Great service, good app

Wyzant provides an invaluable service to my tutoring business, and truth be told, without Wyzant I wouldn’t have near the success that I do. For tutors specifically, even with the cut that they take (which has improved vastly this year over last year’s tiered system) the Wyzant service provides a great tool for finding clients. The app itself is good. Improvements to the usability can certainly be made. For example, and easier way to switch between online and in person jobs would be great. But for what the app intends to provide, I don’t really have any major complaints. Overall, I’m very happy with the Wyzant app and service. The particularly great lesson I just had compelled me to write this review, so perhaps take my glowing recommendation with a grain of salt, but if you tutor, do yourself a favor and get on Wyzant. You won’t regret it.

App lacks organization

Many aspects of the WyzAnt app frustrate tutors, although the WyzAnt company itself is fabulous, serving at the forefront of connecting tutors with students online.Unfortunately, there are many problems. When the address of a tutoring location has been entered for one student, it cannot be copied to a second student. It can only be assigned to one student or assigned to all students, leading to a massive list of shared addresses to cull through when scheduling any session. Even worse, this long list of addresses is completely random, rather than alphabetical or, even better, listed by the frequency with which that student has met at a particular location. Instead, it's total chaos! When corresponding with a student or parent, there is no RETURN key to separate paragraphs, only a SEND button, so the message is all jumbled up instead of organized by neat paragraphs. And I could go on.Clearly, WyzAnt has not sought advice from top tutors like myself who tutor at 30-40 different locations and have up to 50 students at a time, hence exposing the weaknesses of this app.

We definitely don't intend to frustrate you, and we absolutely do seek advice from a lot of great tutors in our design process - but this feedback is incredibly helpful to us as well, of course. Thank you for the specifics, Computer Geek 0324. We are constantly iterating and updating the app, so hopefully a future version of the client will make things more streamlined and to your liking.

Waste of time.

Went through the process of becoming a tutor and took and passed their required tests. I did a background check for them and sent them my school transcripts and after their evaluation I was eligible to tutor. Never had a session with a student, answered a student’s homework help question, and they closed my account with no notification. After several emails back and forth (with no explanation) they finally told me that I violated section 18 b of the tutor agreement which, if you read it, is extremely vague. It basically just gave them the freedom to close my account for no good reason, as I mentioned before I hadn’t even gotten to tutor a student; I just answered someone’s homework question like on chegg. So, I’ve taken to leaving a bad review since they’ve decided not to communicate what I’ve done wrong so as to close my account without telling me. If you’re a student looking to tutor, don’t go through them or you might run into the same situation as me! Save yourself the time and find another tutoring program.

App -too inconsistent

Although this app has great potential, there are many aspects that make it time consuming. The student list doesn't coordinate with a tutors current list, making time consuming to search through the list. Also, if you are entering a lesson during the lesson, it frequently times out and you have to re-enter your notes. This issues still haven’t been addressed Finally when using the write board previously when you erased something it was erased from both ends, currently both myself and the student have to erase each board for it to clear, thus time consuming and confusing for the younger students.

Developer Response
We really appreciate the feedback, and we hope the app lives up to the potential you see in it sooner rather than later.Your comment about "the days of the week for a lesson were removed" is definitely the app not working as intended. We'll look into it and address it, thank you for bringing it to our attention!
