Increased Demand Due to Wide Network
The demand for my tutorial services has never been as good as this! Wyzant's access to a wide network connects me, the tutor, to job prospects within the Wyzant website, thus keeping demand for my services at an all time HIGH! Clients are generally honorable and respect terms at the get go. As a tutor, I keep to the one-hour session limit in order to reach objectives efficiently and quickly.
My experience with WyzAnt is very positive. The students that I have worked with are a mixed group, of course. Most students can get back into focus and others need more time to become better students again. It is usually a student that gets overwhelmed with school and needs to get a restart that needs some tutoring. After a restart most students get serious and then no longer need a lot of help. This increase in activity directed at school and school problems causes a wonderful new beginning and a much better student.
Wyzant has been a great help in increasing my number of students. The system works very well and is painless. Between finding students through Wyzant on our own by searching for local potential clients who are looking for tutoring services such as those we can provide, and through being directly contacted by those parents who find our profiles and think we'd be a good fit, Wyzant allows us two great avenues for adding to our student roster. Also, we do not need to deal with the financial end of things, as Wyzant takes care of all payment issues. The tests we take to qualify to tutor specific subjects are well-grounded, and fun for those of us who actually enjoy taking tests. Plus the fact we can work with Wyzant along with whatever other jobs and/or tutoring we have, and we can set our own schedules regarding availability and how far we are willing to drive, makes this a perfect situation for anyone who enjoys working one-on-one with students and essentially wants to be his or her own 'boss'.
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 Overall Service
Although only registered with WyzAnt since June, 2011, I am thoroughly pleased with the overall excellence of the website (especially the automated "New Opportunities" e-mails based on one's subject areas & radius area parameters), customer service, and the option to "View New Jobs." The "View New Jobs" option is an extremely valuable feature, particularly for me since the other (2)tutoring/coaching businesses with whom I am registered do not have this feature. Even though my 1st student was a short-term contract, I made the connection (10) days after registering. For me, that was a quick & great turnaround! I look forward to a long-term & successful experience with WyzAnt. :o)
Of all the tutoring companies that I have worked with, WyzAnt has proven to be the most reliable in terms of student referrals and also the most rewarding as to the nature of those assignments. I have enjoyed working with all my WyzAnt students and feel that I have been successful at helping them learn Latin and Greek. Not a small matter, also, is their helpful and dependable payroll system, now made even better with their daily payment schedule.
Wyzant- As good as it gets!
I value Wyzant tremendously. They do all the marketing and advertising, enabling me to worry only about teaching. They also add a sense of legitimacy and safety for parents as they are a very reputable company. What i really appreciate this the the opportunity to teach as a result of working through Wyzant. I have found this not only a great chance to teach but work with wonderful families well. In my mind, I not only teach but in many cases mentor as well. It is very rewarding. Good tutors are really needed and Wyzant gives me a chance to really help those that need it. This is one of the most rewarding things I do professionally and have many success stories to prove it. My only request would be to find a way that parents can tutors call before having to register as I have lost a number of teaching opportunities because parents were wary of disseminating personal information first in order to call a tutor. I understand the reasons for the policy, but there must be a way to talk to potential customers before they are asked to register. It would help a great deal. Overall, I have rediscovered my teaching career through Wyzant and would recommend them to anyone. A totally positive experience!
Since I signed up with WyzAnt, I have received quite a few tutoring inquiries. I am currently still working with one of these students, which is an excellent experience indeed! It has definitely been a very positive experience and I'm so happy that I am one of the WyzAnt tutors! This company is of high quality and very professional.
I have found the WyzAnt website very easy to navigate! Being a beginning member, I appreciate the rapid response time from the WyzAnt team. Although this time of year is slow, I have not gained any students yet. However, through utilizing the various marketing ideas, I feel confident that I will soon gain students. Thank you WyzAnt! Keep up the good work!
