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 Two Years as a WyzAnt Tutor
I signed up to be a WyzAnt tutor in 2009 and have tutored 400+ hours since then. I have found the WyzAnt team in Chicago to be both professional and innovative. Half of the students that I tutor, mostly for high school math, physics, SAT and ACT come to me through WyzAnt. I do not hesitate to tell parents to submit their billing information so we can begin our lessons since WyzAnt is an honest and legitimate business. Even though I tutor most of my students in my home office, WyzAnt has never given me trouble for not tutoring them in their own homes (I give my students a choice). Several months ago I was contacted by WyzAnt's VP of Marketing who asked me not to include my personal email and Web site in my correspondence to my students. I understand why WyzAnt would request this I think it makes good business sense. This issue resolved quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend using WyzAnt to parents, students and tutors.
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
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!
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!
Great lead generation system
Since I joined WyzAnt over 2 months ago, the number of qualified leads increase every day. I really enjoyed tutoring my students and witness their improvement. One on one tutoring indeed pays off for students looking a way to really understand concepts, specially with subjects such as Math.
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.
