Pros

Okay platform for billing, I never have to hunt down payments from parents. Good scheduling system. (Nothing tutorpanel can't do for a lot less money out of my pocket though!)

Cons

Starting rate is redonkalous. I pay the same percentage rate to an actual office that I work out of, but they give me space to work out of, office equipment, training, tutorpanel subscription etc, and they actually give me leads instead of leaving me to fend for myself. Starting out on WyzAnt is REALLY HARD, they definitely don't give you any guidance. Now that I'm more established there it isn't so bad, but it took a long time to get my first lead from them. I don't really know why, but I generally find that WyzAnt parents have unreasonable expectations in comparison to other parents that I work with. I can bill higher out of my office and the parents basically just trust me to do my job, I think with WyzAnt since I "came from the internet" they think of tutoring as a commodity.

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

so, for literally four years this went on i get a message about a real job, and i do not respond to it for two days and they ban my account.
