Wyzant review

Wyzant works like a large catalog of private tutors, and that is why it leads this list for parents. You search by subject, read each tutor's profile, reviews and hours tutored, check whether a background check is on file, and message the tutor before booking. Each tutor sets an hourly rate, and Wyzant's own math page puts the typical range at $33 to $55 per hour, with cheaper and far more expensive tutors listed next to each other. There are no upfront fees and no packages, and you pay only after a lesson has happened. Lessons can be online or in person, which helps families who want a local tutor for a younger child. The Good Fit Guarantee covers the first hour if the first lesson does not work out. The tradeoff is that Wyzant does not match you: you compare tutors yourself, and quality depends on the person you pick.

Who it is for
