Wyzant reviews by tutors
Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
My experience with WyzAnt is very positive. The students that I have worked with are a mixed group, of course. Most students can get back into focus and others need more time to become better students again. It is usually a student that gets overwhelmed with school and needs to get a restart that needs some tutoring. After a restart most students get serious and then no longer need a lot of help. This increase in activity directed at school and school problems causes a wonderful new beginning and a much better student.
Wyzant has been a great help in increasing my number of students. The system works very well and is painless. Between finding students through Wyzant on our own by searching for local potential clients who are looking for tutoring services such as those we can provide, and through being directly contacted by those parents who find our profiles and think we'd be a good fit, Wyzant allows us two great avenues for adding to our student roster. Also, we do not need to deal with the financial end of things, as Wyzant takes care of all payment issues. The tests we take to qualify to tutor specific subjects are well-grounded, and fun for those of us who actually enjoy taking tests. Plus the fact we can work with Wyzant along with whatever other jobs and/or tutoring we have, and we can set our own schedules regarding availability and how far we are willing to drive, makes this a perfect situation for anyone who enjoys working one-on-one with students and essentially wants to be his or her own 'boss'.
Excellent Resource!
I joined WyzAnt during mid-2014. On the tutor side of things, the dashboard and tools at disposal for tutors is about as much as a tutor can ask for. Recent changes have also made the digital side of things more seamless. For students, the service itself can be a wonderful base or resource with which they can find tutors they like meeting with and augment their own study plans with outside help or reference. All in all, I find that my students are extremely satisfied, largely in part, due to the fluidity of the process as well as access to sincere, honest reviews and ratings. This kind of transparency tends to lead inevitably to high quality tutors actually finding the right fit. The flexibility of meeting in person or online helps make improvement a work in progress, rather than an all-or-nothing gamble. School itself is based on consistent improvement, so being able to identify the right tutor and carry out a simple plan of action with all the little things taken care of is the most powerful part of the WyzAnt service. I would recommend using WyzAnt to anyone looking to move in the right direction academically!
Bookkeeping is easy
The best part about being involved with Wyzant is that all I have to do is enter my hours after I tutor and Wyzant does the collection and sends me payment. One of the worst things about tutoring is collecting for lessons. A tutor has his or her head on creatively presenting the material. It is an entirely different part of the brain, apparently, that focuses on charging for a lesson and collecting money. I don't want to negotiate a fee, keep track of amounts owed, play the tough guy, or accept payment. Wyzant allows me to stay fully in the role of helpful teacher. Thanks.
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!
