Varsity Tutors Reviews

I needed help to pass the Series 65 exam. I was self taught and had failed the exam 2x before I hired Varsity Tutors. My teacher for my class was EXCELLENT, I got a syllabus and felt like I was back in University. My Tutor was strategy oriented and taught me how to attack the exam. I passed the third time around with VT! Money back guarantee as well! The absolute best.

I decided to try Varsity Tutors after self studying for the MCAT for a few months and I'm so glad I did! My tutor was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the topics I needed help in. He was very patient and broke down the concepts into smaller chunks of information that made it easier to comprehend. I sent him my questions that I wanted to review the next tutoring session ahead of time and he was always on time and prepared for our sessions. 10/10 would recommend!

My son was struggling with reading and writing, and after some testing, we discovered he has dyslexia. That’s when we decided to start a program with Varsity Tutors. It’s expensive—more than we can really afford—but we don’t regret a single sacrifice. The progress my son has made is incredible. He’s improving so quickly and, more importantly, gaining confidence in himself with every step. Seeing him believe in his own abilities has been life-changing for him and for our family. Choosing Varsity Tutors was a major turning point, not just in his education but in his life. We’re so grateful for the difference it’s making. Thank you!

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!

Be aware! They will scam you and start charging your card monthly of $349. I signed up for 4 hours of tutoring and after my card was charged every month. They will pressure you with sale and will not explain that they will be charging every month.

I was unhappy with the first two tutors. We had several days of no tutorials. Each time they looked for a new tutor. I made them aware that much older, slow speaking and teaching would not work but they continued to schedule that way. They renewed my subscription $639 and told me I had 5 unused hours that could not be carried over. I am now having that issue escalated and stuck paying for another month that I do not want. I'm told my subscription ended yesterday (Sunday). Not easy to navigate to the best tutor, even though I was very clear when registering.

It's a company of scam artists. My husband booked four classes with Varisity tutors back in February. When he booked them he told the worker on call he wanted to take four classes and that's it. He would book more afterwards by himself if he needed it. Not ONCE did the worker on the phone mention it was a subscription. Not once!!! We only happened to notice that they were still charging us by chance months later and immediately cancelled (horrible customer support that you need to CALL to cancel by the way, that needs to be a click on your website!). They refuse to give us our money back and told us it's our fault for not realising it's a subscription WHEN THEY NEVER MENTIONED IT WAS ONE! Turns out they also pay their tutors pennies compared to what they charge students for lessons. I will advise everybody I know to stay far away from this website.

SCAMMERS!! Charged for 3 months without my permission and no refunds. Booked 8 classes for my kid (I specifically mentioned I don't want more classes). I was never once told that this is a monthly subscription and I was supposed to call them to cancel. They didn't bother to schedule any classes over 3 months but charged $649 every single month, even though not a single class was scheduled with my kid. When I called the billing department why i was being charged their response was sorry we cant refund, Total ripoff, they have no value for their customer's money or time, Varsity Tutors do better, cheating your customers in the name of education is the worst thing. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! SCAMMERS!!!!

Deceiving sales tactics is what this company is all about. I was told to sign for a limited-hour one time service while they get you in an auto renewable membership program. When I called to cancel and refund my money, they say that their policy is "no refunds", they don't provide any customer service and leave you to get charge on your credit card on future services that customer did not sign for nor are going to use.
