Mark C. Is the best coach for AutoCad around, he was patient and informative of anything I asked regarding to CAD/ AutoCad. In my opinion he is the goto man for tutoring. Hats off to MARK C.! He helped me with every layer question and tool, Mark told me so much that I I will always be so thankful to him. Thank You Mark C. In the beginning I also i had connection issues because I was mining crypto at the time, Mark hung in there for me, he kept reaching out to me. Thank You Mark Dustin D.

“Faulty messaging system has cost me $$”

Michelle L.

Aside from the fact that many of the tutors on this site have wasted hours of my time because they did not know the material that they claimed to know, I have also lost money as a result of the wyzant messaging system. On NUMEROUS occasions, I have sent messages that appeared to go through but never actually did. When I logged back into my account, the messages had disappeared. As a result, i have had to pay for lessons that I thought I'd cancelled via the messaging system. This company's customer service is abysmal and you hunt all over the internet to find a phone number. The tutors should provide contact information but everything goes through this faulty messaging system. I am filing a dispute with my bank to try to recoup the money that I've lost.

Update, I recently had an amazing session with Steve V from Ocala Fl …Is amazing. Very helpful. I believe he teaches statistics! I appreciate the way he teaches. The way he explains things provides the ability to understand it. I really enjoy my session with him will continue to utilize his help for as long as it is required.

I started Wyzant in May (today is June 11th) and I have one students and have made close to $1,000 already. What I love is the fact that the customer proposes a fee. Then the tutor has the opportunity to accept that amount, charge more, or less. Once you gain a trusting client who likes your work, the revenue starts pouring in. I also love that Wyzant sets it all up, keeps track of all the details, and only takes a small percentage. I am very happy with that. I have made no less that $30 an hour. Some people actually propose as high as $75 an hour depending on the request. If you are pondering whether or not to join, stop thinking and go ahead and set up your account. You won't regret it. Go for it.

I started tutoring for Wyzant about 2 months ago. The clients I have gotten (both online & in person) have been incredible! I am working with children from 3rd grade through High School/SAT prep. The market place provides great opportunities. I have enjoyed working for Wyzant and even earned a raise because I have many clients and record a lot of hours!

Students learn the Spanish language very quickly and easily.
The way I teach Spanish is very pleasant and professional. I'm interested in people talking, writing and reading very well. I teach many things from different countries in Latin America and I am interested in the specific needs of the student to advance in this language.

In the last 3 years I have hired three different tutors from Wyzant. All three focused on different subject areas and all were very knowledgeable. They all worked well with my son to help him understand and improve his grades. I would highly recommend using Wyzant to find a tutor for your child. I recommend reading about the tutors qualifications, purchasing the background check and meeting the tutors in a public place or somewhere you can monitor.

I've been very happy with the site and client-draw. I'm a tutor who wanted to do just that: tutor. I was not in it for the money (still not) and my first client took MONTHS to come, but less than a year later, I have 4 steady pupils and I'm over 50 hours making 70% of my $55/hour rate. Between the four clients I do about 24 - 27 hours a month. It adds up quickly and the pressure goes away once you decide to do it for fun and to help others.
Now, for me, it's just easy, extra money.

We found an amazing tutor through WyzAnt. Heather LeBeau worked with our daughter and gave her some good tips to use for the exam. We hope that she will improve her score on the next test. Heather met with Lauren at a local library, was prompt and well prepared. I would recommend this site, especially Heather to anyone!

Wyzant provides me with an outstanding white board and digital tools, endless respect and outstanding customer service for my online tutoring. I graduated 2010 with a 3.7 GPA from U of AZ with a PhD and two minors, wrote a textbook that won 4 national awards in 2011/2012, and 2015 was published in an international peer reviewed journal. Yet, after 400 job applications I had ONE phone interview due to age discrimination. I have been a field researcher since 2005. As my husband is a 100% disabled Vietnam Veteran, we live where the year round mild climate makes his breathing possible. Wyzant is always respectful and pays on time.

My experience with Wyzant was very outstanding. My tutor was very knowledgeable and the knowledge he shared with me, help was immensely. He made sure i understood the principles of the subject and how to solve the statistics problems that I had to learn. I would recommend your service because it has help me a considerably in being successful in this course. My tutor was Joshua B and he was an excellent tutor. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking help in any math course.

I'm a tutor and have been for a number of years. From my perspective, Wyzant does a great job. I charge what I want per hour; Wyzant takes their percentage for running this service, and I get the rest.
After many tutorings and many good reviews from students of my work, I sometimes get direct requests for my tutoring service.
The best thing is that Wrzant removes me from having to bill the students directly.

If anyone claiming to be a tutor for Wyzant asks for any type of payment method then they should be reported to Wyzant immediately. Wyzant tutors are paid by Wyzant.

After being out of the business world for 15 years raising family and taking care of older parents, I was shocked to find out how much technology grew. I knew I needed a tutor. Les is my tutor and he is so patient and kind. I signed up through another tutor company and was never contacted. With WyzAnt I received many tutor requests. I am very happy and satisfied.

As a 20-year college professor, I have used all of the Learning Management Systems (LMS) available. WA uses Blackboard, the best LMS, for online learning. As a result, all subject-matters can be covered effectively using pedagogical and/or andragogical methodologies.

When students state they are seeking in-person/local sessions in their post, tutors outside their geographical area do not respond. When students state specific learning objectives that they want to achieve, tutors who can meet those particular needs will respond. General posts such as "need to learn computer science," or "want to learn law" will receive responses that may or may not meet their exact needs.

While Lynda.com boasts criticism of Professors in Higher Education, along with. Posts from their tutors that exhibit a severe lack of subject-matter knowledge and skills, WyzAnt.com (WA) showcases the qualified and expert tutors it employs. WA ensures positive learning experiences, and provides excellent support to both its tutors and students.

WA provides and manages all resources necessary to connect students to excellent tutors, including procurement and allocation, payroll, legal, administrative functions, etc., so that tutors can focus on managing their projects, and prevail in helping students meet their goals and achieve success. Their management in these areas is very much worth the percentage WA charges.

WyzAnt.com is an outstanding company for both students and tutors.

Wyzant does all the thing that make tutoring undesirable like marketing and collection.
A little preperation and you can zero in on your student's problem and move them ahead. The goal of any good tutor should be to work yourself out of a job. That is easy with Wyzant.

I had a huge assignment and like the average student I waited until the last minute. I had great help from a tutor who not only only took the time to explain but cared about the grade j received from the instructor. What a great experience.

I like Wizant because they are easy to use, have great tutors, and super customer service. One time I did not understand a charge, so I called them and they were able to help me resolve the/any issue.

I highly recommend Wizant.

Two classes with Carilyn so far. Davis has enjoyed his sessions and has given us (parents) positive feedback. We are hopeful for a great outcome through this process. Ultimately, Davis knows he has to do the work.

Damion has been very patient and explained some concepts of statistics in a way I can understand the processes. He's been respectful of my time and very willing to help in any way he can and will research the answers he might not know. He also seeks to understand the processes we use (data systems) so he can help me to understand.
