WyzAnt – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

I am really surprised at Wyzant’s low ratings here on Trust Pilot, and I do wonder if competitors are manipulating the ratings by submitting negative reviews (to drive potential clients away from Wyzant & toward their own platforms). As a tutor, I love it. I set my own rates, and I decide who I work with. I can end relationships with students who are rude, flaky, or just not benefitting from tutoring, and I can develop relationships with students who are consistent and who really want to learn. From the student’s end: it seems to me that the students I’ve worked with have had great experiences with Wyzant (with me & other tutors). Tips to avoid the problems others are citing: 1) Make sure the tutor you message has a background check so that you can be assured they are who they claim to be. 2) Ask for a free meet & greet prior to booking a session so that you can ask probing questions. I always offer to chat via a video call prior to scheduling, so that students & parents know who/what they are paying for. 3) Ask the tutor what they do if they realize they can’t help a student with the student’s questions. The tutor should answer that they won’t charge you if they don’t know the material. This happens sometimes. No matter how good the tutor is. 4) Send the material you want to cover in advance to ensure the tutor can look it over and prepare. 5) This applies only to the poorly behaved minority of parents/students. Understand that tutors are self-employed and treat them with respect. Show up to appointments, send a message if you’re running late, and remember that we are under no obligation to keep tutoring you if you are unpleasant. 6) Regarding the issue of charges for sessions that never occurred: I would be shocked if this was true. I’ve never had a student complain of a charge for a session that was never completed - not a charge from me or any other tutor they’ve worked with. You can always dispute the transaction with your bank and remove your payment information from Wyzant at literally any time. In conclusion, as a tutor, I’ve had a great experience with Wyzant, and I’ve yet to meet a student or parent that was displeased with Wyzant. Those who are displeased were probably dropped by tutors due to the reasons I listed above (rude, unpleasant, etc).

Nice platform with online tools where you can find tutors on almost any subject. First lesson is free if you don't find the right fit. Well qualified teachers are available at affordable rates. I would have given a 5 stars if their service fees were not that high. They charge service fees from both tutors and students.

My son’s teacher is very knowledgeable and knows exactly how to get the student engaged. Her teaching method is great and she is always asked for feedback and she provides lot of resources to explore before class. She’s a wonderful tutor. I‘m glad to find her.

The tutors at Wyzant are wonderful. I enjoy each and every class that I take, I'd like to thank my tutor for being so exceptional. There is one problem with the system though; whenever we reach around the end of the class, (evening time) the meeting becomes very unstable and glitchy. I would not say that this is a four star platform because of its talented tutors, but if I could, I would rate this 4.6 stars.

Sina is a good tutor and I am glad I found him through wyzant for tutoring.
