Wyzant reviews by tutors
Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
I really like using your business. There are couple of reasons why. First of all, I like how your website handles the money. Second, I like the way you protect my future students and I from not revealing too much information. When I used to use my personal email to exchange information with my students, it was a hassle! They wanted to have personal information from me, and I was not comfortable with meeting anybody online. Wyzant helped me to solve all the problems, I really do not have to worry about anything, but what to teach. I am glad I found your business so that I can just concentrate on teaching and not marketing and finance! Thank you so much for your help.
WyzAnt – the wise way of tutoring.
WyzAnt proved itself to be the best tutoring website in the country! I am from Europe and have a pretty wide perspective on tutoring markets. I have had profiles at other tutoring sites, but none of them has worked as well as WyzAnt. That’s why I love working with them and feel comfortable recommending them to (literally) everybody who is willing to listen! I have sent many invitations to people interested in tutoring and to my outside students because I fully believe in what I am recommending! I feel proud to be a tutor at WyzAnt. They give me the great opportunity to dedicate my time to the profession I love. The site is user friendly; It provides a huge tutor/student market; Organizes payments in a very reliable manner. And one thing that often could be a deal breaker with any other sites, no matter in what business: WyzAnt representatives always answer the phone! Users can always rely on human connection and it helps both tutors and students tremendously! These are my main reasons why WyzAnt has deserved my trust from the very beginning.
I am very impressed with the professionalism that WyzAnt provides to not only their tutors, but also to their students. WyzAnt offers a first class tutoring service that is recognized in our community.
I was apprehensive the first time I went to tutor for a WyzAnt student. Would it be a good experience? Would the student want to learn? Would the parents be clear with their expectations? It was a GREAT experience. Through email and phone calls everything was set up before I went for the first session. I have had a lot of fun watching my student improve her reading and phonics skills. When parents and students contact WyzAnt, they want the student to learn. The students are not looking for the easy way out. They actively participate in the learning process. This has been an easy and effective way to find students to help. I am trying to get the word out for parents/students to contact WyzAnt since there are many excellent tutors listed on the site. I would also like for other tutors to realize this company is easy to work with and have taken the money detail out of tutoring. You just show up and tutor. WyzAnt makes sure the clients have paid, and therefore you will get paid. Thanks WyzAnt for a good experience and I hope to work with more students found through WyzAnt.
I have greatly enjoyed my experience and learned while tutoring with WyzAnt. The students have been tremendous and my range of subjects has increased over time, thus improving my marketability. Some of the students have been located very close to my house (< four miles) improving my daily productivity. The customer service/technical service people at WyzAnt do a tremendous job of addressing specific issues in a timely fashion. The flexibility of the system has been very helpful.
Very happy with this service
I have tried other tutoring companies before, as well as, have used a tutoring company in the past once to prepare for a final exam. After using a tutor myself and paying for two hours of absolutely no help at all, I always make sure that my clients will never feel that way. This company is the most user friendly tutoring service I have found yet. I am surprised how many students I was able to find, and how many actually contacted me. Great work!
Great service
Working with WyzAnt has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. I tried making it on my own as a tutor for a while, but was never able to build up a stable clientele. WyzAnt takes care of all the behind the scenes work, allowing me to focus on what I do best. They really earn their keep. I just recently passed the 400+ hour mark with them and couldn't be happier. Whenever I have had issues or questions, they have always been quick to respond and quick to resolve them to my satisfaction. Their staff is friendly and helpful, and I know the students I work with are really happy with the service as well. Thanks guys!
I can't even begin to describe how elated I am to be a part of the Wyzant Community. To be honest with you, I simply stumbled onto the website one day, and I thought, "Hey, I'm a good teacher and I just want to help others." Wyzant provides the perfect vehicle for exactly that. I've wanted to be a tutor for a long time, but I didn't know how to get involved. Wyzant is perfect for those who want to help others without having to do the legwork to find students. The process was simple, just fill out the information that you should know by heart anyways. Within a few days you're set to go. The certifiable tests are great as well, they test your overall knowledge of the subject without requiring you to be perfect. I'm so happy with this website that I've told all my friends and family about it. I highly recommend you join this site if you love to help people and make money in the process. Wyzant takes all the politics, potential conflicts, and work out of the way, so that you as the tutor can just concentrate on teaching your students. It doesn't get any easier than this! I wish I knew about Wyzant when I was in school. Thank You Wyzant for this amazing opportunity. Regards, Deepak K
I believe that WyzAnt does a terrific job of connecting people that need tutoring with the appropriate tutors. The tutors' self-descriptions create a level of comfort for the student or student's family. This is essential in this day and age. I have taught corporate level classes in creating a harassment-free work environment and I know that people need to be cautious about who they allow into their homes, around their children, and around themselves. I have gotten the most wonderful students, and am thankful for the opportunity to help them become the star students they were born to be!
WyzAnt is great for so many reasons! One is because students can email me directly any lesson question(s). They also send me helpful emails when a Spanish or French tutor is needed. I also like not having to deal with checks or credit cards. Direct deposit is so easy and WyzAnt enables me to concentrate just on the teaching part, not the when and how I'll get paid part. They are also supportive (I learned this last year when a student decided to cancel an hour before a lesson, so they value my time). Lastly, I've been able to teach and really help more than 5 great students in my neighborhood this past year, thanks to WyzAnt. I highly recommend WyzAnt to any current teacher who wants to tutor with a supportive organization, and get paid at a rate per hour that is appropriate. With a MA degree in learning styles, I felt underpaid from other tutoring companies before I found WyzAnt. I love how WyzAnt allows the tutor to decide the hourly rate.
Finding Students
This has, for the most part, been a positive experience. I like working for this company. Listing are prompt and useful. Sometimes a little disappointing finding more students. But all in all a great company to work for. Looking forward to working here for quite a while.
Great Service
Wyzant works great because the scheduling is set by me. However, initially the pay percent is very low unless we set a high price for tutoring in which case the number of students approacing us is minimized.
All potential so far
I have only been aboard about a week and have only found potential jobs. I've emailed close to ten opportunities, 3 have replied and of those, one seems interested when the semester begins in September. In the last half of August, there are virtually no current classes in session, so I can't expect as much. I'm anxious to see how things pick up once school is back in session. I'm very comfortable with the layout and functioning of the site. I can easily find opportunities and respond to them.
It was very easy to sign up as a new tutor. My Profile page is very attractive. The Marketing Materials that you offer are excellent. It was less than a week before I received my first client. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BEING A WYZANT TUTOR!
Great Opportunities to render Service
I have had the opportunity to utilize my skills as a means providing a needed service, with the overall intent of giving back to others, because knowledge gained is something that one will take with himself or herself, and no one can take it away. WyzAnt has provided me with an excellent platform, with modern day technology, to do this and I encourage others to utilize WyzAnt's features with the ultimate intent providing a real service by enhancing our society.
WyzAnt has live people to talk to, should you call in about an issue! That's been very helpful to me as a fairly new tutor, when I had a few topics in dealing with students that seemed to fall outside the the FAQ set of answers, or frankly I thought the topic wouldn't be covered and so I didn't look there. The several reps answering the phone are very easy to talk to, easily understand the issues I've raised, and come up with practical solutions.
Absolutely Enriching
I like helping others to learn and develop. In the process I learn and grow myself. We all teach each other. So, WyzAnt has given me an enriching opportunity to reach out to others in a field that I love. As a result, I have found that I can see and find new perspectives in teaching and an insight on how I project to others. I have stretched my capacities and I have helped others to stretch their capacities. That is an absolutely cool enriching experience that I wouldn't trade. Thank you WyzAnt for the great educational experience.
My tutoring experience with Wyzant has been seamless and better organized than I could have accomplish without the organization's help. Despite having run a language school myself for nearly 5 years, I have found that working freelance has many pitfalls including enforcing cancellation policies, keeping track of billing, and payment information for taxes at end of year. Working with Wyzant allows me to accept credit cards, basically, and be assured that payment will be forthcoming on a regular schedule. In addition, the communication between student and tutor is greatly enhanced by the online session reports which also help me to keep track of what my student and I have done together. Finally, the staff at Wyzant is intelligent, helpful and responsive. I have recommended other teachers to Wyzant with the knowledge that their experience will undoubtedly be as consistently good quality as my own has been. Many thanks!
The website is good
The website is easy to use. The payments are made in a timely fashion. The two tutoring jobs I've had so far have been quality clients and we have worked well together. I think the payment plans deter many potential tutoring jobs.
Excellent for Tutors and Students
I started with WyzAnt 13 months ago and they have provided me with many tutoring opportunities. Based on over 600 hours of tutoring through WyzAnt, I strongly recommend WyzAnt to anyone interested in tutoring and to anyone in need of a tutor. For tutors, they have excellent marketing and administrative skills. They handle all the billing and allow you to focus more on tutoring. For students, they certify tutors, provide student feedback on the tutors, display background information on tutors and courses, safely and reliably handle billing, etc. WyzAnt is an excellent alternative for both tutors and students.
How to Make Uploading Videos Easy For Your Tutors
You've done a good jobs mapping out most of the information tutors need. But when it comes to uploading videos the site needs to be improved. This is what you need to tell your tutors: -The video file formats accepted: (i.e. .AVI,.MPEG4,.WMV .FLV ) -The size it must be under: 100MB (BEFORE THEY LOAD THE VIDEO- not at the moment they load the video) - How to compress their videos if needed: Open and resave in Windows Live Movie Maker, use http://www.youconvertit.com , etc. Telling your tutors that the rules for YouTube apply is not helpful. Especially since YouTube accepts a larger file size than Wyzant.
Review of Wyzant
Wyzant has been an excellent resource to reach more students. I have been able to help students in both a short-term capacity, and on a longer term basis. The ease of using Wyzant to reach potential students is incredible. I get 4 or 5 inquiries a week.
More than Tutoring
WyzAnt has helped me continue my passion of Chinese-English bi-lingual teaching! It does not only bring me extra income and flexibility of my schedules, but also brings one of the most wonderful things to my life. That is the precious friendship with my students, as well as their parents.
