Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
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 would just like to summarize how the opportunity to tutor a student one on one can significantly make a difference not only in learning basic skills, but making a significant difference in the student's attitude toward learning. John (not real name) has had a difficult year. He has had some learning issues and requires more attention than can be given in a regular classroom. The attention goes beyond basic skills, but really centers on positive reinforcement, immediate success, encouragement, and establishing confidence. These are all things we talk about in education, but by tutoring for WyzAnt, I have seen how powerful it can be in a one to one setting. John told me he doesn't have a good outlook for the remainder of the year. His teachers have more or less conceded, at least in his mind, that this year will not be a success. I have found in most of our one on one sessions, we have talked more about and modeled learning from mistakes, building on success in small parts, and constantly reinforcing good effort. What I have seen happen is that John feels more confident about what he is doing and focuses less on what he can't do. The specific curriculum gives him a better chance of success and that success is leading to more success. Our high point came during our last session. John had a smile on his face as he was getting his spelling correct, answering questions, and not afraid when something was not correct. It was such a dramatic change in such a short time! It was simply the consistent opportunity to get one on one attention and focus on the positive. At the end of the last lesson, he said "This is really cool" and shook my hand. It's not that anyone really was "cool", just that this program can help people who really need it, not only with the subject matter but with building self-esteem and an interest in learning as well.
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.
Whether you are a student or a tutor, WyzAnt is great for finding the tutor/student for you. If you are tutor, you are emailed as soon as someone asks for your subject. Since WyzAnt is prompt, students will find the right tutor quickly. WyzAnt takes care of collecting the fees from the student and paying the tutor.
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.
Increased Demand Due to Wide Network
The demand for my tutorial services has never been as good as this! Wyzant's access to a wide network connects me, the tutor, to job prospects within the Wyzant website, thus keeping demand for my services at an all time HIGH! Clients are generally honorable and respect terms at the get go. As a tutor, I keep to the one-hour session limit in order to reach objectives efficiently and quickly.
