Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
My experiences with WyzAnt have been great. I like the way it is set up. It is easy and convenient for all people involved.
I've found WyzAnt to be a convenient way to meet great students who need the talents I have to offer. The kids I've met are great, and come to their lessons prepared. Their parents appreciate the fact that I listen carefully when we first meet and that I make a plan based on what the student needs. The lesson submission function on WyzAnt makes it really easy to communicate with parents about the general content of the lesson and how their child responded. It helps keep the communication flowing. This site makes it easy to keep records of tutoring sessions and I encourage those with academic skills to check it out.
I must say, I didn't feel too confident about WyzAnt when I first signed up, but they've proven me wrong. Basically, I felt I would be lucky to find even one student, but it turned out that there are people posting for new tutors every day, and contacting them is so easy and straightforward that I actually do it! What's more, people have actually contacted me directly, which is wonderful! And they started doing that almost as soon as I signed up. I think part of the success is in having a very complete profile that says a lot about you. I imagine parents looking for a tutor want to know about you before contacting you. That's something else that I like about WyzAnt: the way the profile page is organized. Basically, it has something for everyone. For those who don't like to read too much, the basic information is there in the first part, very easy to find. But there's also lots of room to write a letter to those parents who want to know more (and, BTW, in the letter, the keywords, like the classes you teach, etc, are automatically highlighted. That's a very good idea) One other important thing I'm happy about: payment has been very prompt every single time and I have not had a single problem. I haven't tried the direct deposit yet, because I find it easier to keep track of it if I get a check, but if the checks are anything to go by, I expect the direct deposit to work perfectly too.
Excellent site!
This site is easy to use, very concise and I trust will bring students to me. The tests do check proficiency in subjects and I hope to be adding more subjects to those that I will be tutoring in the very near future. Thanks!
Fantastic Facilitators
As a new tutor for WyzAnt I enjoy that I did not have to run around chasing students as well as being concerned over payments. The background check also makes the families where I go, feel at ease in regards to who is assisting their child. I LOVE IT!
