Tutor Success Series: How to Use the Wyzant Online Learning Tool

Since demand for remote learning and homeschooling has vastly increased in the last few weeks, more tutors have taken their lessons online. And what’s more: there’s never been a time where online education experts play a more crucial role.

This shift toward distance learning certainly isn’t changing anytime soon. Online tutoring helps parents overwhelmed by the stresses of remote learning and school closures by giving their kids access to educators who provide not only expertise, but structure and focus. For students, tutoring means truly personalized support and the chance to continue working toward their education goals, even from home. For tutors, the move to online means more opportunities to connect with more students than ever before.

As a leader in online tutoring, we’ve always strived to ensure that the online lesson experience is different from other sites - more effective, easy to use, and with powerful features that accelerate the learning process. That’s why we created the Wyzant online learning tool.

Since it’s true that new students often depend upon their tutors to help them get started in their first online lessons, we want to make sure you feel confident when a student asks for help. So we created this short video tutorial that walks you through the whole process.

I need to learn how to respond to a potential student. I don't see where I can respond.

I tried to take a screen shot and it won't let me paste it. It may have been a scam the guy was proposing a rate of $275.🤷‍♀

I thought when I first joined Wyzant a couple of weeks ago that it said I could teach my existing students (not gotten through Wyzant) using Wyzant online. Now I can't figure out how to do that...the tool only seems to be for students obtained through Wyzant. It would be really beneficial for me to try out the Wyzant online application with a current student who already knows that I'm a capable teacher rather than to try it out with a brand new student who might get turned off if I do something incorrectly! How should I do this?

Hi, I have my first lesson tonight. Should I mark the wyzant calendar first? and then press the join lesson button?

When I tried to screenshare a PHET simulation from a chrome tab, it came onto the screen completely reversed, everything backwards. How can I fix this?
