Wyzant, the largest tutoring marketplace in the U.S., today announced its Wyzant for Business education benefits package.

With Covid-19 infections high across many states, more and more school districts across the country are opting for remote learning-only to kick off the school year. Parents across the country are now facing another school year trying to balance full time remote work while also supporting a robust learning program for their children at home. The recession has also created a strong need among workers to look for ways to upskill and re-skill for career growth and longevity.
“When no one’s in the office, perks like free lunch and onsite gym memberships aren’t very meaningful,” said Elaine Richards, president and COO of Wyzant. “We’re happy to be able to work directly with businesses looking to supplement employees and their families with online learning benefits. Some people might be looking to learn from professionals in their same field and others are looking for tutors who specialize in the reading or math curriculum taught in their school. We cover it all.”
