We are very happy with our tutoring service. Our tutor is very knowledgeable and prepared. Our only regret is not having her sooner!

"My Tutor is great"

My Tutor is great, keeps me on track and is a good person to talk with

"Quick response and great tutor"

My daughter was having trouble with Calc AB. I posted a request for a tutor, and within an hour had multiple responses, some for online, some for in-person. My daughter had two sessions that day, and continued working with one of the tutors over the next several weeks. She was able to pull her grade up with the tutor's excellent help. Thank you!

"Excellent site that connects students …"

Excellent site that connects students with great tutors!

"like seriously the online Wyzant remote …"

like seriously the online Wyzant remote interaction tool states that it is “the most powerful online learning tool in the world.” This is absolutely a ridiculous claim! I use the platform as a means to learn Java programming. It’s a bit frustrating when you’re getting Java programming tutoring and using a tool that is constantly intermittently going offline on a regular basis. Other than that my tutors of all have been great. They try to help me out the best they can and I thank them for that. I’m going to go ahead and keep using Wyzant but I really hope they get some of this backend stuff sorted out.

"Affordable tutoring option"

This is a good option for tutoring. The online tutoring works really well. It is affordable and it is easier than traveling to a tutoring center.

"The two tutors we have worked with have …"

The two tutors we have worked with have been great and very helpful to my daughter.

"Excellent source for quality …"

Excellent source for quality experienced tutors.

"A 40% Initial fee for Tutors and a 7% Service Fee for Students"

Their business model results in a service that can be very costly for some students and unproductive for some tutors. The initial charge to tutors is 40% of the hourly rate. On top of that they charge students a service fee of 7% for each tutoring session. Overall, they collect 47%! I am confident that the high hourly percentage taken from tutors results in some tutors charging a much higher hourly rate. If tutor does not charge the higher rate, the tutor will obviously earn less than his or her typical fee. It seems logical that if the tutor is earning less, the student might be treated differently from other students. This does not seem very appealing from a tutor’s perspective or a student’s perspective.

Another issue that I have with them is the exams they give to tutors. My information here might be old but I do recall that the test was open book test and I do not think there was a time limit. This is what I recall but this was several years ago. This aspect is good for the tutors but may not be very good for students. In addition, many of the tutors claim that they teach a long list of subjects. If I were hiring a tutor, I would want to work with someone specialized a a few subjects.

Also, my experience has been that their leads are low quality. It is very strange. You would think that people who need help would respond. The leads from other tutoring services respond much more frequently.
