Pros

Nothing but stress and dissatisfaction

Cons

Wyzant is an absolute joke. Tutors, go elsewhere where you will be respected and treated like a human being. Students, go elsewhere where you can get a reasonable lesson rate without a bloodsucking company down your throat. The students who I found through Wyzant were shady and unreliable. I had three sessions with one of my Wyzant students. I have yet to receive payment for the third session (as of 3 weeks later) and Wyzant has been unhelpful. The payment still reads "pending" and the mother is ignoring my multiple texts, calls and messages. I had an excellent first lesson with another one of my new students and her mother welcomed me back for further lessons. As I was leaving, she first threatened me saying that I would be fired from Wyzant for taking outside payments and then offered to pay me in cash. I declined, stating that I prefer to go through the website and she agreed that this was fine. She then left me 1 star feedback (the lowest). I messaged her, no response. I called her and she answered, then abruptly hung up after I introduced myself and she realized who it was. Wyzant has again been unhelpful. They will only remove the negative feedback if I void the lesson and decline payment. Ridiculous policy that makes zero sense. I WAS a valued tutor on Wyzant with multiple clients but now I refuse to give them any more of my business. Please do not support this underhanded and unreliable company.

Pros

nothing, really nothing. i signed up with them got a few jobs then once a week i would get the same notification that there was someone looking for a tutor then when i tried to go back to accept the job got a message that it was a scam and they were removing it. it was always the same name and they would follow up with the same autogenerated message: Hi Chris, We are reaching out in regards to a message you recently received from xxxxxxxxxxxxxx . After reviewing this request, we have determined that we will not be able to facilitate lessons with this account. Consequently, we have removed the request and your response rate and time will not be affected. Wyzant may remove requests that violate the terms of use, academic honesty or test policies, or if a request appears to be spam. Additionally, Wyzant may remove requests that cannot be facilitated because they fall outside of the parameters of our platform, or are not related to tutoring. Please note that Wyzant will not be able to uphold any lesson charges for this user or any new accounts they may create.

Cons
