What does WyzAnt, Inc do?
WyzAnt.com is a platform where tutors and students meet, communicate, process payments and manage their ongoing tutoring relationships. We provide a number of tools to both tutors and students that allow them to meet in an efficient, secure manner. The site includes extensive quality controls to ensure the quality of the tutors and that they respond to all student inquiries quickly.
How are they different?
WyzAnt allows students and parents to freely search an extensive network of qualified, local tutors, review tutors credentials and certifications, and initiate a dialogue to determine which tutor will be best suited to meet their individual needs. Other companies may offer similar services, but no other organization has such a robust network of qualified educators accessible free of charge.
Why could WyzAnt, Inc be BIG?
The tutoring industry within the United States is a multibillion dollar industry. As more parents turn to the internet to research educational options for their children, our established network of qualified tutors will position us well to take advantage of this lucrative market. Over the past 5 years, our successful online marketing efforts and SEO strategies have allowed WyzAnt to grow from a 2-person startup to an 11-person multimillion dollar company without taking any financing along the way.
How they plan to make money:
Most tutoring service providers function primarily as listing services, charging tutors and/or students a small fee to post an account or search their directory. WyzAnt actively facilitates the relationship between tutor and student from the time a student requests a tutor to the time lessons have been completed. WyzAnt is able to process all lesson transactions providing students with the freedom to choose a convenient method of payment while tutors are able to focus on providing excellent support with the security of knowing that they will be compensated for their time.
