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 Overall Service
Although only registered with WyzAnt since June, 2011, I am thoroughly pleased with the overall excellence of the website (especially the automated "New Opportunities" e-mails based on one's subject areas & radius area parameters), customer service, and the option to "View New Jobs." The "View New Jobs" option is an extremely valuable feature, particularly for me since the other (2)tutoring/coaching businesses with whom I am registered do not have this feature. Even though my 1st student was a short-term contract, I made the connection (10) days after registering. For me, that was a quick & great turnaround! I look forward to a long-term & successful experience with WyzAnt. :o)
Of all the tutoring companies that I have worked with, WyzAnt has proven to be the most reliable in terms of student referrals and also the most rewarding as to the nature of those assignments. I have enjoyed working with all my WyzAnt students and feel that I have been successful at helping them learn Latin and Greek. Not a small matter, also, is their helpful and dependable payroll system, now made even better with their daily payment schedule.
I have had a very positive experience working with WyzAnt. First, the company markets the program on the web on every conceivable educational and employment web site. This increases the opportunity to attract new students. In addition, they send a daily bulletin out to me listing new potential students and their needs from my area who are looking for tutors. They have a very efficient system allowing you to contact new potential students every day, thus helping to add new students to my "tutoring business". I have found that almost every step is covered in terms of communicating with parents, establishing a fee, and all the other steps in between. This makes it so my main focus is meeting with students and setting appointments for tutoring. They already know my field and my history from the tools WyzAnt has given me. My experiences as a tutor have been wonderful. It has been a number of years since I left teaching to work in the non-profit area. After tutoring, I feel like I never left. I have enjoyed the one on ones and the chance to help. Really, my only concentration is on the lesson and children as WyzAnt has set everything up for me. Right now I have two terrific students with a supportive family that cares enough to hire someone to help their children. The freedom to construct my own lesson is similar to the academic freedom I had as a classroom teacher. This enables me to be as productive and innovative as I can. I thoroughly am enjoying this program and recommend WyzAnt to anyone interested in education!
Since I signed up with WyzAnt, I have received quite a few tutoring inquiries. I am currently still working with one of these students, which is an excellent experience indeed! It has definitely been a very positive experience and I'm so happy that I am one of the WyzAnt tutors! This company is of high quality and very professional.
I Love Working With WyzAnt
Tutoring with WyzAnt is an amazing way to reach students I would not otherwise know about. It has been an important and rewarding addition to my work life (and income). I have a wonderful group of motivated students who value learning and parents who reinforce good study habits and academic achievement. In many ways, it's the easiest teaching job I've ever had, and there are very few downsides. Students are friendly, parents are easy to work with, and even the driving I do has benefits because I get to see farms and countryside I did not even know were in my county! Watching spring arrive has been a beautiful bonus to driving from student to student!
I have found so many students
Since starting with WyzAnt, I have found four students to tutor. I am so busy now, it's great. All of the students I have met are very nice and their families are concerned about their students' academic achievement. The website is very easy to navigate and I love the pay schedule. I am very happy with WyzAnt.
Keep up the good work.
You're doing great. Keep up the good work. I appreciate the fact that you make the conditions for getting a job really easy especially as there is the possibility of getting a job not very far from home.
My experience with Wyzant has been very positive. This has been the only venue through which I have been able to find students to tutor. Also, Wyzant's customer service has been outstanding. Any technical problem that I have had was immediately addressed and remedied. If you love to teach and help others succeed, then I highly recommend becoming a Wyzant Tutor.
Simple and Slick
Just recently I had my first tutoring job and I must admit that I was skeptical of the whole system when I first heard about it through another tutor in the system. Once I did the sessions and submitted the lessons, I was surprised to find that the structure of billing and finding lessons was so easy! I really love the flexibility and simplicity that WyzAnt offers without compromising the validity of the tutor! The structure is so simple anyone can do it and the layout is so professional that it gives each tutor an edge!
WyzAnt is an excellent resource for both the student and the tutor! An easy to use format allows students to find a local tutor and contact them for help in a particular subject. The most useful tool I have found, so far, is the email notification. If a student sends an email to you, the WyzAnt team sends your personal email account a notice. I don't have to check my email on WyzAnt daily! I have too many email accounts to keep track of. Thank you WyzAnt!
WyzAnt provides screened tutors to families that need tutoring. Clients can get the information about tutors right there, all in one place.
I like WyzAnt because I can concentrate on tutoring and never have to worry about payment issues or collecting money. This is helpful because I can use the post-session time to discuss how the student is doing with the parents.
My WyzAnt Experience
I have always been interested in tutoring, but I put it off because it was difficult for me to discuss charges with a potential student. WyzAnt removes all the awkwardness about money and keeps records for me as well. Lesson histories, dates of services, submitted applications, payment records, and my WyzAnt rewards are all kept organized and readily available for me. Over time, I have discovered any problem I may encounter is quickly cleared up with a simple phone call because WyzAnt always gets back to me in a very timely manner and seems to have a solution for any situation.
At the beginning I was quite cautious - I had never worked with WyzAnt before although I have two dozen years of teaching and tutoring experience. WyzAnt has an amazingly well-organized and user-friendly website. Another good surprise was how fast and easy it was to receive the first payment. And finally, the best part: my student looks quite happy with her classes - thanks, WyzAnt!
First class all the way!
I've been tutoring on WyzAnt since 2014 and it's become a dream job. Without WyzAnt, I could've easily faced financial ruin during the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, I found myself working 12+hour days every day and I have finally achieved financial security. There are of course pros and cons to any job, but when you get to work for yourself and have no boss it's hard to complain. The support team has promptly fixed every single issue I've ever had and and they have been extraordinarily polite and professional.
I have been a tutor with WyzAnt for a few months now. I am enjoying regular inquiries and it's a great way of getting new students. It's a great agency, that is efficient at passing on inquiries and paying the tutors.
It's a lot of fun to share knowledge and skills that I have worked hard to gain. It's always a delight when my cell phone buzzes with a text message alerting me that there's a potential student in Champaign-Urbana.
My experience with WyzAnt has been very positive so far. WyzAnt is an excellent organization and they make it very simple for students to find tutors or vice-versa. The biggest problem with the experience so far has not been their fault; namely, that students will post an ad for help and never respond again. That is outside their control, of course, but other than that it has been a very positive experience.
Working with WyzAnt has been very easy. That is the best word to describe it. They are really on top of things. Everything is happening in the way it was explained. The students I've gotten have been great, reliable clients who are very easy to work with, and payment always occurs on time, and is very easy to maintain. Also, if there is any question, the reps at WyzAnt are very easy to reach and knowledgeable. Tutoring under this service has been a great experience.
