Wyzant, Inc. Wyzant tutoring In 2014, Wyzant has become a true scam for students seeking tutors Internet

I am a customer who used Wyzant from Aug 2014-July 2015 and hired nearly 200 hours' worth of tutoring with them.  The writer might have good advice to change your account setting to see "ratings" instead of "best match," but that does not qualify as a "rip-off" or "scam" to me.  I did not change any default settings and always looked carefully at the profiles offered.  Clearly, some lower on the list didn't really tutor in the area I wanted, or maybe mentioned it but spent most of their profile explaining how qualified they were for a different subject. 

I was very happy with the quality of the tutors I found through WyzAnt.  There were a couple "bad fits," but I put that down to personality issues.  All the tutors were qualified and seemed competent, but there were a couple tutors my somewhat-shy son had a hard time getting along with (so we went with a different tutor, no problem!).
  I don't think these bad fits were due to the computer trying to get me to hire their choices; as I said, I looked at profiles carefully and tried to find someone with experience with students the age of my son and who maybe would connect well with him -- but that it is very hard to figure out from a profile, or even the reviews of other customers (which I also read). 

I liked that WyzAnt had a first-session money-back guarantee.  As a customer, if I just go with a tutor who advertises for him/herself, I don't get such a guarantee.  Payment was very easy, and it was nice not to have to have cash or check available at each session to pay the tutor directly.

So, I have a recent experience and highly recommend the service!

To Whom It May Concern. This is my own rebuttal to this errant report. The writer has failed to understand that any company has the right to set procedures and/or rules. Naturally some people will become disgruntled when "They" cannot understand the meaning of these rules.

This report is a classic example of this. Where does the writer of this report get the idea that the rules and configuration of operation has to meet "Their" idea of what is right or wrong? It takes an imaginary made up situation to even formulate such a complicated situation. The world is what you make of it.

If you wish to create alterante realities then you have just proven that your report is of an alternate reality and has no relationship with any truth. The only truth being a mde up one? Cannot fathom how that is a comment.

Have had many student clients and have never had any problems. Their scheduling is clean and precise. Email system is easy to use. Payment is quick and to the penny. Called them on an occasion when I forgot to file a class session. Instantly answered the phone at night and gave me the correct procedure instantly. Also notice that this is the "Only" negative report out of 1,000's and 1,000's of teacher/student sessions. To me that shows that this system is working. Not only is it working. But it is working with great accuracy.

Any way. That is my take on it.
