What Wyzant 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 300+ subjects, including math, science, languages, test preparation, business, music, art, and sports. Tutors set their own hourly rates, and Wyzant displays an average online tutoring range of $35–$60 per hour. Signing up, searching for tutors, and messaging them are free. There is no subscription or upfront payment, but students pay a 9% service fee per lesson, with applicable taxes; cancellations are also subject to that fee. The first hour with a new tutor is covered by the Good Fit Guarantee, so a 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. Wyzant also offers student and tutor apps for iOS and Android, but Learning Studio is not supported on mobile devices. Online lessons use a desktop or laptop. Founded in 2005, Wyzant is headquartered in San Mateo, California.
