Pros

It is a very nice vehicle to reach new students and build a resume for tutoring. I'm a graduate student using this service to make a little extra money to increase my stipend, and it's very easy to pick up a few hours here or there.

Cons

The pay schedule is incredibly predatory. 30-40% of your rate goes to Wyzant, and while this might be apropriate for a first lesson or two, it's terrible for both the tutor and the student. The student feels they're paying you a much larger amount than they are, and thus feel like they've bought more of your time than they really have. While the matching service Wyzant provides is excellent, their policies make it pretty unsatisfying to work for them long-term.

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.
