Varsity Tutors Reviews

I have had a great experience with Varsity Tutors. I had only one tutor that flaked on me when I was in need and varsity tutors rescued me in the nick of time and set me up with someone else right away. When I explained to them what happened and my deadline for my assignment was due the next day sweet relief I got the help I needed and my assignment was turned in on time. I have used them for many of my college level science classes so I can not speak to other types of classes but I'm sure they are just as good. If a tutor you have doesn't work out for you just call them and they will give you a replacement for tutoring. Just let them know so they can work with you to remedy any problem.

Date: August 8, 2024. Time: 2:00 PM. To Whom It May Concern, My name is Timfreit **, and I am proud to call Selma, Alabama, my hometown. As a 100% disabled ** veteran with a wonderful wife and two children still in high school, I have always prioritized the well-being of my family. Recently, I discovered an incredible opportunity that could change our lives: a six-figure salary job, contingent upon me passing the Engineering Fundamentals exam. This is a dream I have never thought possible, and it would enable me to provide for my family in ways I have only imagined.

I have been very happy with the tutors my daughter has had so far. We’ve had two different ones since we started with Varsity. They are always very knowledgeable, helpful and engaging with my ASD/ADHD 11 year old child. The only thing I would add for them to pay closer attention to is the tech side of the video chats. We’ve had a few situations where we couldn’t connect or had to get tech services to get involved. In all instances, Varsity has accommodated us by not deducting hours for the missed sessions, which I appreciate and value. I just hope that they will iron this out better for the students and parents who make the time to be on time and then just wait, or have trouble getting connected. The sessions are valuable and it would make this service have 5 stars instead of 4! Please work on this to help these children who don’t have much attention span as it is. Thank you for providing service across the country at our availability.

We’ve had a great experience with Varsity. I was recommended to check them out by a friend (kindergarten teacher) who has used varsity for a couple years. From when I filled out an inquiry to when we got assigned a tutor was a breeze. Follow up by varsity was really great and not overly pushy. If this review was just for our tutor, Donna B, this would be a 10 star review. Donna is the perfect balance of someone who is encouraging, while also being strict enough to produce results.

My daughter is a college Freshmen working towards a Biology Major. She was struggling with First year Chemistry and had failed several quizzes and tests leading up to our enrolling her in Varsity Tutors. After just 2 sessions, she passed her Chemistry test with 92%! Unfortunately, her first tutor quit working with the company and there was some delay assigning her a new tutor. The 2nd tutor was not very responsive and after a few sessions we weren't sure it was working out. We contacted Varsity Tutors and they made it right offering us free sessions. This 3rd tutor is wonderful! My daughter just got her end of semester grades back and she passed Chemistry! As in any position, it's the tutor themselves that will make all the difference. All 3 tutors were involved in advanced academics and highly qualified to tutor but only the first and now third (present) tutor were a good match. I'm so thankful for the help she received in Chemistry.

Our 7 year of has been struggling to read. In addition to the school’s supplemental reading program, and 3 months of weekly sessions from Institute of Learning Development, nothing seemed to be working. Varsity tutor’s unique 1:1 tutoring with the interactive platform helps keep our daughter engaged better than any other strategy tried so far. The reception/intake staff did a great job helping identify a good match for our daughter. Saturday mornings work best for our family so it’s nice to have an option that fits our schedule and we don’t have to leave the comfort of our home. We have no intentions of leaving Varsity Tutors and are so grateful to have found them!

Love, love, love Varsity Tutors! Having everything on the app is so helpful. The tutors are kind and knowledgeable. Plus it’s really a great value for what you’re paying. You’re not only getting your hours for tutoring, but there’s also other resources that you can check out anytime like group tutoring. And they record your session so you can go back and go over what you did during your session. Can’t recommend it enough!

Customer service called me and acknowledged their mistake. I have received a refund for all the months of unwanted subscriptions. I think they should send monthly or quarterly statements so customers are aware of what they are being charged. I'm happy I got my money back.

My wife signed our daughter up for a math tutor with Varsity Tutors. Our understanding was this was for 2 sessions a week for 4 weeks for a total cost of $300. Nov.8 was supposedly the last tutor session of which there was 5 hours remaining. Saturday, Nov. 9 Varsity Tutors withdrew $300 from our account which left us with a $2 balance. We live in central GA. In the past month we have had a devastating hurricane and severe flooding this previous week which has shut down parts of our roads and bridges. When my daughter called to inquire about the charge the representative was aggressive and pushy, refusing to discuss a refund or even why we were billed to begin with, and to top it of was trying to sell more tutoring.

We are new to Varsity Tutors. My son loves it. His tutor seems to be very nice, patient, and helpful. She simplified Algebra 1 so he can understand it. We haven't tried any of the other features. I like that I pay month-to-month instead of having to sign contracts and large down payments.
