Varsity Tutors Reviews

Be aware -- the tutoring packages you purchase prior to meeting any tutors are NON REFUNDABLE even if you try one session and it just doesn't seem to be a fit for your child. They will cancel your "membership" if you request -- but refuse a refund of unused sessions. Do not purchase a package until you know it will work for your student as you will not get a refund.

Wow what a scam. I had a tutor who rescheduled or cancel each session I booked. Eventually I requested a new tutor and got reassigned but would not be able to complete my hours before the new payment schedule. I spent all day on the phone to get my hours reinstated, only for the platform to cancel my tutoring and lose my hours completely. I got 50% of the service I paid for. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Target Test Prep, Princeton Review, Manhattan Prep are better resources.

I signed my granddaughter (I have custody) up at the beginning of May. I had two sessions all month. I asked for feedback after the first session, but what I got was vague. In the second session, she was sick. When we proceeded with the makeup session, technical difficulties arose. The tutor said she didn't know what to do and said we could meet next week. The following week, my granddaughter had her session. Again, vague updates. My granddaughter requested the tutoring, but tonight she cried and said she was not comfortable, so I called to cancel. At this point, I was not happy with the service. I was told it was fine. She would be cancelled.

Extremely Disappointed – Misleading Charges and No Accountability. I’m incredibly dismayed by my experience with Varsity Tutors. I was charged for 14 hours of tutoring but only used 7 hours total. Despite purchasing a 4-hour package upfront, I was inexplicably charged in the same billing period for an additional 2 hours—even though I had only taken 2 hours of sessions that month. This overbilling occurred two months in a row, and despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, no refund or credit has been provided.

My experience with the actual tutors has been excellent! The Varsity admin side is disorganized. I was charged after cancelling, the tutor-matching algorithm often requires cycling through 3–5 tutors before finding the right fit and there’s a clear breakdown in communication between departments. I would not recommend based on the administrative experience.

Please be careful if you use Varsity Tutors learning program. They are NOT transparent. They sign you up for a renewal subscription. We canceled with our tutor and was then billed an additional month. When we called, we were told by a rude woman that she is a "senior" such and such title and there's no way for a refund since we should have canceled yesterday. Scam in my opinion.

I wanted to take language lessons for a trip later this year. I was up front that I was looking to explore options in tutoring while taking Varsity for the first month. At the end of that time, I found an option that was better suited for my needs and looked to cancel my subscription. The cancellation was fairly straightforward, but I saw that I was pre-billed for an additional month of time and requested a refund for this which they refused. They cited their terms and conditions as support. Pre-billing for this re-fusing a reasonable refund request and hiding the support for it in the terms and conditions is unethical. Bare minimum a policy like this should be far better communicated than what it was in my experience.

I changed my 1 star to a 4 star because Varsity Tutors did reach out to me and offered a full refund, which restored my faith in them. The client experience team member that reached out to us was very kind and courteous. When my daughter needs more services, we may even engage with them again. My only suggestion is to ask lots of questions up front in order to thoroughly understand all that they have to offer in between each of your private lessons.

Updated on 05/03/2025: We seem to have come to an impasse. While they have offered to refund me money for hours they did not notify me that I went over, they have offered no resolution for there being no study material, etc. for their students that are studying for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. They gave me documents to sign for the refund that comes with the stipulation that I amend (give five stars) or remove my reviews but I will not sign until the underlying issue of no study materials being present on Varsity Tutors’ site gets resolved.

Varsity Tutors has been essential in helping achieve my goals. I passed the PMP on the first try after 2 months of tutoring with the most knowledgeable tutor. They opened my eyes to the process of the PMP test and what will help me long-term in my career. Thank you Varsity Tutors!

If I could give zero stars, I would. After several months with the company of four-day-a-week tutoring sessions, I learned my son's membership was cancelled on a Sat through an email at 4:30 pm on Sat or so. I immediately called and spoke to someone around 4:35 pm EST. Gave them a new cc and let them know around 2 am I got a charge from that cc that I didn't authorize, and when I contacted the credit card account immediately at 2am today, they had to cancel the card. Today was the 29th and I wasn't due to be charged for the monthly tutoring again until the 11th.

Resolved.

I relied on Varsity Tutors for years, and the service was excellent—until they introduced a membership model. I adapted, but problems escalated when my oldest son graduated and my younger son faced health challenges. I was assured we could pause tutoring and resume with a flexible monthly plan—no long-term commitment and the ability to cancel anytime.

First of all this service is really expensive and there is no guarantee they will actually help improve your grade. I signed up and got a tutor for organic chemistry using this service. My tutor not only did not help me get a better grade on my next exam he was going over our scheduled hour time and I was getting charged on my credit card for that extra time without even knowing. My card was automatically charged for another months service and when I tried to cancel they wouldn't give me my money back. I told them since I didn’t do better on my exam using their tutor I was having to drop my class then retake it again the next semester.

Never again. Spent a small fortune. The tutor was always yawning and saying, "Ummm." But we gave him the benefit of the doubt. My kid did practice test and tons of reviews… My kid didn’t even score what he needed to get the 75% on the Florida Bright scholarship. So much for great results.

They will happily take your money without providing the service they advertise. Many of their tutors are located in India or the East Coast, which makes scheduling very challenging resulting in not being able to schedule the sessions you are paying for. The tutors sometimes do not confirm the session until the very last minute or just ignore it instead of rejecting it so you can find another time/tutor. Their online scheduling system is useless, the scheduling support, which is via text message is also useless. They send you to figure out schedules directly with your tutor, but the tutors and the schedulers do not communicate, so when one might say your session is confirmed, the other says the opposite.

I can’t say enough great things about Varsity Tutors! They are not only an amazing platform for learning but also an incredibly understanding and supportive company. When unforeseen circumstances arose, they went above and beyond to help me by providing a refund, which I truly appreciated.

Their team is always quick to respond, attentive to your needs, and flexible with scheduling. They genuinely care about their clients and tutors, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued. Working with them has been such a positive experience, and it’s clear they prioritize creating an environment where both learning and teaching thrive. Highly recommend Varsity Tutors for anyone looking for a top-notch tutoring experience!

The worst experience with a tutoring organization. Please do not use Varsity Tutors. First, they called me, because I went to their website made an account but didn't purchase anything. I was falsely led to believe that they could find me help. It took almost over a month to get help, I was still being charged. They credited me "free tutoring sessions", which were useless. Two of the customer service representatives said they would call me back, they never did. One representative, said that he would stop the charges on my credit card, he lied and didn't follow through with what he had promised. I was charged 318.00 CAD. I asked for a refund, as I had no use for the service, and felt lied to. I received $224.00 CAD of my money back (for a service I did not use). If you do use Varsity Tutors, get everything in writing, and never trust what a customer service representative tells you.

We had an awful experience. Signed up and was not able to utilize the full 8 hours in the subscription. Hours do not roll over which was not explained. Then an automatic charge the next month even though the previous month had not been utilized. Initial experience tutor spent one hour on a first year calculus problem. Spent a lot of time on hold trying to cancel. No confirmation. Their SMS team responds. Expensive and very inflexible. No refunds and poorly skilled tutors. Will never use again. Just awful.

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.

Thank you for responding and resolving problems, taking care of your customers is a great👍

The organization reached out to me and corrected the situation by refunding me the overcharges.

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!

I recently sought help for SAT prep and was disappointed with the experience provided by Varsity Tutors. Initially, they offered a month-to-month subscription with the option to cancel if we weren't satisfied. However, they failed to mention that it was an auto-billing subscription buried in the fine print of the tutoring agreement. To make matters worse, there was no information on their website's account page about when we would be billed again. To add to the frustration, when I mentioned that I only needed a few lessons on the initial call, Varsity Tutors offered a package, which I accepted. However, they did not disclose that this package would automatically enroll me in their subscription service.

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!

It's like a gym membership, they don't let you out. They don't let you cancel online and they don't answer the phone. I signed up for my son, they started scheduling sessions without asking me, they started charging before I had accepted any sessions. It's a scam.

I canceled Varsity Tutors Online Services via telephone and they are refusing to acknowledge this and continue to bill my credit card monthly. I have requested a refund for the 2 months that I was wrongly charged and they have refused to reimburse me.

The tutoring was fine but it was a nightmare to cancel the membership. You have to call a number where you are on hold for 20 minutes plus. And the only way to sign-up is for a renewing membership. So if you don't call and cancel it will auto-renew. It's obviously the case that Varsity Tutors wants to make it as difficult as possible to cancel and thereby have the membership roll forward and generate unearned revenue for themselves. Very bad faith and bad behavior towards your customers!

We tried for three weeks to get a consistent tutor for our daughter. We only needed twice a week from 3:30pm to 4:30pm EST. Two different people gave us credits because of them dropping the ball. We are now trying to get our money back after being charged when we had multiple free sessions. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! FIND A LOCAL TUTOR.

Updated on 12/06/2024: Resolved.

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.

I was charged for 8hrs classes, but they did not complete the tutoring hours, and for whatever classes happened, after every 1 or 2 classes (each class of 30min) I got new tutor for my child. I complained multiple times, but I got only promises from management, but no action. No one cares at all. I wasted my non-refundable money, $480. Never coming back here.

I enjoy the different ways to learn Spanish with this service. My tutor is great, and I also appreciate the AI chatbot since it allows me to ask anything. This platform offers more real-world learning compared to just using what I have been using which is Duolingo. I'm starting to feel more confident in my comprehension of the language, which is exciting because I've always wanted to learn Spanish!

As an update to my post, the company has called me back and has issued a refund of the extra month that was charged. I appreciate their having rectified the issue.

Updated on 10/21/2024: I was able to get in contact with a representative on the customer service team and they accepted my refund request. Thank you for understanding and accepting my situation.

Do not use this service!!! Varsity Tutors is the worst. The tutor fell asleep on two (2) sessions with my daughter. The replacement tutor was distracted and unfocused. When it comes to cancelling the service, good luck. They do everything in their power to not cancel and continue to charge you. Save you and your family aggravation. Do not use this service.

Varsity Tutors did reach out privately after and was able to assist. The woman I spoke with was very helpful and was able to refund my money to me, I greatly appreciate the follow up. I revoke what I initially said, the customer service team is great. The tutor I did use for statistics was helpful and a great teacher. Just remember to cancel the account. :)

They are managing with well trained teachers and good to have one to one teacher, we see good progress in first month with 8 classes, hope you will be in good shape in next two to three months. Let’s wait for next two to three months and then will provide feedback again if needed. Hoping they will do best and let see. Thank you VarsityTutors..

Varsity Tutors checked on me regularly to see how the lessons were going. They helped me switch tutors so that I could take lessons in time increments that worked best with my schedule. They are very available via chat or phone call and are ready to answer questions about using the lesson platform. There are also notes after every lesson that you can download to reference later. They have very high quality customer service!

Varsity tutors has been a great ACT prep for our son. He has always been a great student with 4.0 or higher gpa but didn’t get the ACT score that we hoped for after taking the test. We knew we had to do something to help him learn some of the tricks to taking the test. He went up 4 points on his test score after 6 tutoring sessions. He takes the test again at the end of this month. I’m excited to see if his score will go again.

"I’ve had an amazing experience with Varsity Tutors! The platform makes it easy to connect with highly qualified tutors in any subject. I’ve been particularly impressed with the personalized learning approach. The tutors quickly assess your needs and adjust lessons to match your pace, ensuring you fully understand the material. Whether you need help with complex topics or just want to reinforce your skills, Varsity Tutors is reliable and convenient. Their live learning platform and flexible scheduling options make it easy to fit tutoring sessions into my busy life. Highly recommend!"

I was contacted by a representative of the company. I explained what our experience had been and they have refunded the money that I was overcharged.

I have had a terrible experience with Varsity Tutors. Spending approximately 5000 dollars with no results. I would not recommend using Varsity Tutors Online services. Billing for memberships is unclear and apparently automatically renews. Customers service is pleasant but gives misinformation and provided me no results to my issue. This service is a rip off - stay away. Unhappy customer.

After writing our initial review, Varsity Tutors contacted us to rectify the situation, which should’ve been done when we initially contacted the customer care team. The treatment we received from Crystal was not warranted and it should not had come to this but we are grateful that Varsity Tutors refunded us as they should have from the beginning. They then asked us to update our review, so here it is upon their request after confirming receipt of our refund.

My daughter used this company for a summer course at Texas Tech this year (2024). We had a couple hiccups on the billing of the course. However after reaching out to Varsity Tutors they fixed the issue and made everything right!

My tutor is extremely knowledgeable on subjects presented while being very patient with my learning. While learning a great subject, you are able to create a strong relationship with your tutor, this way they learn your learning styles and any particular forms that may advance your learning at a faster pace. Overall a great learning platform that helps learning across all different styles of learning and subjects.

Highly recommended! My kids are so happy with Varsity Tutor. Thanks, they are very sweet and supportive. Their teacher was patient and professional. They have a free group session including. Best tutoring ever! I like it too. Absolutely loved and referred my friends and neighbors. The customer service was amazing too.

I initially attempted to resolve my issue two different times before writing a review for VT. Once I submitted my review their team reached out to help. The issue was resolved quickly & they have refunded my dad for the 4 months they erroneously charged. Wish it could have been resolved with the first call. The tutoring helped my niece and she passed her course.

We have been working with Ajay N for almost a year and he has helped my 11-year-old tremendously in reading and math! He is smart, patient, and is easily able to engage with my daughter. We are incredibly grateful for Ajay and Varsity Tutors! I would highly recommend their services, especially Ajay as a tutor!

Varsity Tutors has been excellent to work with. My son failed his Calculus II class and had to take a summer course. With Ruben's help, he passed with an A- and I could not be happier. We will continue to work with Varsity Tutors through his junior year of college and Calculus III to keep on track.

Always available any time my kids need help with a subject, with prices that are competitive with in person tutors. Highly skilled instructors, Great Service!! They have been the difference in my kids' excelling in challenging classes. I would strongly recommend this service to those who want quality instructors who work with you on a flexible schedule. Great for all subjects.

I was initially concerned about trying online tutoring for my 7-year-old, but Varsity Tutors has exceeded my expectations. The tutor is amazing at keeping my child engaged throughout the sessions, which I know can be a challenge at this age. After each session, I receive detailed reviews of what was covered and how my child is progressing. The best part is seeing the wonderful progress my child has made in such a short time. I’m so impressed that I’ve already recommended Varsity Tutors to my friends. Highly recommend!

My tutor has given me a great platform to further my learning of the Korean language. I would say with most things, you get out what you put in. And these tutors will personalize your program to your goals and needs. I came in with a little prior knowledge, and we flew through the beginner stuff and got cracking on what I really wanted to work on. My tutor understood exactly what I wanted to work on and started on it immediately. Everyone’s experience with learning is different, so I recommend being picky with your tutor until you are truly happy with their teaching style. I am very happy with my tutor, her knowledge, and the learning platform itself. Very happy with my experience so far.

I had the most wonderful experience with Varsity Tutors. I was studying for my medical boards. I was floating right around the pass/fail mark and wanted some extra support to walk in the exam confidently. My score went up over 100 points which is amazing. I had 1 on 1 sessions, a personalised study plan, and all kinds of resources that were all essential to my success. I am happy to report that I very easily passed the exam. I would recommend this experience to anyone and it was well worth all of the money!

I got tutoring for my US history regents and it was okay but sometimes the tutor doesn't understand the topic and I have to teach it to them myself. My tutors usually improvise their lessons every time I meet them, however tutors are friendly and kind. I did pass my regents but I don't think the tutors helped with much since they don't always understand the topic.

Great company! Always able to connect with a tutor and I love that I can send them the materials to help guide the sessions. All tutors have been A+ so far. I also love how I can schedule the tutoring as needed, we schedule them before tests for a solid review.

Overall, Varsity Tutors has been outstanding. My son and daughter have learned a lot, and they love their tutors. I plan to continue to them with Varsity Tutors throughout high school and test prep, as well as some of the extra curriculum classes. Have some small issues with customer service, but nothing that can't be overcome.

Very knowledgeable instructors. I would highly recommend. The teachers are very nice and I find it easy to understand what the instructors are trying to tell me. I would recommend this service, no matter what you're trying to get educated in. Yoga can be a difficult subject to master. Luckily for me, the wonderful people at Varsity Tutors have made it abundantly easy to become competent. What a great service!

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.

***First, all you people studying for NBCOT (COTA/OTR) DO NOT COME HERE. Just stick with the NBCOT Study Pack and Therapy Ed material. Both of them are like at least half the price compared to this rip-off scam of a company.*** I tried tutoring through here because of their high pass guarantee, but it’s just been a whole headache working with this company from day one.

No matter what happens do not give them your phone number. I called them for information on a drawing/art instructor for my son. Totally incompetent on the phone, couldn't figure out if they had someone or not and after 15 minutes of fumbling on the phone I just ended the call politely and hung up. Now comes the harassment. They call our house every single day throughout the day leaving messages, we won't even answer the phone anymore when we see them calling. Yes, we asked them to remove our number but apparently that is outside their skill set, perhaps they should hire a tutor on phone etiquette and customer service.

Updated on 08/07/2024: Varsity Tutors has refunded a month's bill.

I am very pleased with the efficiency, professionalism and individual care offered through their language learning programs. My tutor is just excellent and I am also very impressed with the speed and specific attention received from the Varsity help desk /Customer Support people. Unlike other places, you can actually talk to a real life human being (of course, after jumping through a couple of, but not too many, hoops)...

I decided to try this out for a month to see if it would be a good resource to help me learn Korean. Customer service was so kind and helpful to me, and I was matched with a tutor that is experienced, educated, and knowledgeable about her field. As long as I continue to receive the help that I've gotten so far, I'm sure that my experience will remain positive in the future as well.

I looked into Varsity Tutors as I needed help tutoring to reach my professional designation. The sales process was great, and the salesperson answered all of my questions and calmed any fears I had. It was a costly investment, over $4000 so I had many questions about refunds, payments, and the quality of the content. All were answered to my satisfaction and I was promised a refund if I didn't like anything. Unfortunately the content promised was NOT suitable at all and the salesperson flat out lied about many things. They refused to refund my payment, so I'm out $4000. I would avoid this company at all costs, personally. Sharing in case this helps someone else!

A resolution was reached! A kind representative offered to refund our unused funds and that is all I ever wanted, which was promised. Some of their reps need better training to not over-promise or give false information when signing people up. The issues I had are irrelevant to the tutoring which were helpful to my daughter. Thank you VT for resolving the issue and doing the right thing.

Before Varsity Tutors I was genuinely afraid of math and felt it was the one subject I would never understand. Although my class was accelerated, within a month my tutor allowed me to understand the basis of calculus and could answer any question I asked and if they couldn’t, they would look into and get back to me in a message after the session. They will always try and help you succeed! Genuinely grateful I found this learning platform.

I used their services and they paired me with 4 tutors. 1 never showed up, 1 didn’t know anything about the subject, and then 2 quit before I even had a tutoring session. The phone support people wrote down my availability incorrectly, and guaranteed a match who was knowledgeable in my subject and in ADHD. The whole process took nearly a month, so they wasted any time I had to find another service before my exam and then they only refunded HALF!! I even reached out to clarify, again, that I was using student disability grant and if I didn’t have any tutoring sessions I had to return ALL of the funds. Like, what am I going to say to my student loans? Sorry I can only give you half of the money back because this company, who didn’t provide me with any sessions, stole the other half? AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

We had excellent experience of finding the perfect tutors for my son! I have been looking for good math tutor since last year for my middle school son, we have tried couple tutors in other tutor location, but they were not the tutor which fits my son’s needs. I was about losing hope… Luckily this summer I tried again to look for tutor from Varsity Tutors, we finally got the perfect match with math tutor Han Chun **!, PhD in math and physics! We have been having his tutor session in a daily basis for the past month. Varsity customer service is amazing, it’s very easy to reach out customer support team by texting or calling them. I would strongly recommend varsity tutors to anyone who needs help academically!

They were able to refund the amount requested.

Our experience with Varsity Tutors has been excellent. The tutors are wonderful with my son and seem to be very knowledgeable of the subject matter. The program is very responsive with any issues as well. We had an issue with a language barrier, the tutor was very nice, just difficult to understand. Varsity Tutors completely understood and replaced the tutor immediately. My son is very happy with the replacement.

My child absolutely loves Varsity Tutors! He has loved both of the tutors he worked with. I love the fact that you can ask them to include something, and they will add it to their curriculum. I was worried that my child will get left behind in school as he just recently tested out of special education while working with Varsity. I no longer have that fear and will try to continue with them as much as possible to keep him as a head of the game as I can. I cannot recommend them enough. They are a lifesaver and have helped ease all of my fears after having a special needs child.

I was very excited with Tutoring. It helps me so much to provide this for my grandson. I could not help him with his homework, thank God for Tutoring. It was the best thing and he enjoys it and looks forward to Tutoring. Thank you thank you so much thank you Miss Maria **. We really really appreciate her for all her work that she did to teach my grandson. Thank you, Miss Maria.

Varsity Tutors is a great place to learn and get tutoring. There are a plethora of resources on the website. They also have practice assessments, videos, exercises, a lot of free boot camps, and instant tutoring when needed too! I would highly recommend joining especially you are still in school.

I purchased the plan of 8hrs for one month. First off, I did not get my tutor till 11 days after purchasing. My tutor dropped out one week on me and was always complaining about internet issues. After that, I called to get a new tutor. They told me be they would call me by a certain day, never did. Lastly, my current tutor, Deepak S, has no regard for the time of the student and only cares about his own time. This is the worst company for tutors. They scam people and do not deserve a single penny. I would never recommend to anyone.

Varsity tutoring is helping my grandson keep up with math. I also enjoy the programs that’s included for him in other subjects. Being online helps because he doesn’t have to leave the house. It saves us money on gas. His tutor understands when he’s having trouble focusing. She’s patient and thorough.

Although it took me 2 days to make several calls, the result is good now. One lady called me and helped to solve the problem. The lady talked to me today was very patient and nice, and make a very clear and good solution. Be honest, their tutors are good, the tutor did help my daughter improving her math and reading, so I would like to leave the review again. In the meanwhile, hopefully they can improve their customer service.

Varsity Tutors is amazing. My son has been diagnosed ADHD and has other significant medical issues that have delayed learning. They have matched my child with a tutor that helps with school and meets his needs in learning. His school scores have shown improved results. They have specialized teachers that can help with all sorts of children.

Varsity take money from your credit card every month without your permission. They don't tell me everything about it at the very beginning. When they charge you, they don't refund it. Never choose them.

My daughter was struggling in high school chemistry. Her tutor, Connor, was able to explain it on her level. He has patience, gives many examples, and often checks to make sure she is understanding. I have been an educator for over 20 years and was impressed with the tutor's level of education and professional experience.

My tutor helped me through the application, helped me study, and I ended up passing the exam with flying colors. He was not only an expert but a quality person on top of that. Finding top notch people for very specific subjects seems like a heavy lift but they nailed it.

After canceling the service they continued to charge me a total of $3900. After the first 2 sessions we realized it wasn't a fit for our child. We called and canceled and were told they would give us some free bonus sessions if we wanted to try again. I said thank you, but please cancel the subscription. Fast forward to today where I realize they continued to charge me. They now say they canceled and it looks like they are not readily giving the money back, even though we had zero usage and had called to cancel. No receipts were sent that would alert me to the ongoing charges.

My tutor was really helpful and made me feel much more confident in my knowledge about the subject. They helped raise my grade up by over one letter and really helped me succeed in the course. I would definitely consider using Varsity Tutors again. I would highly recommend to any looking for assistance in any course.

I scheduled 2 sessions with their tutor. Both times he flaked. Which is frustrating in and of itself. The first time he just didn't show at all. The second time he showed for 2 minutes. I uploaded my project (which he did not read ahead of time like I was told he would) and saw him on his phone. Then he took his camera off and left the session. Not responding to my messages. Then I went to get a refund (I signed up 4 days ago and had not used any of their services due to lack of professionalism and helpfulness. I get told I cannot have a refund because the charges already occurred.

Oliver has been a very pleasant and knowledgeable Tutor. He is prompt and patient. Platform is easy to navigate. I have had 4 sessions so far and I am making substantial progress. I look forward to working with Oliver again. I hope to be conversationally fluent within the next 6 months at least.

My tutor is wonderful! He’s an amazing teacher, very easy to understand and makes each session fun. I am learning so much from him and always look forward to our sessions. He truly knows how to teach math and makes things really enjoyable. I booked him for next year already! Customer service at Varsify Tutor is also wonderful, attentive and responsive. Very easy to contact and always helpful. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors!

We have used Varsity Tutors for years. Most recently, we have had the opportunity to use their tutoring services, which I think is a big reason why my daughter is being promoted to the next grade. She was seriously behind in math and now she is doing much better and she loves not only her classes, but her tutor!

Our family has had a great experience with our Varsity Tutors tutor, Angela. She is a brilliant and committed educator, and we are blessed to have her working with us. She tutors my daughter in math for one hour a week, and my daughter always looks forward to it. Angela makes it fun.

Great business for tutoring of all subject matter. I’m learning Spanish and am having a great time. My instructor is awesome being very patient and kind. She takes time to listen to me, correct my pronunciation, and shows me in writing. It is very easy to set up times for lessons. I have no trouble with being online for my lessons. I also like having my lesson available when I have time to review it.

I have had a great experience with Varsity Tutors! They paired me with somebody who really knows his stuff! I'm taking graduate level courses and have not been disappointed! I also struggle with test anxiety and my paired tutor has helped with that too! The fees are reasonable for the services provided. The website is easy to navigate and their software is very user friendly! I highly recommend varsity tutors, if you are looking for quality help at an affordable price!

I had a fantastic experience with Varsity Tutors. My time in individual tutoring, alongside the interactive classes made my learning comprehensive, efficient, and relatable to learn a second language! The ability to learn in the comfort of your own home makes the experience even more beneficial. My tutor was so easy to work with and made the learning environment more digestible, increasing my motivation and momentum to learn more weekly.

"Varsity Tutors has been a game-changer for my daughter's academic journey. Since starting with them, she's not only gained a deeper understanding of her subjects but her grades have also seen a significant improvement. The personalized attention and tailored approach to learning have truly made a difference. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors to any parent looking to support their child's education."

We love our tutor! She is amazing. It was a little hard to navigate at first on the front end with not much help getting placed as we hoped. The tutor we were placed with has helped my daughter start grade 2 work and promoted her love of reading! We love our tutor.

Our tutor Tiskiyya is great! She interacts really well with my daughter and formed a bond with her on her first session. They even play a game at the end of each session drawing animals and trying to guess each other's. She makes learning fun. I would recommend her for any student but especially for elementary aged.

Excellent organization and support. Our Tutor is outstanding and really helping our grandson to improve and grow. Turtoring sessions are on time and changes are understood and made well in advance. Very happy we have Varsity Tutors in our corner. Look forward to our grandson's continued growth. Thank you.

Hip, hip, Hooray! Varsity Tutors save the day! We absolutely love our Varsity Tutors. My children are now excelling in the subjects they struggled with. My kids' writing and comprehension are now above grade level and no longer fear math. Choosing Varsity Tutors was the best decision for my family. This is the absolute best gift you can give your child academically.

They are horrible. My first and only appt they were almost an hour late. I cancelled due to the issues plus I only had $ for 1 appointment. Now they keep trying to charge my card again. And I am continually getting text messages and emails from this company. I have Repeatedly told them to stop contacting me or I would start contacting the Better Business Bureau and I need to for the harassment of emails and text messages and yet they continue on. They are hard to get canceled. I have fought like hell to get my account canceled. Multiple phone calls to them on my end was apparently canceled yesterday yet. They’ve still tried charging my card today and I have gotten four emails and seven text messages. Do not go with this company. They suck, the Tutor even quit.

I have been learning Spanish with Varsity Tutors since Dec 2023. Although it's hard I do appreciate the Varsity app which is easy to use & the tutor is awesome. I have once a week lessons & I signed up for a year. I will definitely be exploring more subjects in the future.

The process was really easy to follow. Our tutor has been great engaging my son who can be resistant to tutoring. I have seen an increase in his reading skills. I am not a fan of online learning and at first was hesitant, however my mind has been changed. I would recommend Varsity Tutors to anyone.

My tutor consistently demonstrates a commendable commitment to my academic progress. Their clarity in explaining complex concepts and patient guidance during challenging assignments have significantly enhanced my understanding of the subject matter. The tutor's approach goes beyond merely providing answers; instead, they foster a collaborative learning environment, encouraging me to ask questions and actively engage in the material. Their positive and encouraging demeanor creates a supportive atmosphere, making learning more enjoyable and motivating. Overall, the tutor's effectiveness lies in their ability to tailor their teaching style to my individual needs, ensuring a productive and enriching learning experience.

Beware of a very terrible business practice by Varsity Tutors and I’m sure I’m not the only parent in this country who has fallen to their unethical practices. I trusted their friendly agent on the phone call and did not realize when I signed up for 6 months of tutoring they would take it upon themselves to continue to bill for services not rendered. I had asked for a service freeze in October and unbeknownst to me, they continued to bill me for November, December, January, February and March. I had signed up last April. We actually only used 8 hours of tutoring but that’s on me because I knew I had signed up for 6 months of services. But what we utilized was far less as they continued to bill for services not rendered and unfroze when I had asked for a freeze on the monthly tutoring last September.

The tutor was a great fit for my child and was able to accommodate the weekend hours that we needed. It's overwhelming how many extra services there are for the whole family to take advantage of. My eldest is in college, and there are even options for him. We are very pleased with our experience so far.

I was/am very satisfied with the services that Varsity Tutors has provided. My tutor was qualified and knowledgeable in the subject I was needing tutoring in and she helped me understand the subject matter! Although a bit pricey, it was well worth it as my tutor knew what she was talking about. Tutors are also great at accommodating the hours and schedule that’s best for you.

The tutor is very responsive to my needs as an adult learner. I want to learn the nuances of Spanish language for conversation and for work in the medical field. Customer service is very prompt and professional. The website and platform function well and have many resources for learning beyond the tutoring session.

I got this service to help my brother learn English and to catch up in reading and writing. I had tried to help him at home initially by myself and failed. I felt alone in the process. Then I found Varsity Tutors and they helped and are still helping my brother learn English from the start. His tutoring sessions focus on reading and I have seen his self confidence increase with his great tutor Ms. **.

I have been working with my tutor, Owen, for about six months. He has been working with me on English grammar, punctuation, and syntax. Not only have my knowledge and skills improved tremendously, but I was also just accepted into the MFA program I applied to. I've had a great experience with Varsity, and I would highly recommend them.

We have opted ELA for our kid through AZ Ed and we had seen good progress and practice for our kid and we had taken a good and right decision to choose varsity tutors online. Teacher Melisa is good to take out inputs, consider our requests and accommodate accordingly.

Save yourself unnecessary angst by not engaging with Varsity Tutors. This company has no integrity and preys upon parents' willingness to go to any means to assist their students. I would suggest you bypass this company to look for a tutoring firm which offers a trial session before obligating to an ongoing commitment, like LEARNER.COM.

Varsity Tutors has helped my daughter survive AP Calculus, and has also given her the confidence to feel she can get through assignments, quizzes, and tests! Her tutor is patient and helps her better understand the material. We have been very pleased with our experience, and will continue to use Varsity Tutors throughout the remainder of the school year and in the future!

We initially invested in Varsity Tutors for my daughter who is a Junior in High School but then my son who is in 7th grade saw the ease in how she was able to access help and he asked to start using it. It has been wonderful! Both my kids enjoy it which makes it so much easier. They have both had wonderful tutors in several subjects. If any concerns arise customer service is so easy to contact and always so kind and helpful in resolving matters quickly! I highly recommend the program.

I've really been enjoying my weekly 1:1 tutoring sessions in Spanish, and have also taken a helpful group course. It's not the cheapest way to learn, but I've found it worthwhile to have a personal tutor who amends lessons to my needs. I would certainly recommend to anyone serious about learning a new language! The included group courses are also a nice supplement.

My son loves his tutor through Varsity Tutors! She makes it a very fun and engaging experience! They talk, play games and read! He looks forward to meeting with her each week which is half the battle for my son. She seems very knowledgeable in the field. It was just what we were looking for. I have already seen some improvements!

Varsity Tutors are outstanding. My daughter's tutor is extremely helpful, diligent and always looking for ways to help my daughter. Varsity tutors will call me to ask how my daughter is doing, how they can improve and if we're satisfied with our tutor. Varsity tutors offer many ways to learn, either in person or via zoom. They also record your session so you can go back and review. I highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Varsity Tutors. I wasn't sure how my son would do with online tutoring but my son is doing great with his tutor. He has not had any problems they couldn't work through and have had no problems with service. The price is very reasonable compared to most tutoring services.

Varsity Tutors has been wonderful for my son. They are accommodating regarding scheduling and work hard to make a personal connection with each student. The tutors are engaging, knowledgeable and truly want to see each student succeed. I am so thankful we found Varsity Tutors and for all the help they have provided to my child's education.

Tutoring site is really helping us grasp the Spanish language. Tutor is patient and courteous and really is helping advance our ability to speak and understand the language. I don’t believe we would be able to make the progress we are making without using this tutoring. We really like our tutor and enjoy the time spent.

Varsity Tutors greatly helped me understand topics I struggled with! Their tutors are amazing and their site provides lots of useful resources! 100% recommended for people who need assistance in a variety of subjects. Their site provides 24/7 assistance with homework as well as a plethora of practice problems for all subjects throughout school.

Good tutor. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Has already helped my daughter improve her math. He is always on time to the sessions and keeps my daughter engaged. He builds on her strengths while helping her with her weaker areas. He does all of this while not making her feel badly about her mistakes. He turns them into learning opportunities.

I have been using Varsity Tutor to study for the LSAT. I don't doubt my tutor is knowledgeable. He has been accommodating, responsive, and overall a wonderful tutor. He has made tutoring not dreadful and leaves positive and helpful feedback at the end of every session. We work together on my weaknesses and he is patient (which is what I need). I don't feel too nervous to take my test thanks to practice we have been doing.

We went with Varsity Tutors when my daughter was struggling with Math, based on reviews alone. The reviews were right, our tutors have been nothing short of amazing! My daughter is grasping mathematical concepts that she has been struggling with for years. She hated Math because she had the thought process that she just couldn't do it. With the help of her tutor, she now knows that she can! She's excited about Math for the first time ever, and looks forward to each session. I would not hesitate to recommend Varsity tutoring to anyone looking for tutoring for their child!

In May of 2023 I purchased a few hours for finals & they signed me up for a membership that I never signed or agreed to. They have been charging me $579 for 6 months which I never used & didn’t catch right away & only refunded me for 3 months after calling numerous times. I can never talk to a manager. They keep giving me the run around & owe me $1,707. They scammed me. I already made a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I spoke to a customer service rep from Varsity Tutor. I am glad that I called to point out the issue. They resolved it for me and assured me that I would be notified by email when the tutoring hours were going into an overage. I recommend you contact Varsity Tutors if you are unhappy - they helped me and I am sure they can help you too. The person who contacted me was professional and offered solutions. I am happy with how they resolved this issue and I have modified my rating as a result.

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.

Varsity Tutors is great. Scheduling is so easy. Customer service is very responsive. Tutoring can be done from the comfort of your own home on your schedule. We have worked with two different tutors and their style worked well with my son and it really supported his success. I highly recommend!

Varsity Tutors is an amazing place to go for educational advancement! My 6-year-old son struggled with reading and was below grade level by at least 1 grade. Now he is at grade level in many areas! In just a couple of months, he went from knowing 3 sight words to knowing 101! I am really glad I went with Varsity Tutors for my son's educational needs.

Varsity Tutors has been a saving grace for my daughter who is studying in French full time in elementary school as an anglophone. With the challenges faced by the teachers and assistants recently through the pandemic and now with an overbearing workload, it means that my daughter has less one on one assistance. Varsity tutors is an investment in education and assures that my daughter gets an undivided attention and private instruction and ensures that my daughter won’t slip through the cracks as she has very important ministerial exams approaching.

I would highly recommend Varsity Tutors. Their customer service is professional and always eager to assist. They provided my daughter with a very qualified tutor who is able to help her with several challenging classes in an accelerated nursing program. I have only positive things to say about my experience with Varsity Tutoring.

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.

We have had a wonderful experience using Varsity Tutors for my son. My child has dyslexia, and Varsity was able to match us up with a tutor who has experience with this. He does tutoring one night per week virtually. She is engaging with him and really helping fill in the gaps needed. We are grateful!

My issue has been resolved.

Both of my sons have utilized Varsity Tutors with stellar results! My son was having intense anxiety over his organic chemistry class in college. The material was just not getting through. We hired Varsity Tutors and they instantly found him a fantastic tutor! This tutor was able to connect with him and explain the material in a way he could understand, The tutor cut through all of the confusing elements of the course and showed him the most important key points to understand. My son not only passed but went on to excel in Organic Chemistry 2 because of Varsity Tutors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Varsity Tutors found a very good tutor for accounting who was willing to work around my son's college sports training schedule. She helped him not only pass his accounting class but helped him score an 84% on his final exam. He may have not passed the class without her help. My son and I highly recommend Varsity Tutors for college classes, especially freshman who are transitioning to the rigors of college academics.

Varsity Tutors is the best tutoring service I’ve ever used!! They have a plethora of knowledgeable tutors with plenty of experience!! My Japanese tutor has helped me tremendously with my reading, writing and speaking skills in relation to Japanese!! I have even began thinking in the language!! There are a lot of great and flexible schedules to fit anyone’s lifestyle to get the tutoring they need! I will always recommend Varsity Tutors!

Excellent session of one by one with experienced tutor and they have very good organizational skills. I am actually taking my Fundamental Engineering review course with them in civil engineering and I really appreciate how it is organizational. I also like the way they care about their students. With Varsity Tutors you have the assurance to pass your exam.

My daughter was struggling with Geometry starting her sophomore year, but thanks to the tutoring provided by Varsity Tutors she's improved quite a bit and feels more confident working on her homework by herself. I look forward to using this service more often. If anyone has a child struggling with any subject, I highly recommend you take advantage of their service.

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.

Great virtual tutoring. Used for my elementary and middle school kids on school subjects that needed extra attention as well as fun/optional learning like languages and writing for fun. The tutor matching process has also been successful, and each tutor tailored the lessons to the specific characteristic of each kid and depth of knowledge on the subject. Have used them for a few years now and the experience has been great. Highly recommend!

Varsity tutors has been a really great platform for getting my son's grades up. I transferred him to charter school from public school this year and he was struggling with couple of subjects because of change in the curriculum. And tutor Lois and tutor Wanda have been amazing to provide him the learning that he requires.

My daughter started using Varsity Tutors because she was having a really hard time with Algebra 2. Her tutor has really helped her and has made learning fun. I never thought she would ever say that she enjoys learning from him. Thank you so much varsity tutors. Her grades are getting better and she feels much better about herself.

The company reached out to me and offered me a refund. I wish they would have done that when I first reached out to them, but I'm happy with the outcome regardless. I'm updating my review from 1 star to 3.

We have had great experiences with tutors helping our students. The tutors are knowledgeable and so great at explaining the material. We have used more than one tutor and they each have been so wonderful. We are able to meet on our own time and schedule as we are available.

Someone finally refunded my money only after I wrote that review and they have been continuously emailing me since to update my review so they don't look bad. I really appreciate them refunding my money but it was definitely a process and up until I wrote a review giving them 1 star I was treated very poorly on the phone but the attitude changed very quickly after my angry review. If you are having a similar issue it's definitely worth writing the review because they might change their attitude.

So far the course is progressing nicely. The combination of Tutor, online group classes in combination of assignments works for me. The pace is good for learning, comprehension and retention. As with any course of instruction you must devote extra time reviewing lessons and studying material from past classes.

My Son is Moderate Autistic with ADHD and was only reading 5-10 words in a 30 minute session (had to shorten the session length due to attention span). My Son started in September with Krystyna ** as his tutor and is now reading around 30 words a session with less errors and can even sit through the whole hour sometimes. He struggled with long words, so Krystyna started teaching him blending sounds to help him and it has worked wonderfully! He is definitely improving in school as a result. I wish schools would teach like her, then he wouldn't be so far behind.

Christopher ** has been an amazing tutor. Our family absolutely adores him. Our son is a history buff so math doesn't come as easy for him but Chris has somehow made it fun. He is flexible when something comes up and always communicates with me before and after the tutoring sessions. He goes out of his way to make sure that our son has what he needs to succeed. He is always prepared beyond our expectations.

My child started using Varsity Tutors last year for help in her advanced Spanish class. By the end of the year, her grade had went from a D to an A thanks to Edwin. He met with her weekly via Zoom, kept in communication, went above and beyond, and had a caring, helpful demeanor. This year my child is getting SAT prep concentrating in advanced algebra with Elizabeth, and my child loves her tutor. Elizabeth breaks it down in a way that my child grasps and retains, and my "shy" child actually loves her tutor and looks forward to her sessions. We are very grateful for Varsity Tutors and glad we found them!

Varsity Tutors is a very helpful tutoring platform. It offers various forms of tutoring for many different classes of all different levels. The tutors are experts and you can pick your tutor to match your personality and learning styles. They offer many additional resources alongside tutoring or resources that boost the productivity of your tutoring.

I signed up for eight hours of tutoring for my daughter. I made it 100% clear that was all we wanted. Turns out that Varsity Tutors has been billing me monthly for the past seven months - $4,053.00 worth. They have to know they're doing this to customers. Totally unethical.

I received the help I needed. I appreciate the client service department, reaching out and solving my problems. I was able to get my son his last session and I appreciate the tutor he was finally set up with.

I called Varsity Tutors at the end of September to request few sessions for only a month for my son preparing for his SAT. They told me 7 sessions will cost $579 and I opted or the 7 sessions (average of 2 sessions per week) since the examination will just a month away. I gave them my credit card information and they took the $579 out immediately. Getting a tutor for my son was my first challenge as the Tutor assigned to him confirm but DOES NOT show up for sessions. My son will sit in front of the computer for hours waiting and no one will show up and no apologies. I requested for another tutor and in all my son only got 5 sessions instead of 7.

Varsity Tutors heard my concerns and refunded me my money. I appreciate it and look forward to working with a tutor from the organization in the future.

I don't think I've ever left a review online, but my experience with Varsity Tutors was so insane that I had to. In August, I reached out for tutoring on two subjects and was assigned two tutors. One was great, the other sucked. Whatever. It was short notice so I don't hold this against them. Anyways, I call in end of August after the tutoring and cancel my account so they don't charge me since it's a subscription-type model. Fast forward to October and I get charged $400. Give them a call, explain the situation and get a refund. Mistakes happen. Ask for a second time to have my account cancelled and am told that it is and I won't be getting charged moving forward.

I must be honest in this review and say that it has not been easy navigating the tutoring realm. Just like when trying to find the right fit with school, the same is true for a tutor. We have had several tutors the past 6 months we’ve been with Varsity. A lot of that has to do with my child being an exceptional learner and tutors not having the skill set to work with someone like him. Varsity has done their best to find the right fit for him. They have always heard my concerns and worked to rectify any issues. We are currently placed with someone who has been wonderful with my kiddo, and it’s made all the difference.
