San Mateo, California, United States
What it is
Wyzant connects learners with independent tutors for one-to-one instruction online or in person. Its marketplace lists more than 65,000 tutors across over 300 subjects, including math, science, languages, test preparation, business, music, art, and sports. Tutors set their own hourly rates; Wyzant displays an average range of $35–$60 per hour for online tutoring. Signing up, searching for tutors, and messaging them are free. There is no subscription or upfront payment, though students pay a 9% service fee per lesson, plus applicable taxes; cancellations are also subject to the fee. A student's first hour with a new tutor is covered by the Good Fit Guarantee, under which the student does not pay if unsatisfied. Online lessons use the browser-based Learning Studio, which supports video chat, an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and real-time text and code editing. The feature comparison lists Wolfram Alpha integration. Student and tutor apps are available for iOS and Android, but online Learning Studio lessons require a desktop or laptop. Students can review whether a tutor has had a background check and request one or an updated check.
