As a tutor, I had a negative experience with Wyzant. My education is in conventional and combines work experience. My tutoring role with them started at their inception, at which time I passed their... See more

I think they're incompetent. I applied to be a tutor and went through their laborious "quizzes" to show I knew the fields. They rejected me because I supposedly "wasn't a permanent resident of the U... See more

Wyzant does not investigate ethical complaints of tutors acting outside of professional contracts. I just experienced billing not in accordance to tutor policy and multiple emotional and personal to my personal Contacts. Wyzant acts in the autonomy of their verified tutors. They have not responded to the limited feedback submittals. Beware

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. My child was sick the night before the session. Tutor never sent a confirmation the day before and never messaged the day of the session. Reached out to customer service who basically said too bad, nothing they can do. Tutor charged me a $65 late fee. This is a greedy, heartless company. Never use them!

Furballs!!

My daughter started lessons with a piano teacher. At first she seemed incredibly nice then suddenly she wasn't so nice! I realize that part of it was my fault because I simply didn't know how short nails needed to be because this was new to us. But the nasty attitude we received was ABSOLUTELY uncalled for! The lessons were done at her home and honestly she was not a very clean person but my daughter liked her so I tried to tolerate but after the nastiness and the FOURTH week of looking at the same piles of cat fur. I was honestly glad to leave it all behind!!! Oooh and her name is MARY ELLEN! What ever you do take lessons elsewhere! Ugh!

This platform does not let me open an account as a Spanish tutor and even refuses to explain why.
I have been working in education and in the online tutor community for a long time and I have never had problems with platforms of this style (Preply, Classgap, Italkie, Varsitytutors ...)
I honestly feel excluded, without even a coherent explanation, this type of situation tarnishes the credibility and work ethic of our online community, and as a member of this community I will do everything in my power to together with my co-workers. and students bring to light this type of exclusive actions of your platform.
I found out later from co-workers who were on that platform that Wyzant has had tax problems and exploits its workers. So I have to thank you for not accepting me ...

Wyzant tutors such as Dana M attempt to commit fraud

Wyzant tutors such as Dana M attempt to complete fraudulent billing practices. They ask you for your credit card before the first tutoring session and then their tutors complete fraud by charging your card for work they never did. I was told by Dana M that I would not be charged for tutoring sessions that were canceled 24 hours in advance. I no longer needed tutoring sessions so I canceled my sessions in ample time not expecting to get charged. I contacted Wyzant directly to make them aware that I canceled the sessions and that I did not expect to receive a charge on my credit card. A representative from Wyzant explained that I will not be charged for canceled tutoring session because I canceled 24 hours in advance. She assured me I would not get billed. I just received a bill for a session that never happened. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD THE TUTORS COMPLETE FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICE.

Run-Fraud Tutor Charges, fees & NO GUARANTEE

Run! Horrible- Fraudulent Charges made on our credit card, 2 times! The Tutor Ilona M. Overcharge us for time she was NOT present and proceeded to CREATE a Bogus Appt. which we were Again Charged including a Cancellation Fee!

*WYZANT has not remedied the matter since March 2021- May 24, 2021 waste of time again with the useless “customer service”.

Additionally they hadn’t posted the promotion code which proves the tutors can commit fraud which they are condoning by not addressing or rectifying. No such GUARANTEE for proper Services-

Asked for help with a PRACTICE quiz because I have test anxiety and the tutor was unwilling to help and said he could only “review the concepts” which is ridiculous. Then they proceeded to deactivate my account. Don’t use them use Varsity Tutors instead!!!

I have tried for months to figure out how to connect with potential students. To no avail. This is the worst platform for your tutoring business. Buyer beware. It is hard to use. It is hard to message a potential student. It really sucks.

Terrible Experience. Avoid this company.

Terrible Customer Service. Paid for multiple lessons with different tutors. Several didn't show up on time. We tried to get a refund through Wyzant and got no response from them at all. I would recommend looking elsewhere for more reliable companies.

Do Not Trust this site

Do Not Trust this site. Highly untrusty site. They will debit the account money without valid reason.
I had very bad experience with Voice teacher for the trial lesson itself.
