provides all sorts of ways for me to not only find students, but organize them once I've started tutoring. The best part is that WyzAnt takes care of all of the money. You can charge clients for the exact amount of time that you work. When tutoring on my own, I always had problems with customers not having the right bills or having to round to the nearest hour or half hour. WyzAnt, on the other hand, does it all by credit card. They also make communicating with parents easy with the session feedback forms. Unlike working with a tutoring company, you make an appropriate percentage of what you charge your clients and have complete freedom to tutor the way that you want to, use the materials you want to, etc. If you are a great tutor, WyzAnt will give you the tools you need to make it into a successful business.
Student ratings and feedback create a professional history.
There's no other tutoring site like Wyzant's! Student ratings and feedback create a history that new students can trust. One of the many reasons so many students like finding their tutors on Wyzant.
I am very impressed with WyzAnt. I enjoy tutoring on a part-time basis in order to help those who might be having difficulty. WyzAnt makes it very easy to find potential students and assists in coordinating the entering of sessions and taking care of any payments needed. Excellent and professional organization. I have reviewed a number of potential tutoring sites and WyzAnt is, by far, the most organized and easy to use.
I just performed my first lesson, and I think that WyzAnt runs an excellent system. My student actually found me, and through the e-mail system we were able to set up a meeting. Things went quite well - and I hope this was just the first of many success stories to come!
WyzAnt - Top of the line organization, marketing, and technical support
When I first signed on to become a Wyzant tutor in November, 2010, I had absolutely no idea what would ensue at that point. All I knew is that I had a strong desire to increase my visibility to prospective tutoring clients in the widest possible fashion. What has transpired since April, 2011 has truly amazed me. In just a little over a year's time from that point I am currently closing in on 400 hours of logged in session time. I've always had a lot of drive and been detail-oriented, so to be able to partner with a national tutoring business that has an A++ website design in every sense of the imagination has been a godsend. The structure for supplying ALL different kinds of detailed information is in place and there is no limit as to what one can achieve with this. Technical and account status issues have been repeatedly resolved in a courteous and timely fashion, and ongoing website and program upgrades will only make reaching targeted audiences that much more effective. To borrow a line from the conclusion of my high school valedictory address, "To us there are no limits, our limit is the sky", describes the mindset that will continue to ring true with my WyzAnt experiences.

I think WyzAnt is a very professional organization. They are very prompt in responding to us when a student has requested us as a tutor. Also they are very prompt in the procedure for payment. I have and would recommend this company to prospective students and tutors alike. I also like the fact that any tutor can respond to the prospective tutoring opportunities and we are not forced to accept any particular position. I am happy I found this outlet as a means of tutoring and helping students.
WyzAnt is such an efficient, streamlined system of teaming up the tutor with the student. The tutors are there, the jobs are there and each one can easily reach the other. I can see why this service is a national phenomenon!
Great way to connect with students
What is great about Wyzant is it allows educators to easily connect with students. It has been a positive experience using the website and it is simple for students to see what each instructor is about by seeing their bio. The filtering feature makes it easier to see what potential jobs might be out there within your teaching scope. A mobile app would be a great addition for me and instructors who use a lot of mobile apps as their communication. Overall, a great resource to get out there to connect and educate the eager mind.
The thread that connects students to tutors and vice versa!
WyzAnt is King of all online tutoring networks! Not only can I advertise myself and my services as a tutor to a broad range of students, but students can do the same themselves to tutors all over the country via the valuable method of two-way communication-marketing both parties can take advantage of when trying to attract business. When a student (or their parent/guardian) is ready to reach out and touch the hand of the perfect tutor, the student can do so by advertising a gig on the network with a detailed description of what/who they are looking for in a tutor. Gigs of sorts are viewable for tutors "qualified to teach a certain subject" (you have to either A) pass a test to verify your core knowledge in a given academic field of interest and expertise; or B) submit your qualifications to tutor a specific subject via the business assets of your own professional background as an educator), and if interested, the tutor can "Apply for the job" by clicking the gig's link to learn more about the job's offerings, submit a cover letter introducing themselves to the student electronically via email, and then wait for a response from the student. This feature is extremely handy because it allows the tutor to make the first move when negotiating a business contact! As usual, a student can reach out to a tutor directly on the network via a personal email, stating their own business proposition, and inquiring about the tutor's interest in- and availability for carrying out the job at hand. Finally, perhaps the greatest means of communicative connectivity appears in the form of online lesson submissions on the tutor's part. Before money can be earned (deducted directly from student's previously-submitted credit card payment information upon hiring a tutor from the network), a tutor must provide a fairly detailed written description of the lesson carried out with their student(s) following the actual tutoring session. This is excellent for record-keeping on behalf of both the student and tutor! The tutor can keep track of what they have done with the student up to a point, and the student/parent-guardian can make note of how much progress their child has made over a given period of time! If all goes well, you will find yourself attracting multitudes of students, enough to possibly make tutoring your full-time academic profession for years to come! And in the event that you do a tip-top job as an instructor, your students will provide testimonials of your excellent service on your profile for all current and future students to read when selecting a tutor of their own. Thanks to the wisdom of WyzAnt, students can improve their academic performance, and tutors can expand their professional horizons!
WyzAnt is set up wisely to serve both sides of the transaction
After working with and for WyzAnt for only a few months I am convinced that this is the easiest, most transparent and most helpful tutoring service for both the tutors and the students. The site is super easy to work, heads-up come in my email about potential students, emailing through the site protects the privacy of both ends of the connection, and direct deposit with notice is fabulous. I have recommended WyzAnt to several possible tutors and will continue to do so. This is good part-time work for me that I can totally control. Big thanks to those in charge. Great idea!!
Great service
WyzAnt quickly sends me emails about new tutoring opportunities for tutoring Chemistry in my area. Without WyzAnt, I would not be able to effectively know about these opportunities. I have found WyzAnt to be excellent in their service and the website is very easy to navigate. The WyzAnt team is a great opportunity for me.
My experience has been very positive. I have had the opportunity to use my varied skills in a variety of subjects. I've met a lot of nice students and parents and enjoyed myself along the way.
I have been working with WyzAnt for a while and I have found that they take good care of the students as well as of the tutors. WyzAnt policies are clear and understandable and they make the process of finding students, payment and communication very clear. Finding students using its website is a wonderful way to connect with prospect students in the community.
Great service
I have been working with WyzAnt for almost a year. I moved back to Conneticut from Spain, after being with my family for 5 years, so I did not know anybody in Connecticut. Thanks to WyzAnt finding new students was so easy. I am very thankful to WyzAnt. Every time I had a problem or a question WyzAnt was very professional helping me and answering all my questions. Congratulations for the hard work!
Excellent Service
WyzAnt is the most professional tutoring agency/website I have come across in a long time. The website speaks highly of the professional manner in which tutor search is conducted. I have been a tutor for close to 1 year and i have greatly enjoyed every aspect of it. The customer service people are professional, polite, friendly and very helpful and always cater toward your needs very promptly. This is indeed a great tutoring website. I encourage students from all over the United States of America to avail this great tutoring service.
Great for Tutors!
I have had a wonderful experience with Wyzant. The tutoring process has been so simple and enjoyable. Getting connected with students and working with them is much less stressful through such an organized company. Wyzant is always prompt when answering any questions. My students and parents of my students have also had pleasant experiences with Wyzant. I didn't expect to become a full-time tutor so quickly!
I submitted my application to become a tutor on Saturday 9/25/2010. My account was activated by 9/28/2010 Tuesday afternoon which was extremely fast. I certified for my subjects by taking the tests which were very fair. I started checking for tutoring jobs and found some immediately. Some other tutoring companies that I have used don't get as many leads as WyzAnt. This proves to me that they are doing a great job with marketing and their tutors are happy. Another great benefit is that they will pay you by direct deposit, even every day if you choose that option! Most tutoring companies do not offer direct deposit. The website is very easy to understand and I have been getting emails from WyzAnt about new opportunities. I highly recommend WyzAnt for anyone that is looking for tutoring opportunities.
