The thread that connects students to tutors and vice versa!
WyzAnt is King of all online tutoring networks! Not only can I advertise myself and my services as a tutor to a broad range of students, but students can do the same themselves to tutors all over the country via the valuable method of two-way communication-marketing both parties can take advantage of when trying to attract business. When a student (or their parent/guardian) is ready to reach out and touch the hand of the perfect tutor, the student can do so by advertising a gig on the network with a detailed description of what/who they are looking for in a tutor. Gigs of sorts are viewable for tutors "qualified to teach a certain subject" (you have to either A) pass a test to verify your core knowledge in a given academic field of interest and expertise; or B) submit your qualifications to tutor a specific subject via the business assets of your own professional background as an educator), and if interested, the tutor can "Apply for the job" by clicking the gig's link to learn more about the job's offerings, submit a cover letter introducing themselves to the student electronically via email, and then wait for a response from the student. This feature is extremely handy because it allows the tutor to make the first move when negotiating a business contact! As usual, a student can reach out to a tutor directly on the network via a personal email, stating their own business proposition, and inquiring about the tutor's interest in- and availability for carrying out the job at hand. Finally, perhaps the greatest means of communicative connectivity appears in the form of online lesson submissions on the tutor's part. Before money can be earned (deducted directly from student's previously-submitted credit card payment information upon hiring a tutor from the network), a tutor must provide a fairly detailed written description of the lesson carried out with their student(s) following the actual tutoring session. This is excellent for record-keeping on behalf of both the student and tutor! The tutor can keep track of what they have done with the student up to a point, and the student/parent-guardian can make note of how much progress their child has made over a given period of time! If all goes well, you will find yourself attracting multitudes of students, enough to possibly make tutoring your full-time academic profession for years to come! And in the event that you do a tip-top job as an instructor, your students will provide testimonials of your excellent service on your profile for all current and future students to read when selecting a tutor of their own. Thanks to the wisdom of WyzAnt, students can improve their academic performance, and tutors can expand their professional horizons!
WyzAnt is set up wisely to serve both sides of the transaction
After working with and for WyzAnt for only a few months I am convinced that this is the easiest, most transparent and most helpful tutoring service for both the tutors and the students. The site is super easy to work, heads-up come in my email about potential students, emailing through the site protects the privacy of both ends of the connection, and direct deposit with notice is fabulous. I have recommended WyzAnt to several possible tutors and will continue to do so. This is good part-time work for me that I can totally control. Big thanks to those in charge. Great idea!!
Great service
WyzAnt quickly sends me emails about new tutoring opportunities for tutoring Chemistry in my area. Without WyzAnt, I would not be able to effectively know about these opportunities. I have found WyzAnt to be excellent in their service and the website is very easy to navigate. The WyzAnt team is a great opportunity for me.
My experience has been very positive. I have had the opportunity to use my varied skills in a variety of subjects. I've met a lot of nice students and parents and enjoyed myself along the way.
I have been working with WyzAnt for a while and I have found that they take good care of the students as well as of the tutors. WyzAnt policies are clear and understandable and they make the process of finding students, payment and communication very clear. Finding students using its website is a wonderful way to connect with prospect students in the community.
Great service
I have been working with WyzAnt for almost a year. I moved back to Conneticut from Spain, after being with my family for 5 years, so I did not know anybody in Connecticut. Thanks to WyzAnt finding new students was so easy. I am very thankful to WyzAnt. Every time I had a problem or a question WyzAnt was very professional helping me and answering all my questions. Congratulations for the hard work!
Excellent Service
WyzAnt is the most professional tutoring agency/website I have come across in a long time. The website speaks highly of the professional manner in which tutor search is conducted. I have been a tutor for close to 1 year and i have greatly enjoyed every aspect of it. The customer service people are professional, polite, friendly and very helpful and always cater toward your needs very promptly. This is indeed a great tutoring website. I encourage students from all over the United States of America to avail this great tutoring service.
Great for Tutors!
I have had a wonderful experience with Wyzant. The tutoring process has been so simple and enjoyable. Getting connected with students and working with them is much less stressful through such an organized company. Wyzant is always prompt when answering any questions. My students and parents of my students have also had pleasant experiences with Wyzant. I didn't expect to become a full-time tutor so quickly!
I submitted my application to become a tutor on Saturday 9/25/2010. My account was activated by 9/28/2010 Tuesday afternoon which was extremely fast. I certified for my subjects by taking the tests which were very fair. I started checking for tutoring jobs and found some immediately. Some other tutoring companies that I have used don't get as many leads as WyzAnt. This proves to me that they are doing a great job with marketing and their tutors are happy. Another great benefit is that they will pay you by direct deposit, even every day if you choose that option! Most tutoring companies do not offer direct deposit. The website is very easy to understand and I have been getting emails from WyzAnt about new opportunities. I highly recommend WyzAnt for anyone that is looking for tutoring opportunities.
Fulfilling hobby through an Effective Platform
I am a recently retired business executive. I primarily teach Math and Physics. After having tutored for less than a year, I have a significant number of parents and students who have put me on their contact speed-dial list. The smile I get when a student regains confidence, and the positive feedback I receive from their parents, make this hobby of mine extremely fun and fulfilling. I also feel that the Wyzant platform and protocol are very effective for tutors as well as for students/parents. Thank you Wyzant.
Simple way to build a client base
I have really enjoyed using WyzAnt. It has been easy to use and easy to get clients. I like that I've been able to make this work with my schedule and it takes the worry out of keeping financial records and how to arrange payment. The feedback option is great. I was flattered to see what my clients wrote about me and it definitely improves my reputation as a tutor to have positive feedback on my page. I've only been a tutor with WyzAnt for a few months, but so far, so good.
WyzAnt's Well-Integrated Website
So far, WyzAnt has been great to work with. The website is set up to facilitate interaction between both student and tutor. Simple search to locate students. The benefit of certification shows WyzAnt has a commitment to quality. WyzAnt has been responsive any time there is a question or concern. There are good marketing options for tutors and the website thus far has been easy to use and reliable. The ability to locate a student or tutor without cumbersome delays helps reach goals. Glad to have found WyzAnt!
WyzAnt Tutoring
WyzAnt is very prompt and efficient at matching tutors with students. I like the freedom of being able to select clients in place of being assigned them from a regional representative. It gives the job a lot more of an independent feeling, and there is a lot of satisfaction in that. Over my past couple of months with WyzAnt, I have absolutely no complaints and only positive things to say about the company. It is great and I look forward to being in an continual business partnership with WyzAnt.
I was looking for a part-time job and found the WyzAnt website via a Google Search. When I saw the request for help from a mother of a high school senior needing a tutor to help her child pass Algebra 2 to graduate from high school, as a Chemical Engineer and tutor for Algebra 2, I quickly signed up and passed the certification exam to provide help. It is a pure joy and satisfaction to have a part-time job where you can use your knowledge, experience and education to help others. Thank you very much WyzAnt for the opportunity! The WyzAnt website is very well designed, easy to use and provides an excellent method to work as an independent contractor.
Excellent site to navigate around! The team is great with answering questions quickly and effectively. The site is very visible if parents are searching online for a tutor. I also discovered business cards and fliers that are available for tutors. This is great to have on hand when tutoring. There have been many times when talking with parents and they mention they have a friend who has a child that needs tutoring. It is so easy to just pull out a business card and give them to the parent. I usually leave a few extra just in case. I have had a great experience and will continue to use WyzAnt as a vehicle for adding additional students. It is such a powerful online tool for tutors and parents seeking a tutor! I highly recommend this agency!
WyzAnt has been my way of helping students who are struggling. I find it fulfilling to see my students succeed on a test that they take or show progress in a lesson. It works out for the parents in that they are happy with the results, the student by building self esteem, and the tutor to see how much their work is helping. The website is user friendly, leaves all the money handling to someone else and tracks all the lessons that you have done. I highly recommend joining WyzAnt to be a tutor or to find a tutor.
