Wyzant reviews by tutors
Reviews of Wyzant by tutors in your community
WyzAnt is an excellent resource for both the student and the tutor! An easy to use format allows students to find a local tutor and contact them for help in a particular subject. The most useful tool I have found, so far, is the email notification. If a student sends an email to you, the WyzAnt team sends your personal email account a notice. I don't have to check my email on WyzAnt daily! I have too many email accounts to keep track of. Thank you WyzAnt!
Thanks
WyzAnt is the best part-time tutoring experience I have ever know of or dealt with as a tutor. As a full time teacher, I wanted some students who wanted tutoring, but I hated to sell my services. For one, the online sales was beyond my skills. I do not know how to drive customers to a site! Then, I am fearful of meeting people online. Finally, I am not successful as a bill collector. So, really needed the help of Wyzant. So far, I have met many learners who need help. I found that the Wyzant website is most beneficial to me as a tutor. I have a web presence, but I do have to worry about security. When I meet with my students, I do not have ask for money, which is something I don't do well. I enjoy this job so much. Every day a new possibility for tutoring occurs. I have about one student a week, but with my teaching job this is enough. I love the service and professionalism at Wyzant.
WyzAnt provides screened tutors to families that need tutoring. Clients can get the information about tutors right there, all in one place.
I like WyzAnt because I can concentrate on tutoring and never have to worry about payment issues or collecting money. This is helpful because I can use the post-session time to discuss how the student is doing with the parents.
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!
First class all the way!
I've been tutoring on WyzAnt since 2014 and it's become a dream job. Without WyzAnt, I could've easily faced financial ruin during the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, I found myself working 12+hour days every day and I have finally achieved financial security. There are of course pros and cons to any job, but when you get to work for yourself and have no boss it's hard to complain. The support team has promptly fixed every single issue I've ever had and and they have been extraordinarily polite and professional.
Whether you are a student or a tutor, WyzAnt is great for finding the tutor/student for you. If you are tutor, you are emailed as soon as someone asks for your subject. Since WyzAnt is prompt, students will find the right tutor quickly. WyzAnt takes care of collecting the fees from the student and paying the tutor.
It's a lot of fun to share knowledge and skills that I have worked hard to gain. It's always a delight when my cell phone buzzes with a text message alerting me that there's a potential student in Champaign-Urbana.
My experience with WyzAnt has been very positive so far. WyzAnt is an excellent organization and they make it very simple for students to find tutors or vice-versa. The biggest problem with the experience so far has not been their fault; namely, that students will post an ad for help and never respond again. That is outside their control, of course, but other than that it has been a very positive experience.
Wyzant Does the Work and I Concentrate on my Students
When I found the students on my own I had to worry about so many things. Now I follow their formula and have so much time to devote to preparing for and working with my students. I have gone from one student to five in only one month and enjoy the variety and challenge of each of them. The feelings of satisfaction knowing I helped them to achieve their educational goals is enormous, isn't that why we teach? "Thanks Wyzant!"
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'.
I am very pleased with how WyzAnt finds students for me. They do all the work. All I have to do is teach, which I know best. I like the layout (easy instructions). I highly recommend this WyzAnt for people that need a little extra cash and enjoy one on one tutoring.
Excellent site!
This site is easy to use, very concise and I trust will bring students to me. The tests do check proficiency in subjects and I hope to be adding more subjects to those that I will be tutoring in the very near future. Thanks!
Fantastic Facilitators
As a new tutor for WyzAnt I enjoy that I did not have to run around chasing students as well as being concerned over payments. The background check also makes the families where I go, feel at ease in regards to who is assisting their child. I LOVE IT!
