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!
