Wyzant Reviews

The experience in terms of finding a tutor was okay. But the issue with this app is that there is basically no customer service. Rude, professional agents, especially the ones who take care of online chatting for customer support. I would recommend no one link their banking information to the this app account, because I bet there will be some financial issues with the tutor, and this app would not do anything. They charge your PayPal account in the forms of ”automated payment, ” which makes it really hard to dispute. It is not a subscription service so there would be no need for them to charge you with automated payment. One of my tutors told me that this app takes a quite huge percentage from the payment also. I am pretty sure they do not invest that to improving customer service.

Do not use this app. There are other subscription services such as Chegg. I have had no issues with them, especially in terms of payment. this app is so worried that the customer contacts tutor directly to avoid their service fee, mandatory fees they take from the tutor. I understand that, but it cause so many confusion, meaningless wait time whenever there is a payment issue.

If I could give zero stars I would. I’ll try to keep this brief...I was looking for a Gmat tutor. I created an account. Built my profile. All seemed good. I messaged a local tutor that looked promising. I needed a tutor ASAP so I proved the tutor my phone number in the message and let them know I was interested in their services. I waited for a reply. No reply. I went back to Wyzant and it is asking me for a credit card. Hmm that’s weird. They want to run my credit card... why??? I’ve used message and platform apps before but they never forced me to put in a credit card and then charge the credit card just to send messages and connect with users. I called support. They told me I need to put in a credit card to use their app because I’m not allowed to give my phone number out in messages. Why would I give my credit card over so easily to you? Wyzant is bogus and they need to fix their new client adoption process. Zero stars and I’m not using them again. No one should. Call and friend and ask if they know a tutor. Also they charge 9% service fee. Way to high. See yah

They claim there is a great fit tutor guarantee, but even when the tutor leads you in a wrong direction putting you in a worse off place than you were when you started, even if the tutor straight up says they don’t know how to help you, this app’s customer service never gets back to you. It may be worth the risk, just don’t expect them to follow through on their promise of crediting you, refunding you, or finding you someone to better help you. And especially don’t try the find me a tutor option, where you set a time and they find you a tutor. They set me up with tutors who literally never looked at what they were teaching. They told me they were doing a quick tutorial before the session. I told them it wouldn’t work, then I tried again and it rematched me with the same person. I told the person that this wouldn’t work for me, then the person went off on me for messaging them. The tutors don’t seem to know it’s an automatic match. I wish there were more options for this sort of service out there.

I needed drastic help in Algebra 2 and the tutors here on this app were very outgoing and many were willing to help me. I had this one tutor and she helped me from not getting an F in my math class because I was heading down the path of failing. She was always available and even when things came up, we were both able to work around it. Definitely recommended for parents who have children in need of any help in high school, especially for math.

Justin is an exceptional calculus tutor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and my son has benefited greatly from his lessons since the very first one. Justin is patient and explains everything step-by-step to ensure that my son understands the topic thoroughly. We will definitely be booking more hours with him; he’s our go-to tutor now. I’d like to mention that although we’ve used this app tutors before, Justin is by far our first choice. Highly recommended for his exceptional services

I loved my lesson with Jordana today, because my vocal concerns were not only heard, but understood. She then guided me to start at the beginning. We openly experimented with a variety of ways to nurture, protect, and build up my personal foundation, and my personal core. In this way, I learned and experienced a fundamental principle that will support me in producing free flowing of sound. This was amazing because I have searched and searched for this for a really long time. For me, singing involves the body, mind, and spirit. Jordana’s approach covers them all.

I am incredibly grateful to Cynthia for her outstanding tutoring, which helped me achieve an advanced score on my TEAs exam. She was extremely knowledgeable in all sections of the test, from math and science to reading and English. Cynthia’s patient and thorough approach made challenging topics easy to understand, and she always found ways to explain concepts in a way that clicked for me. Her encouragement and guidance not only boosted my confidence but also allowed me to feel fully prepared on test day. I couldn’t have reached this milestone without her support!

I had to download Wyzant again after not using it for years and realized I never left a review. My daughter took Latin in High school and was failing. The only Latin tutoring available was with the teacher who was already confusing and upsetting her. I was feeling hopeless but was able to connect with a wonderful retired college Latin professor and spent weeks driving my daughter an hour each way for lessons. Her grades improved dramatically and after 8 weeks we were able to stop.

I reached out to Kevin to help clarify a Java assignment I had been tasked with. I’m coming into Java with a background that’s revolved solely around Python. Kevin helped explain concepts and tools that I struggled to understand in a very clear and concise manner. By the end of our session, I had a strong grasp of the knowledge I needed to finish my assignment. I look forward to reaching out to him again in the near future. In the meantime I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Computer Science tutor!

My 13 yo son was looking to join his school’s math team. The current team had been playing together for 3 years so my son had a lot of catch-up to do in a very short amount of time in order to make the team. Peter helped him get up to speed quickly. My son tried out a few different tutors but Peter really stood out for him. Peter has been great at advancing my son’s math competition knowledge and running very efficient lessons. He also has a positive style that makes learning feel encouraging. We highly recommend Peter.

If you have a great teacher, who is kind, affable, knowledgeable, and of course helpful then you are a lucky person. So is Natasha . She has all these qualities and a good option to learn something creative. My son was getting stuck in the picture description. She better knows how to conduct lessons and make the learner pick it quickly. My son likes her methodology, The best thing which I learned through her lessons she send to me my son work . Next time what will they study plan. Her lessons were so creative and useful. Thank you Natasha my son is increasingly improve..

I’ve used this app several times this year. I didn’t experience difficulty with customer service nor with any tutors. I’m not your most tech savvy person but the application and how to use was fairly easy. My tutor experiences have been great thus far. I would admit, sometimes you may have to try a few in order to find the right fit. The students learning style and the tutors teaching style has to be compatible. I have emailed the tutors of my interest to kind of go through a little q&a prior to scheduling the session. I truly will use again and will recommend to other families.

My son is high functioning with autism but has blocks in his brain with math. Although he usually has grades in the low 90s, this year was tough as you added in chem so we had some mid 80s and 70s. We worked with Danylo on the last week of finals. My son was struggling to get concepts down as his brain was so overwhelmed with facts for each subject. Danylo helped Colin a lot through patience and routine. Whilst I have been my son’s tutor, he needed a break from me. Danylo was the perfect solution. Grade came back today. With the help of a very good final exam grade he wound up with an A- in Alg 2! Wished I used Danylo earlier!

I have always been hesitant with seeking help from a tutor let alone paying for one because of the uncertainty of walking away with a better understanding of a subject however Michael completely changed the way I feel towards tutoring!! 100%. He has made me not only understand Econometrics better but has created a place for me to learn and grow not just fulfilling my assignments. Thank you very much for all the time you have offered. I always feel more confident in this subject after every tutor session. He deserves 100 ⭐️. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

With Kelsey you hit the ground running on Lesson 1. He is extremely insightful and knowledgeable, and will know exactly how to help. That help includes lots of access to extremely practice resources but also fundamentally centers on how to help you to make adjustments in how you read and interpret because MCQ’s, DBQ’s, SAQ’s LEQ’s involve a certain “deciphering” of how to correctly answer what is being asked of you. Kelsey nails how to do that. My daughter’s grade was raised an entire letter grade in a matter of a handful of lessons. He is also such a gracious and patient educator. Highly recommend and cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsey!

We’ve been working with Jane for about a month now. She works with 2 of my children once a week and both are working on two different areas that need improvement. She is an amazing tutor. Both of my children have different ways of learning and absorbing information and Jane was able to adapt to their ways of learning. My son and daughter are teenagers and they are actually looking forward to their weekly lessons with Jane. She will be a part of our family for a long time as we have two younger ones growing up who will hopefully be able to start working with Jane pretty soon.

Jack is a great teacher! I was looking for a tutoring of Honor Humanity course for my son, and then we met Jack, and we are so grateful to find him. My son has already had three English essay writing lessons with Jack, and we will continue them. As a professional writer, Jack helped my son write a fantastic story for his school project. He is a patient and supportive teacher who knows how to motivate and engaged his students in the writing essay process. The environment in his classroom is positive, educational, and inspiring. My son has learned a lot and began more confident in writing, grammar, and critical thinking. Thank you so much, Jack!

I highly recommend Jack to everyone.

I was hesitant to try on line tutoring, since my 10th grader needed help this weekend with Geometry. I like in person tutoring.
I took a chance with Tamar and was pleasantly surprised that in a short notice she was able to accommodate us. Tamar communicated with me hours before his first lesson so that she would have all the necessary school work before she started tutoring my son. She was also very engaged with my son and was easy to understand. Thank you
I also want to thank this app on how easy it was to do online tutoring through their website app.
I love love all the tools it provides, like the folders and the recording. I definitely recommend Tamar and this app.

I was a bit apprehensive because of price and because I wanted to cover a lot of material in a short period. Professor Park, blew through most everything I wanted to cover, but at my own pace (without spending unnecessary time on items I already knew), and adjusted quickly to the specific learning needs I had that even I wasn’t aware of. It is very clear he’s a talented and very experienced instructor. You can’t get a better finance instructor, honestly. He truly simplifies every concept for real life applications and breaks it down for you to construct. He is interactive and wants to make sure you are comfortable with the material. Truly a whole different level of instruction.

She is amazing! Not only is she proficient in her knowledge but also patient and explains complicated concepts in direct and clear manner that makes it easier to understand.

She also gently guides the lesson plan to advance at an appropriate speed and adapted well as needed based on my daughter’s needs.

My 16 year old daughter has learning differences and she was a perfect fit! Thus, I booked her for multiple sessions ahead of time. We are now going on our third session:)
