Varsity Tutors Reviews

My oldest son started using Varsity Tutors in 2020 when Covid hit and they shut down the school his Kindergarten year. I didn't want him to fall behind as we had decided to go to virtual school for 1st and 2nd grade to avoid getting sick. We found a tutor who he absolutely adored through Varsity Tutors and continued with for 3 years.

I recently had the pleasure of utilizing Varsity Tutors for my 7th and 9th graders' academic needs, and I am extremely impressed with the results. Varsity Tutors offers an exceptional platform that delivers a seamless experience in terms of scheduling, access to a vast pool of tutors, and flexible hours that accommodate my children's busy schedules. One of the standout features of Varsity Tutors is the ease of scheduling. As a busy parent, I appreciate how effortless it is to find suitable tutoring sessions that align with my children's study time. The platform's user-friendly interface and intuitive booking system make it a breeze to secure sessions with the right tutors.

I have tried many tutors before and have not had much success. Both my Kids have been with Varsity Tutors for a Month and it has been a wonderful experience for my kids. They truly enjoyed their lessons with their tutors, their tutors are very thorough with them and their needs. The customized approach to their learning needs has been really helpful as I have never known what exactly was wrong with their reading and math challenges. The tutor will work on their strength but address their challenges each session. The review notes after each session are very thought out and keep the communication open with us the parents. I like the fact with always have a way to communicate with the tutors at all times to be flexible for any scheduled change from week to week. My kids never really enjoyed tutoring in the past, but look forward to their tutoring session every weekend and has surprised both my wife and me. Thank you.

My entire experience thus far with this company has been truly wonderful. I’m using Varsity Tutors to learn German in order to reach a fluency level acceptable to get into a German graduate program. The first person I talked to didn’t pressure me at all and made sure to give me all the information I could need and answered all my questions confidently and knowledgeably. I've had several sessions with my tutor now and she’s been awesome by demonstrating patience with me when I’m confused, utilizing time effectively since I got the package that has only one meeting a week, and truly understanding my long-term goals and creating a plan to make sure I achieve them! What I also like about the company is that if I didn’t like my tutor, I could easily request a new one, and do so until I find someone I click with! This company is all encompassing and knows what they’re doing! They’re worth it

My child was told in second grade that she will fail 3rd grade, by her teacher several times. This broke my heart but also made her and I determined to prove him wrong! When I initially called in I was in tears, the agent was very patient and consoling. We signed my daughter up for Math and English tutoring. She was struggling with reading which affected her math. Her tutor Bianca is amazing! She always asks about my daughter's day, it’s as if they are best friends. She has the most patience with her but also can read how my daughter is feeling throughout the class and makes adjustments when needed.

We set up for a tutor in finite mathematics. Varsity Tutors could not provide someone who knew the material specifically for this class. We canceled immediately after the first session yet they are still trying to charge a full month. I would look elsewhere.

Didn’t think it was a scam, but total scam. Signed my son up for calculus tutoring, expensive, but fit your kid, of course. After a few sessions, it wasn’t working, no connection. I called, they said I had to pay for another 6 months, then they would let me out, even though we weren’t going to use it. They never stopped billing even after 6 months. I called again, said they would back me down to $99/month, for 3 more months, then stop billing me. After 3 more months, still billing me! Called again 8/14/23, again the said I wouldn’t be billed on 8/27, but I was billed, again! Called again today, 9/19/23, talked to Taren, again, on 4th long call, they still are trying to sell me more, trying to explain I should keep paying. Scam! I said, "If you can’t tell me I won’t be billed charged again, I’m starting to tell other parents this is all a scam." Taren then tried to sell me more! Again! So I’m writing this review. Varsity Tutors is a scam that will never stop charging you!

Excellent!! We are very happy with Varsity Tutors. My stepdaughter and grandson are both working with Varsity Tutors. Both of their scores have improved dramatically since they started with the tutoring. We never anticipated it would be so helpful, so quickly. The communication and feedback are great. We receive weekly updates and can also review the tutoring session on the videos they provide. Students can watch the tutoring session after it is over for review also.

Varsity Tutors has been a crucial tool in helping me study for my FTCE exams. I was placed with a tutor who has been such a blessing to me! It seems to me that varsity tutors hires well qualified tutors that are knowledgeable, encouraging and accommodating. She gives me practice tests, test taking skills, and even breaks down the way the test is set up. I feel so much more prepared and less overwhelmed for test day! Anytime I call customer service the staff at varsity tutors are kind and helpful. So far my experience has been wonderful and well worth the cost!

DO NOT USE VARSITY. If I could give less than one star, I would. We signed up three weeks ago because my stepdaughter needs help in 6th grade math and language arts. After 3 weeks, we still have not had a successful tutoring session and I have had to spend almost 8 hours on the phone trying to get help. At first, they kept matching her with tutors who were trying to schedule sessions outside of her availability - which was in her profile. We had to do the work of calling and complaining each time we matched with a tutor and they scheduled an incorrect session. For example, she is supposed to have tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We got session requests for Saturday at 7pm. Wtf?
