Wyzant

Wyzant is a tutoring marketplace: parents create a free account, search for tutors by subject, price, and reviews, message candidates, and then schedule one‑on‑one online or in‑person lessons billed per hour through Wyzant’s platform.

Parents typically vet tutors, manage scheduling and billing, and may sit in on early sessions or debrief afterward, while older teens often meet alone and receive periodic progress summaries.

Learners need enough maturity to focus during a live lesson and, for online tutoring, access to a computer with webcam, microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Wyzant is a tutoring marketplace where families can search for tutors experienced with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, or gifted education and filter by style, modality, and budget. Because it’s highly individualized, it can be a powerful way to build a personalized support team if parents interview tutors carefully about neurodiversity.

Wyzant itself is just a tutoring marketplace, but it can be a very helpful tool for dyscalculia if you deliberately search for tutors who list experience with learning differences or dyscalculia specifically. A good 1‑1 tutor using a mastery approach, lots of manipulatives, and accommodations like extra time and reduced written load can make a big difference, so this can be an excellent support depending on the individual teacher you choose.

Wyzant lets families search specifically for dyslexia-trained and Orton-Gillingham–certified tutors, so you can match your child with someone who understands structured literacy and reading interventions. One-to-one online or in-person sessions allow instruction to be paced, scaffolded, and multi-sensory in ways that are hard to accomplish in a standard curriculum alone.

Wyzant explicitly advertises tutoring for “special needs” students and lets families search for special‑education tutors, making it a flexible choice for children with a wide variety of medical, cognitive, or developmental disabilities who require individualized one‑to‑one instruction.

Wyzant’s Good Fit Guarantee lets you request a refund of the first hour with a new tutor if the lesson isn’t a match; beyond that, individual tutors set their own cancellation and refund policies.

Not a great fit for very young children who need lots of movement and play, for families seeking a full all-in-one curriculum rather than targeted help, or for those on very tight budgets who can’t sustain hourly rates.

Wyzant continues to refine its online classroom and family account tools, making it easier to manage multiple learners under one login and view lesson reports.

When you contact a potential tutor, share a short written snapshot of your child (age, goals, challenges) and attach a recent assignment—then ask the tutor to describe how they’d structure the first three sessions so you can gauge fit before committing.
