Private Tutoring Service, WyzAnt, Launches Rewards Program for Tutors

Chicago, IL, June 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Private tutoring service, WyzAnt, recently launched a new incentive program available to its more than 15,000 certified tutors. The program, called WyzAnt Rewards, gives tutors the opportunity to receive a variety of rewards by earning points.

Tutors are rewarded with points every time they leave a testimonial about WyzAnt or refer new students or tutors. They can also earn points by encouraging their students to leave feedback after a lesson. The program aims to grow the WyzAnt community and spread the word about the company's tutoring services.

Points earned by tutors can be redeemed for cash prizes and vacations for two. As the program gains in popularity, it will become even easier for tutors to earn points and they will have a larger selection of prizes from which to choose. In the future, tutors will be able to earn points by writing articles about their favorite tutoring subjects, posting original tutoring themed videos on YouTube, or providing feedback on the WyzAnt website.

"Because our tutors and students are spread all over the country, we see this as an easy way to bring everyone together into one community. It's a way for us to grow our community and make it more valuable for both students and tutors. Students will benefit from an even larger pool of talented, certified tutors, while our tutors will have a growing student population and an even greater opportunity to teach and share their knowledge," said Andrew Geant, CEO of WyzAnt (http://www.wyzant.com).

WyzAnt has an extensive selection of tutors with over 15,000 professionals spread out over each of the 50 states. The company has helped match students with tutors in all of the major academic subjects, foreign languages, elementary education, computer software and programming, special needs, corporate training and standardized testing preparation. WyzAnt's students vary from pre-school to post-graduate and the company also helps corporations, schools and non-profit organizations with training and staffing.

"We never imagined we would grow this much in less than four years. We started out with one tutor in the fall of 2005 and six months later had a network of over 100 tutors, specializing in a variety of subjects. Many of our students come to us through repeat or referral business and we know it's our tutors who make it possible. This new WyzAnt Rewards Program is a great way for us to show our tutors how much we depend on them and appreciate them. Whether they're a Spanish tutor or a chemistry tutor, we know their success is our success," said Geant.
