Wyzant reviews by tutors
Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
So far my experience with WyzAnt has been excellent! In the first week that I created a profile a student emailed me directly and we set up a total of 3 lessons. The WyzAnt customer service staff was extremely courteous and helpful when I asked a question about creating my profile. Posting a video has enabled me to show potential students who I am. I am also able to see how much my competitors are charging for similar subjects. Overall I am VERY satisfied with my experience with WyzAnt and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the months, and even years to come!
Wyzant is the private tutor's dream come true!
Wyzant delivers students directly to the tutors doorstep, allows the tutor to set his or her own rate and charges only a reasonable percentage for handling all administrative matters. After only six months working for Wyzant, my net percentage increased from 60% of my hourly rate to 75%. The support department is quick, knowledgeable and helpful and the service seems to be gaining in popularity in South Florida. I would highly recommend Wyzant to any person who is serious about offering private tutoring services.
Finding students is easy.
By requiring all teachers to certify themselves in the subjects with a short test and write a short personal statement, Wyzant provides a reliable interface for tutors to pitch & sell their expertise to students who are assured that they will get the best value for their money. In sum, Wyzant makes it easy for even first-time tutors to translate their talents & skills into cash while choosing their own hours/workload. Anyone can use it - highly recommended!
I have been working with WyzAnt for over a year now and it's been a very good experience! My profile is always available online so it's easy for the students to find me. I have had many students this past year and I have been very pleased with WyzAnt. The team is always available to answer my questions but at the same time I manage my account as I want. I really recommend WyzAnt for all new or experienced tutors!
This website has been long overdue. It allows parents and students to finally be able to have access to professional tutoring for their children easily and conveniently. I've been tutoring for over 12 years. I only wish this website had been around when I started.
Wyzant, in home tutoring, has really helped me branch out to more students in my area. This service is very convenient for finding students, retaining them, and helps document the progress of all of the students you tutor. I find that students/parents like the fact that Wyzant has screened and has quality tutors within their system. I have a passion for teaching and Wyzant has facilitated the process and made it much easier to find students. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions about my experience.
Very Pleased With Their Service
I like all the features that WyzAnt has to offer, especially the calendar. The calendar allows a tutor to schedule their students' lessons ahead of time and adjust the lessons as needed due to illness, vacation, etc. I also think that there should be WyzAnt learning centers that operate on WyzAnt's current principles for students to go to, as well .
I find WyzAnt to be a brilliant way for tutors to be matched up with potential clients and for clients to find qualified tutors. As a tutor, this eliminates the tedious process of looking for a steady source of clients. WyzAnt does all the work for you. All you have to do is create a profile and clients will contact you. It's a win-win situation for all sides.
I love it!
I really enjoy tutoring! It allows me to share my expertise with others, make a difference, and feel good about what I do everyday. The company makes it easy for me to focus on my students, which is where the focus should be!! Thanks, WyzAnt for your support. You'll be needing to add another ribbon, since I am coming up on another milestone.
Great Resource with all the extras
Excellent idea and presentation. Clear and concise material, easy navigation, website and excellent customer service and support. Very functional website to bring together the student and the tutor. An excellent source of resources for the student and teacher. Thank You for all your efforts WyzAnt. Hey, what a brilliant and wonderful idea!
I joined WyzAnt about a year ago. I have been impressed with how the web site was laid out. I loved how the home page gave clear and concise links to get everything I needed, and every page I viewed had the information that was spot on. The subject certification process really helped me gauge my level in a variety of subjects. The WyzAnt folks have always been very accommodating with answering my questions - I feel like I am a valued member of their team. I think my biggest joy has been that WyzAnt has helped me connect to many students in the Los Angeles metro area and help them and see how excited they get in our sessions. They are more confident in their subjects and the confidence shows in the results they are achieving in school and the tutoring sessions.
So far I have really enjoyed using WyzAnt! I think it's great that you have to pass quizzes to get certified in a topic. I'm looking forward to getting a tutoring job with WyzAnt!
I have had a very pleasant experience with WyzAnt. I found it very easy to create my own profile. I had to wait a while for my first student but it was worth it once I started tutoring. The payment process is very easy and working with WyzAnt is safe and secure. I would recommend this site to anybody who would like to teach or learn.
I am very satisfied with WyzAnt. This website is very easy to use and to understand. The process that the tutor must comply with is very self explanatory. I work with another website company, and I have to submit a lesson and a timesheet for each lesson that is very time consuming. I much prefer the way that this website has simplified the process. I am also very much so enjoying the students that I have worked with. I believe that having a picture with my profile for students to look at and read helps them to determine if working with me is a good fit. I am delighted to be working with WyzAnt, and I hope that as my tutoring with WyzAnt grows, the company will grow as well. Thank you for this opportunity.
Easy to Use
Great setup and system for students and tutors to be able to come together. It was easy to setup appointments and go out and do my job. I have had no problems on the job forefront. Thank you for a reliable source.
As a busy PhD student, I wanted to make extra money tutoring, but I didn't have the time to market myself. Through WyzAnt, potential students come looking for me. I have had more requests for tutoring than I can accommodate. Hence, I have the luxury of being able to select students that best fit my schedule and whose needs are closest to those areas that I teach -- thus ensuring that I am most able to help them. I also like that I don't have to discuss money with my clients, they see my rate up front and pay WyAant, which pays me, always in a timely manner. I think everyone is happy with this service.
My experience has been good with WyzAnt. I picked up a student after a few weeks and WyzAnt has been very good about communicating with me on my student. They immediately e-mailed me at my personal e-mail address when my student first showed an interest in using my services. They also provided timely info on submitting lesson plans and other procedures specific to WyzAnt. Overall, a good experience.
I started tutoring for Wyzant at the beginning of August 2008. It is a great way to network whether students/parents find you or wyzant contacting you if someone might need your services. Everyone is very professional and polite. The best thing is your student gets one-on-one attention that he or she might not be receiving in the classroom. I use examples from class, and then I invent new ideas to make things more interesting and relevant to life that I then use in my classroom. I only wish that more people, whether they are students or adults, would inquire more about French!
My experience with WyzAnt has been very good so far. I truly appreciate all of the emails that WyzAnt sends when there is a potential new student for me to tutor. Moreover, I like the layout of the website and find it to be very user friendly.
I have been teaching for WyzAnt since the summer of 2010. All my paychecks have been by direct deposit. The website is designed to see how each penny earned is distributed to the tutor. Customer service is prompt and the website also notifies me when a potential students needs one of my services. Thanks WyzAnt for helping me!
I am happy with WyzAnt because it connects me to prospective students in my area. It cuts out the talk about way of payment, making the relationship go smoother and assuring me it is safe.
WyzAnt has been great! It has allowed me to turn tutoring into a 20-30 hour a week full-time job. I love that the site is easy to use and provides all sorts of ways for me to not only find students, but organize them once I've started tutoring. The best part is that WyzAnt takes care of all of the money. You can charge clients for the exact amount of time that you work. When tutoring on my own, I always had problems with customers not having the right bills or having to round to the nearest hour or half hour. WyzAnt, on the other hand, does it all by credit card. They also make communicating with parents easy with the session feedback forms. Unlike working with a tutoring company, you make an appropriate percentage of what you charge your clients and have complete freedom to tutor the way that you want to, use the materials you want to, etc. If you are a great tutor, WyzAnt will give you the tools you need to make it into a successful business.
Student ratings and feedback create a professional history.
There's no other tutoring site like Wyzant's! Student ratings and feedback create a history that new students can trust. One of the many reasons so many students like finding their tutors on Wyzant.
I am very impressed with WyzAnt. I enjoy tutoring on a part-time basis in order to help those who might be having difficulty. WyzAnt makes it very easy to find potential students and assists in coordinating the entering of sessions and taking care of any payments needed. Excellent and professional organization. I have reviewed a number of potential tutoring sites and WyzAnt is, by far, the most organized and easy to use.
I just performed my first lesson, and I think that WyzAnt runs an excellent system. My student actually found me, and through the e-mail system we were able to set up a meeting. Things went quite well - and I hope this was just the first of many success stories to come!
WyzAnt - Top of the line organization, marketing, and technical support
When I first signed on to become a Wyzant tutor in November, 2010, I had absolutely no idea what would ensue at that point. All I knew is that I had a strong desire to increase my visibility to prospective tutoring clients in the widest possible fashion. What has transpired since April, 2011 has truly amazed me. In just a little over a year's time from that point I am currently closing in on 400 hours of logged in session time. I've always had a lot of drive and been detail-oriented, so to be able to partner with a national tutoring business that has an A++ website design in every sense of the imagination has been a godsend. The structure for supplying ALL different kinds of detailed information is in place and there is no limit as to what one can achieve with this. Technical and account status issues have been repeatedly resolved in a courteous and timely fashion, and ongoing website and program upgrades will only make reaching targeted audiences that much more effective. To borrow a line from the conclusion of my high school valedictory address, "To us there are no limits, our limit is the sky", describes the mindset that will continue to ring true with my WyzAnt experiences. Sincerely, Bruce H. Richardson, TX
I think WyzAnt is a very professional organization. They are very prompt in responding to us when a student has requested us as a tutor. Also they are very prompt in the procedure for payment. I have and would recommend this company to prospective students and tutors alike. I also like the fact that any tutor can respond to the prospective tutoring opportunities and we are not forced to accept any particular position. I am happy I found this outlet as a means of tutoring and helping students.
WyzAnt is such an efficient, streamlined system of teaming up the tutor with the student. The tutors are there, the jobs are there and each one can easily reach the other. I can see why this service is a national phenomenon!
Great way to connect with students
What is great about Wyzant is it allows educators to easily connect with students. It has been a positive experience using the website and it is simple for students to see what each instructor is about by seeing their bio. The filtering feature makes it easier to see what potential jobs might be out there within your teaching scope. A mobile app would be a great addition for me and instructors who use a lot of mobile apps as their communication. Overall, a great resource to get out there to connect and educate the eager mind.
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!
