WyzAnt Tutoring Employer Reviews

Wyzant does all the things I do not like to do such as marketing and collections. This gives me time to do a little preperation and zero in on student's neds. The goal of any tutoring is to work yourself out of a job. Wyzant makes this easy.

I have been an active tutor with WyzAnt since August, 2012. They have been great! The site provides thorough guidance in developing an effective profile page, determining a competitive hourly rate, and making the most of one's tutoring sessions. I have the freedom to select the students with whom I want to work, the distance that I want to travel, and – more... the subjects that I prefer to teach. Best of all, I do not have to deal with money! The WyzAnt team arranges everything.

Giving up 40% was a bitter pill to swallow in the beginning, but that first 20 hours flew by. I just recently went over the 50 hour mark and now I keep 70% of my rate. I think the service they provide is worth it. I go to the site 2-3 times per day to check mail and to view client tutoring requests. I love my students and I always try to give excellent service. If they live too far away, I suggest meeting halfway at a library or other quiet, but public venue. I have had terrific results with that approach.

If you are considering becoming a private tutor, I highly recommend checking out WyzAnt. I have recommended the company to many of my friends, both locally and out of the area.

I couldn't be happier with WyzAnt! – less

I thoroughly enjoy working for WyzAnt Tutoring because it is a very professional company that has given me the opportunity to build and expand my reputation as an ESL Teacher in Central Florida. I am also able to supplement my income. I really like to set my own rate and arrange a flexible schedule with my students accordingly. I also enjoy creating – more... my own lessons based on whatever language skills my students need the most. WyzAnt is very punctual in their payments to me twice a month. WyzAnt does excellent Marketing. Customer Service is always friendly and extremely helpful. – less

This is a great chance to sharpen your skills set and reinforce materials previously learned. Best of all you set your own hours and come across dedicated students.

I like working with WyzAnt so far. The reason I signed up is to have the security of knowing that the financial piece is taken care of for me. My students are awesome, and it is fun to work one on one with them. The hardest part of the job is the travel, especially in an urban setting.

As I complete courses toward my masters degree in continuing education, I have decided to take on several small jobs as a Spanish/ESL tutor associated with various online companies. One of those companies is WyzAnt. This company lists my online profile, provides me a list of perspective jobs within a 40-mile radius of my home, processes payments, and – more... mediates any issues that arise. I do not like that WyzAnt takes such a high percentage of my pay for the services they provide. Nevertheless. this system has worked well for me for over five years, and WyzAnt has always been very professional and helpful with questions.

Every day, I search through WyzAnt's job listings for my area and apply for any Spanish/ESL teaching positions for which I feel I qualify. Students may also query my availability via my profile. All e-mails with clients are to be sent through WyzAnt, and contact information is not to be exchanged until WyzAnt receives client billing information and tutoring sessions have actually been arranged.

The hardest part of my job is that most lessons only last a few weeks. While I have enjoyed working with students of different skill levels and backgrounds, I would prefer to teach actual classrooms with more students at a time over longer time periods. I am hoping to be certified soon as a teacher, but in the interim, the experience I gain through WyzAnt continues to mold my teaching style for future classes. I have enjoyed the opportunities to use over 30 years of work experience to help others achieve Spanish/English language-related goals. – less

Great Tutoring company! Very responsible, very helpful staff.

If you have the skills to manage your work load and you can sell your skills; if you enjoy the freedom of being your own boss but you like the protection of a company, this is the job for you. Make your own schedule but share the benefits...so overall it is great as a first step in the business or to put yourself out there, but it won't probably fully – more... pay your bills. – less

I really enjoyed my experience of tutoring through WyzAnt. WyzAnt is a helpful, reliable and well organized company. They provided me plenty of opportunities to share my knowledge and abilities with different ages of people, from teenager to adults. Their service is excellent, I have benefit a lot from their quality guidance when I newly entered WyzAnt. – more... The most enjoyable part could be seeing my students learn and grow week after week. – less

Pros: the students are great
Cons: You're never an "independent contractor". Wyzant monitors your email, controls your meeting and pay and how you meet with clients. They also conduct security screenings as employers and if you refuse because you don't know who is asking for the screen, which is illegal, they drop you. They don't comply with state laws – more... and search way beyond what is legally permissible. My issue with this is I don't know how they store it or who's asking for it, as I provide my own extensive screening to parents directly. As a 3rd party provider they just can't do this. Way too "Big Brother" and they don't secure payments from people who have problems. Just not worth it. – less

Wyzant Tutoring has a very large client base with numerous tutoring categories and jobs for tutors who wish to teach a variety of subjects to students of all ages. Support for tutors by Wyzant is excellent.

This company provides a GREAT forum to connect students and tutors.

Working for Wyzant has been a perfect arrangement for me. I establish my own hours and I am provided with contacts in an area for which there is much demand, math. While it is true that Wyzant takes a cut, I don't have to worry about bad checks or people promising to pay "next time" and I never hear from them again because Wyzant takes care of the financial – more... issues. Any problems I have had, the staff has addressed immediately. If there is a downside, it is that there is no guarantee of employment from one week to the next, though I usually tutor 15 to 20 hours per week on average. – less
