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!
Though I've only been working through WyzAnt Tutoring since Oct. of 2009, I've found it to be very fun and an effective way to enhance my tutoring client base. WyzAnt completes underlying paperwork, and the footwork required to seek out new clients. This frees up more time for me to concentrate on my students and create lesson plans! Another advantage WyzAnt offers both client and tutor is that the credentials and strengths of the educator are identified, verified and researched in order to quickly and effectively streamline the process of finding just the right tutor for the student. Incredible savings on time and simplifying the overall process. I love working through WyzAnt. Thank you!
Best agency on the market
Wyzant is definitely the best agency offering tutoring services in this increasingly competitive market. As a professional private teacher/tutor, I have been working with Wyzant and several other agencies over many years now, and greatly appreciate its system. Wyzant has by far the best customer service, the most helpful and user-friendly technical approach, and the most convenient fee & ratings system, which is sure to attract the most competitive tutors (other agencies tend to set the fees for tutors, while Wyzant allows its tutors the freedom to set their own terms as real independent contractors). Even though I receive offers constantly from other agencies, I give priority only to Wyzant. Moreover, I've sometimes suggested my students to benefit from promotions I offer on Wyzant; and I refer only Wyzant to students who call me about subjects I don't teach, simply because the terms are superior on Wyzant. Students can pay by credit card, which is of great help to private tutors as this allows tutors to focus on teaching rather than accounting matters. I have also referred Wyzant to a couple of foreign friends skilled in languages and teaching who could therefore start their careers in the U.S.A. working as private tutors through Wyzant.
WyzAnt has been very helpful and satisfying thus far and I don't expect them to change unless it is for the best of the best. I receive email alerts when a new student signs up to be tutored on a subject relative to my offering(s). I especially admire how they are open to feedback. They answer my emails efficiently and effectively. I give WyzAnt five stars.
Great website makes finding students easy!
It took a bit of time and effort to build up my profile but once you are established your tutoring will flourish. The new format for applying for tutoring jobs is excellent. I always receive responses to questions via email promptly.
Finding tutoring jobs is so easy and rewarding!
I was very surprised to see how fast I was able to find prospective students through WyzAnt. WyzAnt not only helps teachers find tutoring jobs by providing a list of inquires, but they also email tutors directly with possible jobs that specifically fit their area of expertise. WyzAnt makes it so easy for everyone by pairing up students with certified tutors without the hassle of marketing on their own.
No problems so far.
I have recently started tutoring through WyzAnt. This site has made it easier to attract new students rather than trying to on my own. There have been some students, however, that have found me through Craigslist postings, but this requires constant updating. Can WyzAnt consider allowing tutors to do separate charges for subjects and students once the student has enrolled for tutoring? For example, I may charge more for helping someone with basketball versus someone in math. I also may want to give one student a cheaper rate because of financial difficulties. I haven't had any parents complain about the billing process yet, which is good.
