We feel that Wyzant is a safe option to find effective online tutoring. Despite not having mandatory background checks, the service does prominently display those tutors who have recently passed one (encouraging them to do so) and they will effectively fire those who can’t pass or refuse one. Further, students and parents can pay $15.99 to perform their own background check on a tutor. Finally, the company records all sessions, so that sessions can be reviewed later.
