Wyzant is a good platform to work with…

Wyzant is a good platform to work with as a tutor. They have a very interactive online classroom that has a whiteboard, different symbols you can use, and you can also implement video chat. Just make sure you are prepared before the lessons you want to teach so students won't rate you with a poor review.

Negative Experience Creating Tutor Profile

I created a tutor profile with Wyzant, passed subject tests, submitted a profile summary, photo, paid for and passed the background check. My background is computer engineering in industry, including mentoring new college grads. In school, I was a TA with lab and classroom tutoring experience. I got a rejection with no clear explanation. I emailed customer support and didn't receive clarification. I simply "did not meet vetting requirements" and was told to try again in six months.

Terrible

Terrible - Tudor never showed up, no response since. Customer support is non existent. Look elsewhere - the service seems terrible and really unreliable

Excellent Algebra 2 tutoring!

My daughter just completed a tutoring session with Priti and we have nothing but positive things to say. Our tutor was extremely knowledgeable and professional. My daughter was having difficulty with understanding Algebra 2 graphing and Priti patiently went through several problems before checking for understanding. She offered positive feedback and asked the right questions so that she could understand why my daughter was having difficulty with graphing. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to show your child another way to solve the problem. We will definitely be going back for additional tutoring sessions.

Deceptive Business Practices and unwilling to correct. Stay far way!!!

This company is absolutely awful. They overcharged me an hour due totheir scheduling restrictions and it was their fault because they told me to go ahead and schedule and then explain to our tutor. They refused to refund my money and would only give me credit hours to use going forward which would require me to pay for another months worth of services. We will never use this company again.

sketchy hiring process, waste of time

It is hard to imagine someone more qualified: i have an ivy league degree in my field, have published academic books and textbooks with top publishers, and have nearly 20 yrs of teaching and tutoring experience, with all levels of college students. i am very well liked and popular with my students. i took great care to set up my profile, etc. so that it is informative and as instructed by the site. I have no criminal record and no conflicts of interest. And yet I received some vague email about not meeting the vetting process and that my account had been deactivated. Their email communications seem to be done with AI software and the service is poor at best. Complete waste of time. Based on my experience, it seems clear that they do vetting via some AI software that scans for keywords, or similar.

Shady and fraudulent company

This company is shady and not transparent about their process. They reject people for flimsy reasons, after collecting money from them for background check. They are not upfront about any of their so-called terms. I think they just reject people randomly. If you are an aspiring tutor, avoid at all cost.

Don't apply

I applied to be one of their tutors and they denied me. With no specific reason why. After I asked they said they couldn't tell me. Their customer support was extremely unhelpful.

I noticed that Wyzant has a 1.5 score…

I noticed that Wyzant has a 1.5 score and that's because all of the latest reviews (6 I think) are negative - very negative. But actually, it has 84% 5 star reviews, just that the last one was written in 2024. So here I am, ready to bump this amazing company back up to at least a 4!I've had nothing but great experiences. My daughter is struggling with the Science Regents and I found Wyzant from a simple Google search. I couldn't believe how easy it is to use the platform. We set up 4 "interviews" with tutors that seemed to fit our parameters and all of them were lovely, knowledgeable and excited to teach! We chose a tutor and I was able to view my daughter's video after her first session with no problems at all. She had an amazing session where she was engaged and actively participating. I didn't watch the whole thing, just jumped around on it and never saw a moment where she wasn't smiling or concentrating. By the way, the tutor is Ryan M. We love the whiteboard feature, the sharing, the messaging, the quality...all very good and really, this service is just so incredibly valuable and useful. I have worked in platform technology for a long time and the UI is really good. Don't believe the haters! There aren't that many of them (shame on you TrustPilot). Just a few people that had a bad experience should not be enough to rate a company with over 1500 reviews, most of which are 5 star, so low. We will definitely be using this service again as we enter the high school years.

Lesson recording platform is a JOKE

The tutors we have found are fantastic. If you pick carefully, you should do well, and if not, the first one is free. Where Wyzant SUCKS is in the recordings. The lesson are supposed to be recorded so you can review again later. But their software blows it 9/10 times. Each time in a seemingly different way.First it doesn't start recording the white board until you switch to the second board, so the first board is missing. (Oh, so you can just switch to the second board then back again and trick the system to start recording? NO! It won't start recording until BOTH 4 minutes or so have passes, AND you switch to a different whiteboard!) (This may only when you upload a PDF to review.)Once you get past that, it randomly stops (or never starts) recording video, audio, or both. Despite the word "Recording..." flashing on the screen the whole time.And if either you or the tutor have to leave the lesson and rejoin, forget about it. The rest of the recording is toast.
