## Why people look for Wyzant alternatives

Wyzant lets you pick your own tutor, but the hourly cost adds up, there is a 9% student fee, it is US only, and you have to schedule. People look for cheaper or free help, help at any hour, or a more structured service.

## The alternatives

### Varsity Tutors

**Best for:** Matched 1-on-1 tutoring, classes and test prep. **Price (October 2026):** Not published; ask for a quote. Free practice tests. **Platforms:** Web, iPhone, Android.

Private 1-on-1 tutoring, live classes and test prep in 3,000+ subjects, with video sessions, a virtual whiteboard and 24/7 instant tutoring in 70+ subjects in its app. Free practice tests and diagnostics online.

### Schoolhouse.world SAT

**Best for:** Free live SAT tutoring in small groups. **Price (October 2026):** Free. **Platforms:** Web (Zoom sessions).

Free official SAT tutoring with College Board: 4 weeks, two 75-minute sessions a week, at most 10 learners, led by high school tutors who scored in the 95th percentile or above.

**Watch out:** Fixed schedule; peer tutors, not adults.

### Khanmigo

**Best for:** Low-cost guided tutoring on Khan Academy (US). **Price (October 2026):** $4/month or $44/year; free for teachers. **Platforms:** Any web browser, including Chromebooks.

Khan Academy's AI tutor guides you to the answer instead of giving it. It covers math, science, coding, history and humanities, and works next to Khan Academy's lessons. A family plan covers up to 10 kids for the same price.

**Watch out:** US only. You sign up at 18+, or a parent signs up kids. No live voice conversation or screen sharing; it is turned off during Khan Academy quizzes and tests. [Full comparison](https://duckyhelper.com/compare/duckyhelper-vs-khanmigo/).

### ChatGPT study mode

**Best for:** Free step-by-step help on any device. **Price (October 2026):** Free; Go $8/month; Plus $20/month; Pro from $100/month. **Platforms:** Web, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows.

Study mode asks questions, gives hints and checks your understanding instead of only giving answers. It is free on every plan, and it can quiz you inside the chat. Voice is on all plans; Plus includes up to 3 hours a day of Live voice.

**Watch out:** It can still give direct answers. The default Live voice cannot see your camera or screen; screen share is in Advanced voice on the phone apps. 13+, with a parent's permission under 18. [Full comparison](https://duckyhelper.com/compare/duckyhelper-vs-chatgpt/).

### DuckyHelper (our product)

**Best for:** A live voice tutor that sees and marks up your screen, any subject. **Price (October 2026):** Free (about 6 min of talking a week); Plus $20/month; Pro $200/month; Unlimited $200/week. **Platforms:** Web app in any browser, including Chromebooks and Windows; Mac app (macOS 14+, Apple silicon).

A live voice tutor. Talk to Ducky and it sees your screen, explains out loud, and shows you: in the web app it draws marks on the preview of a tab, window or screen you share; in the Mac app it draws circles, arrows and labels right on your real screen and walks you through steps in your own apps, checking each one. Both make quizzes, worked steps, interactive graphs and pictures; flashcards, simulations, maps, timelines and the code runner are Mac app only, and longer practice tests are web only. A dashboard tracks time learned, streak, topics, mastery and test scores.

**Watch out:** New, with no track record yet. The free plan is small, and you get far less talking time per dollar than with chat apps. Drawing on your real screen, step checks inside other apps and flashcards are Mac only. No phone app. Under 13 only with verified parental consent.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there free online tutoring like Wyzant?

Yes. Tutor.com says its human tutoring is free through thousands of schools, public libraries and employers, and for eligible military families. Schoolhouse.world runs free live SAT tutoring with College Board.

### Is Wyzant cheaper than Varsity Tutors?

We cannot say for sure because Varsity Tutors does not publish consumer prices. Wyzant says its average is $35 to $60 an hour plus a 9% fee. Tutor.com lists $39.99 a month for one hour.

### Can an AI tutor replace a human tutor?

Not fully. A person is better at motivation, judgment and planning. AI tutors like Khanmigo, ChatGPT or DuckyHelper are there any time and cost far less, so many students use both.
