Rewarding experience every time!
Tutoring has brought new meaning to my life. There is nothing in the world nicer than watching your students' "light bulbs" turning on, when you explain a concept that appeared difficult or confusing that all of a sudden starts making sense. Students motivation rises when they think they get it or when they feel successful in any given subject. Tutoring has given me a new purpose and I recommend it to everyone that has the time to commit to help a student of any age.
No problems so far.
I have recently started tutoring through WyzAnt. This site has made it easier to attract new students rather than trying to on my own. There have been some students, however, that have found me through Craigslist postings, but this requires constant updating. Can WyzAnt consider allowing tutors to do separate charges for subjects and students once the student has enrolled for tutoring? For example, I may charge more for helping someone with basketball versus someone in math. I also may want to give one student a cheaper rate because of financial difficulties. I haven't had any parents complain about the billing process yet, which is good.
WyzAnt is a very professional tutoring service and is the most efficient in matching students' needs with tutors in their locality. As a tutor, I find the tracking of students, schedules, and hours worked is excellent. Communication between me and my students is also easy with special alerts to ensure receipt of messages in a timely manner. Excellent company to work with for everyone wins with their professional on-line tutoring system. Thank you, WyzAnt!
I joined Wyzant last October and so far, so good. Their policies are fair; the tutors' percentage is ahead of the industry; our support system is outstanding. While I have been tutoring for many years, this company shows a very effective way to meet and start teaching students with whom I would not otherwise come in contact. I've been recommending my teacher friends to join up and now with the new Wyzant Rewards System, it should be even more fun.
Unbelieveably User Friendly and Efficient Website
I must say I was a bit skeptical about signing up as a tutor with WyzAnt. I saw postings come through looking for tutors for quite a while before I decided to take the plunge. Compared to other on-line experiences, your website is quite easy to figure out. Submitting a lesson and getting paid is incredibly efficient--so much better than other schools for which I have worked. I really like the way emails are sent, letting me know of potential students in my area. Thanks WyzAnt!
Very well run company
I've been a WyzAnt tutor for about six months, and I find dealing with WyzAnt to be a pleasure. The quality of service that I have received from EVERY WyzAnt employee with whom I have had dealings has been first rate. The staff are knowledgeable, they communicate clearly, and they take responsibility for resolving issues and answering questions. The website is easy to use. Whoever is running the place knows what they are doing!
Trustworthy Reputable Resource for Advancing Learning
I find WyzAnt to offer a trustworthy reliable resource for connecting students with specific tutors. Maintain/improve upon this valuable service! I have found that clients get used to "how the system works" quickly. The apparent ease of "how the system works" allows tutors and students to focus on learning. Administration activities manage themselves to a large extent. I look forward to each tutoring session. I have respect for each student's curiosity.
I have found the WyzAnt website very easy to navigate! Being a beginning member, I appreciate the rapid response time from the WyzAnt team. Although this time of year is slow, I have not gained any students yet. However, through utilizing the various marketing ideas, I feel confident that I will soon gain students. Thank you WyzAnt! Keep up the good work!
Really Great Arrangement
I have been tutoring on WyzAnt for nearly a year and am now well over 100 hours into the experience. The website is simple and effective and indeed so much so that I have never actually had occasion to speak to anyone at WyzAnt! Everything works online pretty much perfectly. WyzAnt certainly will give you a stream of interested students (not all of whom ultimately will sign on with you for reasons you may never find out) but you certainly don't have to waste time seeking them out. And, as most tutors here note, WyzAnt deals promptly and accurately with all the payments so that you don't even have to discuss money with the students, much less chase them for payment. The service does feel a little expensive, particularly at the start until you get your percentage raised a bit, but really you get a lot of service for the money. Overall, I am very pleased to be a WyzAnt tutor and would certainly recommend WyzAnt to anyone wanting to get into the tutoring business or who is looking for a tutor.
Finally - A Rewarding Work Experience!
WyzAnt has been a really powerful influence in my life. It has allowed me to follow my passion for tutoring and the system is so easy to use. I think prospective students find it very professional and informative and the process has been very simple and has worked perfectly. WyzAnt's division of subjects makes it easy for both students and tutors to meet their objectives and the guided communication process protects everyone. The reports of statistics and helpful ideas have been great and the system is making me think about quitting the corporate world and doing this full time!
WyzAnt has been a great referral tool for my tutoring business. It is easy to find students and WyzAnt sends me an email and a text message every time that a potential student requests a tutor. Their pay is always accurate and on time and the technical team quickly responds to questions. I highly recommend tutoring through WyzAnt.
Fun First Lesson
I had a lot of fun with my first student. He is getting new skills very fast and wants to study more with me. I am so proud of him.
Wyzant is a great opportunity for college students to supplement their income. The website is very user friendly and simple for even the most inexperienced of tutors.
As a tutor, wyzant is great. It offers a quality website that consolidates the search for multiple subjects. So to my clients, it appears that I'm much bigger than I am. This gives me great visibility, and gives the customer more confidence since this is a 'company' instead of am individual. The billing is very convenient, and really shields both the customer and the tutor from billing concerns.
So far, my experience with WyzAnt has been quite pleasant and very beneficial, during the few short months I have been a WyzAnt tutor. The supply of prospects has been quite good. (I don't know how they promote the website, but so far it seems to be working quite effectively -- especially when compared to others on which I am listed.) Also, the percentage rate of return is quite reasonable (especially after the first 50 hours ;^), and generally better than most other similar services. The company's attitude has been quite good, so far, and the problems usually get fixed reasonably well and promptly. I also appreciate their sincere desire for feedback -- plus the fact that (unlike some others) they don't seem to be offended by complaints (or even nit-picking about exam questions). bam ("Professor BAM") P.S. Over the past few decades, I have dealt with at least ten different tutoring agencies (in addition to having worked for two major test-prep firms, and having my own private clients). I would consider WyzAnt to be one of the top two, if not the best of them all.
I have really enjoyed my time tutoring through WyzAnt over the past year and a half. I've had many opportunities to share my knowledge and abilities in various subject matters with all different ages of people, from kids to adults. It is so much fun to watch people learn and grow week after week or have a one-time session where they are determined to master something quickly. Plus you can't beat the safety and reliability that WyzAnt offers. It's comforting to know that you don't have to worry about not getting paid and there's a certain amount of security. I hope to have many more great students in my future!
I am very pleased with my experience with WyzAnt. I have found the website to be easy to navigate. I love being able to set my own rate and WyzAnt finds the students for me. I have met great families and will continue to tell people about this service.
