What is the Referral Program and how does it work?

We give each tutor listed on Wyzant a unique link to refer their friends and family. With the Wyzant Referral Program, tutors can earn points by inviting students and other tutors to be listed on Wyzant. Points are redeemable either for cash or donations. You can send your referral link via email, text message, or by posting to your social media pages. You only receive points if you use your unique referral link, which is available on the Invite Students page.

If you believe a referral was incorrectly applied or if you did not receive the appropriate referral rate or reward, please contact Customer Support. 

When you refer a new student to Wyzant, and that student takes lessons with you, you will receive 100% of your hourly rate. The Platform Fee is not assessed for lessons you submit for a referred student. Please note that the student will still be subject to the normal 9% service fee for these lessons.

If your referred student decides to take lessons with another tutor, the student will have the cost of their first lesson with that tutor covered up to $40. In addition, you will receive 40 reward points after that lesson has concluded.

If you've referred a new tutor to be listed on Wyzant, you'll get 10 reward points after the referred tutor submits their first lesson to the Wyzant platform.

Rewards points expire 1 year from the date they are accrued, and cannot be redeemed once they have expired.

A student I referred to the platform is not listed as a "Referred Student", what can I do?

If you referred a student to the Wyzant platform, are you entitled to 100% of your rate for any charges you submit to that student's account. 

You can confirm that a student referral was properly applied by locating the student on your Student Connections page. If there is a green checkmark under the "Referred Student" column this means the referral was properly applied.

You can check the "Pay" column on your Lessons page to verify the lesson charges you submit for the student are properly paid at 100% of your rate. 

If you believe a referral was incorrectly applied or if you did not receive the appropriate referral rate or reward, please contact Customer Support.

Can I use the online tool with my students outside of Wyzant?

Yes! Your student will first need to sign up for a free Wyzant account, and we just ask that you submit the lesson on Wyzant as well. You’ll get 100% of the rate you charge them, but please note that they will be charged the standard 9% service fee. Here’s how to get your student signed up:

1. Ask the student to sign up for a free Wyzant account on Wyzant.com.
2. They will be asked to tell us how they heard of Wyzant and if they say that a tutor referred them, they can submit your email address (the one associated with your Wyzant account) and you will receive the referral credit for that student.
3. Schedule the lesson on your Wyzant calendar and indicate that the lesson will be online. The student will then receive an email with a link to the online room, and directions on how to set up for their lesson. They’ll also be able to enter the online lesson directly from their dashboard.
4. Once the lesson is complete, submit it directly to Wyzant. As mentioned, you’ll keep 100% of your rate, but your student will be charged the standard 9% service fee.
