Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
Very happy with this service
I have tried other tutoring companies before, as well as, have used a tutoring company in the past once to prepare for a final exam. After using a tutor myself and paying for two hours of absolutely no help at all, I always make sure that my clients will never feel that way. This company is the most user friendly tutoring service I have found yet. I am surprised how many students I was able to find, and how many actually contacted me. Great work!
Great Two Years as a WyzAnt Tutor
I signed up to be a WyzAnt tutor in 2009 and have tutored 400+ hours since then. I have found the WyzAnt team in Chicago to be both professional and innovative. Half of the students that I tutor, mostly for high school math, physics, SAT and ACT come to me through WyzAnt. I do not hesitate to tell parents to submit their billing information so we can begin our lessons since WyzAnt is an honest and legitimate business. Even though I tutor most of my students in my home office, WyzAnt has never given me trouble for not tutoring them in their own homes (I give my students a choice). Several months ago I was contacted by WyzAnt's VP of Marketing who asked me not to include my personal email and Web site in my correspondence to my students. I understand why WyzAnt would request this I think it makes good business sense. This issue resolved quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend using WyzAnt to parents, students and tutors.
Great service
Working with WyzAnt has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. I tried making it on my own as a tutor for a while, but was never able to build up a stable clientele. WyzAnt takes care of all the behind the scenes work, allowing me to focus on what I do best. They really earn their keep. I just recently passed the 400+ hour mark with them and couldn't be happier. Whenever I have had issues or questions, they have always been quick to respond and quick to resolve them to my satisfaction. Their staff is friendly and helpful, and I know the students I work with are really happy with the service as well. Thanks guys!
I can't even begin to describe how elated I am to be a part of the Wyzant Community. To be honest with you, I simply stumbled onto the website one day, and I thought, "Hey, I'm a good teacher and I just want to help others." Wyzant provides the perfect vehicle for exactly that. I've wanted to be a tutor for a long time, but I didn't know how to get involved. Wyzant is perfect for those who want to help others without having to do the legwork to find students. The process was simple, just fill out the information that you should know by heart anyways. Within a few days you're set to go. The certifiable tests are great as well, they test your overall knowledge of the subject without requiring you to be perfect. I'm so happy with this website that I've told all my friends and family about it. I highly recommend you join this site if you love to help people and make money in the process. Wyzant takes all the politics, potential conflicts, and work out of the way, so that you as the tutor can just concentrate on teaching your students. It doesn't get any easier than this! I wish I knew about Wyzant when I was in school. Thank You Wyzant for this amazing opportunity. Regards, Deepak K
I believe that WyzAnt does a terrific job of connecting people that need tutoring with the appropriate tutors. The tutors' self-descriptions create a level of comfort for the student or student's family. This is essential in this day and age. I have taught corporate level classes in creating a harassment-free work environment and I know that people need to be cautious about who they allow into their homes, around their children, and around themselves. I have gotten the most wonderful students, and am thankful for the opportunity to help them become the star students they were born to be!
Great lead generation system
Since I joined WyzAnt over 2 months ago, the number of qualified leads increase every day. I really enjoyed tutoring my students and witness their improvement. One on one tutoring indeed pays off for students looking a way to really understand concepts, specially with subjects such as Math.
Finding Students
This has, for the most part, been a positive experience. I like working for this company. Listing are prompt and useful. Sometimes a little disappointing finding more students. But all in all a great company to work for. Looking forward to working here for quite a while.
I found this website is very useful to find students. I am enjoying working with WYZANT very much. Md
Great Service
Wyzant works great because the scheduling is set by me. However, initially the pay percent is very low unless we set a high price for tutoring in which case the number of students approacing us is minimized.
All potential so far
I have only been aboard about a week and have only found potential jobs. I've emailed close to ten opportunities, 3 have replied and of those, one seems interested when the semester begins in September. In the last half of August, there are virtually no current classes in session, so I can't expect as much. I'm anxious to see how things pick up once school is back in session. I'm very comfortable with the layout and functioning of the site. I can easily find opportunities and respond to them.
It was very easy to sign up as a new tutor. My Profile page is very attractive. The Marketing Materials that you offer are excellent. It was less than a week before I received my first client. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BEING A WYZANT TUTOR!
Great Opportunities to render Service
I have had the opportunity to utilize my skills as a means providing a needed service, with the overall intent of giving back to others, because knowledge gained is something that one will take with himself or herself, and no one can take it away. WyzAnt has provided me with an excellent platform, with modern day technology, to do this and I encourage others to utilize WyzAnt's features with the ultimate intent providing a real service by enhancing our society.
WyzAnt has live people to talk to, should you call in about an issue! That's been very helpful to me as a fairly new tutor, when I had a few topics in dealing with students that seemed to fall outside the the FAQ set of answers, or frankly I thought the topic wouldn't be covered and so I didn't look there. The several reps answering the phone are very easy to talk to, easily understand the issues I've raised, and come up with practical solutions.
Nicely organized
I like your system. You give good direction to tutors for working with your system in order to give and receive optimum results and self satisfaction on all respects. This will be a nice rewarding experience. Thank you for the involvement.
My tutoring experience with Wyzant has been seamless and better organized than I could have accomplish without the organization's help. Despite having run a language school myself for nearly 5 years, I have found that working freelance has many pitfalls including enforcing cancellation policies, keeping track of billing, and payment information for taxes at end of year. Working with Wyzant allows me to accept credit cards, basically, and be assured that payment will be forthcoming on a regular schedule. In addition, the communication between student and tutor is greatly enhanced by the online session reports which also help me to keep track of what my student and I have done together. Finally, the staff at Wyzant is intelligent, helpful and responsive. I have recommended other teachers to Wyzant with the knowledge that their experience will undoubtedly be as consistently good quality as my own has been. Many thanks!
The website is good
The website is easy to use. The payments are made in a timely fashion. The two tutoring jobs I've had so far have been quality clients and we have worked well together. I think the payment plans deter many potential tutoring jobs.
Excellent for Tutors and Students
I started with WyzAnt 13 months ago and they have provided me with many tutoring opportunities. Based on over 600 hours of tutoring through WyzAnt, I strongly recommend WyzAnt to anyone interested in tutoring and to anyone in need of a tutor. For tutors, they have excellent marketing and administrative skills. They handle all the billing and allow you to focus more on tutoring. For students, they certify tutors, provide student feedback on the tutors, display background information on tutors and courses, safely and reliably handle billing, etc. WyzAnt is an excellent alternative for both tutors and students.
Easy To Use - No Billing Hassles
One of my favorite features of using WyzAnt is the fact that they take caring of all the billing. I no longer have to worry about preparing invoices, collecting pass due amounts or making adjustments to accounts. WyzAnt takes care of it all and all I have to do is just enter the time and date of the tutor sessions. I have more time to focus on my student lessons plans. Customer service has been great. Representatives have been polite and helpful.
