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!
Thanks
WyzAnt is the best part-time tutoring experience I have ever know of or dealt with as a tutor. As a full time teacher, I wanted some students who wanted tutoring, but I hated to sell my services. For one, the online sales was beyond my skills. I do not know how to drive customers to a site! Then, I am fearful of meeting people online. Finally, I am not successful as a bill collector. So, really needed the help of Wyzant. So far, I have met many learners who need help. I found that the Wyzant website is most beneficial to me as a tutor. I have a web presence, but I do have to worry about security. When I meet with my students, I do not have ask for money, which is something I don't do well. I enjoy this job so much. Every day a new possibility for tutoring occurs. I have about one student a week, but with my teaching job this is enough. I love the service and professionalism at 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.
WyzAnt - Top of the line organization, marketing, and technical support
When I first signed on to become a Wyzant tutor in November, 2010, I had absolutely no idea what would ensue at that point. All I knew is that I had a strong desire to increase my visibility to prospective tutoring clients in the widest possible fashion. What has transpired since April, 2011 has truly amazed me. In just a little over a year's time from that point I am currently closing in on 400 hours of logged in session time. I've always had a lot of drive and been detail-oriented, so to be able to partner with a national tutoring business that has an A++ website design in every sense of the imagination has been a godsend. The structure for supplying ALL different kinds of detailed information is in place and there is no limit as to what one can achieve with this. Technical and account status issues have been repeatedly resolved in a courteous and timely fashion, and ongoing website and program upgrades will only make reaching targeted audiences that much more effective. To borrow a line from the conclusion of my high school valedictory address, "To us there are no limits, our limit is the sky", describes the mindset that will continue to ring true with my WyzAnt experiences.

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.
Wyzant Does the Work and I Concentrate on my Students
When I found the students on my own I had to worry about so many things. Now I follow their formula and have so much time to devote to preparing for and working with my students. I have gone from one student to five in only one month and enjoy the variety and challenge of each of them. The feelings of satisfaction knowing I helped them to achieve their educational goals is enormous, isn't that why we teach? "Thanks Wyzant!"
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.
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.
