Easy To Use - No Billing Hassles
One of my favorite features of using WyzAnt is the fact that they take caring of all the billing. I no longer have to worry about preparing invoices, collecting pass due amounts or making adjustments to accounts. WyzAnt takes care of it all and all I have to do is just enter the time and date of the tutor sessions. I have more time to focus on my student lessons plans. Customer service has been great. Representatives have been polite and helpful.
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.
WyzAnt has given me a unique opportunity to work closely with students in mathematics and science who have either not been successful in these subjects in the past or are interested in developing deeper understandings. I am impressed with the quality of the clients and have been extremely pleased by their response to the tutoring. WyzAnt is a great place for me to continue refining the practice of teaching outside of the classroom. I have really come to appreciate the importance of interactions in learning and have been fortunate to watch children grow academically as well as in their confidence and ability.
I am really enjoying my experience as a tutor for WyzAnt. They have a very easy-to-navigate website, and a straight-forward payment system (for both tutors and clients). Any time that I have needed to contact the company (which has not been much!), I have gotten a REAL response email, not one of those automated impersonal unhelpful responses. My students appreciate the flexibility of my schedule, and that the tutoring can happen right in their own home where they are most comfortable.
Easy to Use!
I love how the entire process is so easy. From signing up, to finding students, even to receiving payment of services. I'm now receiving so many student inquiries that I have to lengthen my work day to have time for everybody. What a great problem to have! Thanks, WyzAnt.
Positive Experience
I have been with Wyzant for a few weeks, and it has been a very positive experience. Getting my first students took about three weeks, but I found with determination and continued responses to e-mails I was able to pick up four students in one week. The fourth student declined after the first session because he was unwilling to do the work required to get the wanted grade. This was much to the consternation of the parents; but you can't force someone to learn. Since then I have picked up one more student, which is about all I can handle right now. I have seen the students, and especially parents, really appreciate the effort to help their children improve and once a student/teacher rapport is developed it turns out to be a lot of fun for both parties. The important things are be flexible in your teaching style, be adaptable to the students/parents desires and KNOW YOUR SUBJECTS. Few things will turn off a student faster than trying to talk around a topic the tutor is not thoroughly familiar with. The only recommendation I would have is to make the subject tests longer with more questions from a master question file and put a time limit on the test. This would allow tutors to retake tests later without seeing the same questions again and ensure more thorough topic mastery.
My experience with you has been awesome. The format is totally worry-free. I don't have to worry about handling money with clients. I love the fact that I can choose the areas and tutor in public libraries. I am truly glad I happened upon your web-site when I did.
Simply put, I LOVE WyzAnt! While I have only been a tutor for a couple of months since signing in December 2009, I have already had the wonderful experience tutoring Art to eager, dedicated, and appreciative students with whom I am very proud to share knowledge. I truly feel that WyzAnt is the finest Tutoring Service available anywhere. It is certainly the most professional especially when it comes to how the company treats its students, as well as its instructors. I fully recommend WyzAnt to everyone I know and meet who is interested in learning and honing their skills not just in my discipline but in any other endeavor. Thank you WyzAnt for this great opportunity!
