    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.

    My younger son also started using Varsity Tutors prior to entering Kindergarten and was able to read and write before starting Kindergarten. My kids not only found a tutor, but honestly, a lifelong friend for our entire family. I couldn't be more grateful for everything our tutors have taught my boys, pushed them to be better, and helped them get ahead in a very tough environment. I would recommend using Varsity Tutors to anyone - not just for the kids struggling in school, but for the ones that are not getting enough one on one attention in school or need to be pushed harder. I have had a very positive experience using the Varsity Tutors platform and have and will continue to recommend them to anyone I know.

    I had two children getting 4 hours of private tutoring in Algebra 1 plus they both were enrolled in a "Bridge the Gap" class so they would be prepared for the transition from Pre-Algebra to Algebra over the summer. This class was at no additional cost. My girls also utilized the chat feature that allowed them to get instant help through a chat. We also plan to use the feature where they can send in their English papers and get feedback prior to submitting it for class. We also plan on using the study hall classes made available weekly - specifically for Algebra 1 if they need additional help at any point. All these additional features really make this a wonderful service. My girls also have ASD so I wasn't sure how online learning would go for them, but it's been fantastic!

    I paid up front for what I was told would be 2 sessions of tutoring for my daughter. She completed one session but because of anxiety related issues was unable to complete the second session. She was literally in tears after the first session and I couldn't subject her to that experience again. She and the tutor were not a good fit and the entire experience of being tutored virtually just didn't work for her. I thought that was the end of it. A month later I was automatically billed another $199. I contacted Varsity the same day I was billed to request a refund since I didn't plan to use the second session. I was told it would not be refunded because I'd actually subscribed to a monthly membership and that refunds aren't given once you've been billed. Had no idea of that and have still never seen paperwork stating that's true. Despite my best efforts to explain the situation, they kept the money even though they knew the second hour would never be used.

    I've never encountered this type of issue anywhere, where a service is cancelled before it's used only to be forced to pay for it anyway. Beware! Only try it out if you're 100% sure you'll want to maintain a monthly membership because once you're billed, chances are you will not get a refund should you decide to cancel. I've since found a reputable tutoring service.

    HORRIBLE. Tried to cancel my membership. Took an ACT of GOD. I had email then ONLY then called them spoke to someone said I needed to get confirmation from Billing (why they can't directly transfer me directly to billing I have NO clue). They billed me the entire month vs. per session so I have to complete the month even though this method of online tutoring IS NOT working. HORRIBLE. Get a live tutor.

    We have used Varsity Tutors now for about 4 months to help keep my son learning over the summer between kindergarten and 1st grade. We have a family history of dyslexia and needed something that was flexible as we had a busy summer. Varsity was/is great to work with!

    They are definitely scammy. The tutor my daughter got was great - but they said the 8 hours I paid for would get used up before they charged me again - That was a lie that the salesperson sold me because then they charged me for 8 hours every month as a subscription. Then another lying salesperson told me I could pause for the summer - and they would NOT start the subscription again until I spoke with them - and -of course- I said that I would not need 8 hours - only 4 or less if this is a subscription. But - that was a lie again as I was charged for 8 hours suddenly in August - without even knowing what class she might need tutoring for. And they REFUSED to refund. They did say they canceled my subscription, but I will keep checking because the people on the phones have lied to me so many times - I can imagine they would charge me again and say that I didn't cancel.

    The company resolved my issues in a very professional manner and to my 100% satisfaction and they have my thanks. I will use this service in the future for sure given the care taken to resolve my concern.

    Original Review: Aug. 28, 2023

    Buyer beware of 'contracts' and what you are 'purchasing'. You will have to track and monitor your account every month. I've accidentally spent $987 FOR ONE HOUR OF TUTORING! The way they contract and bill will force you to call them to cancel your account, otherwise you will continue getting billed every month. By far - this has been one of the worst customer/business process experiences of my life. Used this service once for my son just before school was ending back in June for one hour of a 4 hour block. 'Thought' that's all I had purchased until I saw $329+ charge this last month. Turns out - I have been getting billed $329/month - every month through the summer. Did I receive an email about these billings - no.

    Spoke to them on the phone because it's clear and obvious we've NOT USED IT ONCE SINCE THAT FIRST HOUR. They flatly refuse to consider it and instead offer 'credits' for future tutoring - which I think is hilarious given I paid for like 12 hours already and used just 1!! I just today received a follow up email that 'per the terms of my contract' - I am not 'due a credit'. So they are happy to take your money even when you are clearly not using the service.

    NOTE: The site itself - you can NOT from what I see CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT. They give you the option to change hours or move to an annual plan. Another page has a 'pause' - but then it will just resume billing again later. To cancel - I had to ask the robot chat - which gives you a toll free # and an email address if you want to flat out cancel it.

    Original Review: Aug. 16, 2023

    Varsity Tutors promised that they will start my daughter 's session in July when I signed it up in June. Also if we were not satisfied we could cancel the subscription. They automatically charged me twice and after my daughter didn't like the tutors they are not refunding the money. There is really no straight option to cancel and I was put on hold for an hour to even get a person. Please beware using this service as there is no way out if you want to cancel. Do not put on automatic pay as you will not be able to get your money back.

    The only classes my son has failed in college were the ones he was tutored in by a Varsity Tutor. I was sold a 2 year tutoring program for my college age son who has a learning disability. I was promised tutors that could accommodate his learning disability. I was also promised a grade of B or higher in his college classes. I would have been happy with a C-. He failed both classes he was tutored in, and never had a tutor that was fully qualified to work with someone with a learning disability. He attended 4+ hours of tutoring most weeks, he actually failed assignments that his tutors helped him with!

    I have been repeatedly asking for a refund for some of the services provided because my son did not even come close to passing his classes. I have also begged to be released from my contract because they have not fulfilled their end of the contract. They promise one thing over the phone, and then do what they want with your credit card. My account said that my membership was no longer active; they charged me anyway. Nearly $5000 later, I'm out the tutoring cost and the tuition costs for 7 credits worth of classes. They will not let you out of your contract and will not let you delete your credit card from their website.

Since signing up just a few days ago, I have received no less than a dozen emails, texts, and calls that were supposed to help me navigate my account (they did not) or acted as if I had not already signed up and paid almost $600 a month (month to month). I was paired with a tutor who was nice and apparently skilled (though I have no real proof of this), but also expressed her inability to connect with the company to get answers (being forwarded to a clearly overseas call center who were unable to support her). When trying to set up a follow up call (based upon a text I received FROM THEM requesting a check-in call) I was never called, despite reminders THEY sent.

    When I responded to one of the texts, they called me 90 minutes later - from a call center. They had no idea about why I was called and when I expressed my concerns (you're messing with my money and my child - a line a business should NEVER cross) the rep was unable to understand or address my individual concerns, put me on hold when I requested a supervisor, came back to say they were busy. I had it and requested a cancellation and full refund - they canceled, but a refund needs to be "requested" - then the line went dead. I called the 800 number, selected account management, and once again got a cheery person (of course now that I have canceled) who was horrified to learn of my predicament and is pushing for a refund. Who knows if that will ever happen?

    I reiterate - these people messed with my money, my child, and now my time. I have no idea what type of business model this is based upon or how they are running their customer service - but if their educational model is reflective of this "scheme", run far. I am in the process of writing a formal complaint not only here but to the BBB. Parents have enough on their play and worrying if they paying a reputable company to provide services for children should NOT be one of them.

    Consumers, please read the recent 1 star reviews posted here before you sign up for this service. Just like many other consumers who left 1 star reviews here, Varsity Tutors sold me the package ($2,900) without clearly disclosing that the hours expire within 12 months. I have wasted 47 hours out of 50 hours I purchased (as I added more hours during their promotion). And now they decided to change to the month to month plan from the package service. I will do more research on this company and filing official complaints to attorney general's offices as well as other consumer protection agencies, in the meantime, I want to share my experience with those who are about to sign up for the service.

    I wouldn't recommend this service to any parent or learner. My son is in the 8th month of his one-year monthly contract and we've had a series of issues from the outset. From simple issues like a system that doesn't provide simple methods for identifying your account number to a chatbot that is exceptionally poor for 2023 standards. Their hours billed/used section line items very basic usage, but doesn't have explanatory supplemental information for things like "transfer out." I'm sure it's buried in the fine print, but much like their cancellation policy, you have to really dig in to find any details. This system seems to strictly intend for you to pay and get put on the factory line where each part works a certain way and that's all you get.

    Our latest issue is a tutor who set my son's session for 2 AM in our timezone after we'd requested 4PM. When confronted, he ackowledged the issue and apologized. However, upon resending a new set of invites, he again set a 2 AM start time. Now, I have to do all the work to try and communicate with this company that doesn't even provide a general inquiry email. Again, perhaps it's hidden away somewhere, but this is the type of information that should be readily available. I recommend their system to no one.

    Honestly couldn't recommend this company enough. I took organic chemistry this summer and got an A in the class after taking it for a third time, the other times I was required to withdraw from how bad I was doing in the class. The major difference was made by having a tutor who was very knowledgeable in the topic and was very adaptive with the tutoring style to help shape it to a way that I understood as well as to the format that my class was in so that I didn't get confused. The tutor provided great examples of what something did or could do without taking it to a point that I got lost and was very flexible with her schedule. While their site is a bit pricey it is absolutely worth it if you put the effort in with the tutor to help you succeed.

    The company engages in deceptive practices by selling customers the largest package available without clearly disclosing that the hours expire within 12 months. I personally experienced this when I purchased a 30-hour package, assuming it would cover my two kids' needs throughout their four years of high school. However, when I checked my balance for the upcoming year, it showed zero hours remaining. Upon reaching out to them, I received an email stating that my $1400 was forfeited because 23.45 hours had expired. If the salesman had informed me about the expiration policy, I would never have purchased such a large package, knowing that I would lose $1400 in the process (I hope the salesman enjoyed his fraudulent commission check).

    I attempted to address the issue with corporate, but they remained unresponsive until I reached out to them on their Facebook page. Their response referred to the terms regarding my refund request, and they provided the following statement: "Individual Purchase hours may be redeemed up to one year from the date of purchase." However, this statement cleverly avoids explicitly mentioning that the hours expire. The company deliberately uses deceptive language, counting on most customers to overlook this detail while reading through the terms. Nowhere in the contract does it explicitly state that the hours will expire after 12 months. Consequently, I am currently out $1400, having paid for a service that I did not receive. This situation appears to constitute fraud...

When my four hours were completed with my tutor, he messaged me asking when our next session would be. I told him I have no more hours left as it said in my account. I also told him I had finished with the class and will not be needing any more sessions. I was later charged for another 4 hours, which I never agreed to.

    I've had multiple calls with customer service and they claimed that this service was a subscription and that my account was set up on autopay, which were both not things I agreed to or was told prior to signing up for the service. After being told I would be contacted they failed to call me at the scheduled time, and when I called again to explain the situation, they tried to sign me up for 2 other services after I explicitly stated multiple times that I no longer need the service, did not sign up for a subscription, and wanted to cancel my account and be issued a refund for the additional 4 hours.

    When I first reached out to Varsity Tutors, they seemed like the answer to my prayers. My twin sons were failing their High School Honors Chemistry Class and we could not find someone in our school district to provide the intense help that they needed. I bought the most expensive hourly package available. However, this soon proved to be a huge mistake. The first tutor assigned to us was a University professor from India who was not familiar with the curriculum or the way it was taught; even some of the vocabulary was different. Our second tutor couldn't get either his video or his audio working, but we were still charged the hour.

    At this point, I tried to cancel my membership but was informed that no refunds are ever issued. Since Varsity Tutors still has over $800 of my money, I tried for another tutor - and had the same problem. Despite being promised a hand-selected fit, I was assigned someone who had no experience either teaching or learning in the U.S. Varsity Tutors has defaulted on its promise to provide a suitable tutor for my kids and should refund my money so I can get their needs addressed. They're still failing, by the way, but Varsity Tutors doesn't care.

    I needed to find a math tutor for my 12 year old daughter and I contacted Varsity who were able to connect us with a suitable tutor. When that tutor was unable to continue the sessions, Varsity put us in touch with another tutor who wasn't right for my daughter and Varsity was able to find a replacement who was absolutely brilliant for my daughter. I booked 50 hours tuition as this was the best package for us and the fact there is flexibility to use these hours really helped. The learning platform is user friendly and although we did experience technical issues from time to time is on the whole reliable. I know it is fairly expensive but buying the package made it more affordable and the flexibility to schedule was so important for my daughter.

    I am a third year university student and needed some assistance for two of my classes this last semester (transformation geometry and introduction to theoretical statistics). I was super hopeful to get some help in these courses but shockingly I was very disappointed with Varsity Tutors involvement. First of all my stats tutor was utterly useless and didn't know a single thing the entire session. This session consisted of her talking to herself and mumbling through Zoom trying to figure out the questions I gave her. And this was only the first week of classes. After the first session with her I decided to cancel this tutor and ended up dropping the course because I couldn't find any help.

    I also had my math tutor that was somewhat helpful at the start, however the majority of time in our hourly sessions it was again him talking to himself and trying to figure out how to do the material. Varsity tutors specifically told me that these tutors that were picked out for me knew this material very well and were some of the best. (A Complete Lie). If they didn't have anybody that could help me they should have mentioned that in the start before payment. Speaking of payment, Varsity Tutors is a complete Scam!!! Over the phone they told me exactly what I would be signing up for which was a payment of $512 dollars for 8 sessions between my two subjects. When my stats tutor didn't work out, I called them and told them to cancel that portion and they just said that the 4 hours made of stats tutoring can be also used for my math tutoring so I left it and used up all 8 sessions for math.

    After I completed all 8 sessions I emailed both Varsity tutors and my math tutor and told them I no longer need sessions as I am a university student and do not think this company is worth $512 for 8 sessions and I can no longer afford it. My tutor kindly replied and said that he will also let varsity tutors know that I would like to cancel my membership and do not need any more sessions and when I asked if there was anything else I needed to do, he replied no. Varsity tutors on the other hand just sent an email that they received my request and that they will try to get a hold of me.

    I thought that I was finished with this company, however I checked my bank account and realized that they had still been charging me monthly for $276. I was completely shocked and when I called them they basically told me that they signed me up for a 24 month contract that I have to pay every month and that it is non-refundable. How crazy is it that I needed help for just one semester of university (4 months long) and they signed me up for 24 months total without telling me. Nothing in the contract said anything about this 24 month period and all I have are the receipts each month saying that they took $276 out of my account.

    They kept telling me through this phone call that there is nothing they can do and that I will keep getting charged for the next 2 years. This is so insane and I hope everyone that is thinking of trying this ridiculous scam of a company does not and finds somewhere else. As I said I am a university student and I cannot afford $276 to be taken out of my account for 20 more months for something I never agreed to. So they better believe I will be fighting for my money back.

    We needed tutoring service for our daughter so we called to ask for information. I told the guy I spoke to that I do not want to commit to a 24-month because I need to see first if it is something that would work. The 1st 2 tutoring session did not go well. After the 1st session, I informed them I definitely do not want to continue and would like to just use the hours left. I was told they will keep the membership on pause. I told them I would like to make sure I am not committing to anything. I was assured that there was no commitment and that I could use the remaining hours at our convenience.

    Second session was even worse. Third session we lost the 2 hours because they said we confirmed the session and it was a no show. We never confirmed any session that day as my daughter had 2 matches that day and would have been too exhausted to do a two-hour session. Last 2 hours we lost again. Tutor said it was no show but I sent an email beforehand to let her know she was sick. So we paid $432 for 4 hours! And then someone calls me to let me know we owed 2 more hours? How did that happen??? I tried to explain but I was told I had a 24 month membership. I told them that is not true.

    Someone calls me again the next day. I offer the same explanation but it seems like they're not understanding the word cancel and the woman kept on offering me options. Today our credit card gets charged $621!!! I call them to ask - and I was told they will review but can not confirm if a refund is possible. So now I am waiting for their review and for them to give me back my $621 which they shouldn't have taken in the first place. I feel like I was robbed twice over. This is just wrong and business should not be conducted this way. When clients do not want to continue because they are not happy with the service, they have every right to cancel the service without being harassed let alone take more money from them. $621 is not a small amount of money. We are not rich and we work hard to provide for our children's needs. This should be returned to us.

    We were looking for study help for our high school student in Math Calculus. When we called Varsity Tutors, the representative sold us a package for 8 classes and insisted on pre-payment for the package. There was no reference to a subscription or contract or much less auto-renewal terms. We were billed about $500 for the package with "satisfaction guarantee". There was no explicit signed contract ever presented and there was no terms recorded at the point of sale. We specifically requested only 8 classes and rep agreed and said she made notes of that with verbal agreement. The tutor was knowledgeable and was helpful to my student's study prep. He was prompt and explained the lessons well though there was no set curricular structure. He was professional and did a good job.

    As we drew close to the end of the package, we clearly explained to the rep that we needed no further classes. However, Out of the blue, our credit card was fraudulently charged for another $500!! We had not requested further classes. When we called the Varsity Tutors, Ashley who this time identified herself as the account manager said that as per the contract's terms of use this is non-refundable and it is auto-renewed if not cancelled 10 days prior. We have disputed in writing as a response to their email notifying to Varsity Tutors of their breach of trust and contract since we had verbally notified to them 3 times of our request for no further classes beyond the 8 class package.

    This company has extremely egregious and fraudulent business practices using opaque contracts with auto-renewable fine print. The contract terms and much less the contract itself is never presented to the customer which extremely misleading. There is neither a line to the supervisor or an appeal process worth an effort. On further discovery, we found that the company has been losing out on the stock market and has been fraudulently moving all of its customers into a subscription model to attract investors. So customers beware when dealing with this company. they are a scam.

    Original Review: May 1, 2023

    I noticed that the hours I purchased kept disappearing, then I realized that every month they zero all purchased hours even if they weren't used. When I called them, they said the hours I purchase every month expire whether we use them or not. Very deceptive contract they make us sign. However, it wasn't even my problem with this company. I tried and tried to use up the hours by trying to find qualified tutors for my two children - precalculus, honors geometry, Latin, and writing. We just couldn't. Their math tutors couldn't even solve the simple questions, and my two kids were VERY frustrated. A Latin tutor they found for us couldn't even schedule the sessions because she couldn't figure out how to use their system.

    After many hours three of us spent, I finally gave up and requested the refund for our unused 12 hrs (NOT expired) and close the account. However, they refused and said we should just try to find different tutors when I clearly stated that we tried many different tutors already. I even asked them to review the sessions (they record every session) to understand our frustration. I don't think I will ever get the money back, but I just wanted everyone to know how unprofessional this company is and wanted to warn not to use their service.

    I'm a single woman in my late 30's going back to school to finish my degree. I'm paying for school out of pocket and working 30+ hours a week while taking 16 credit hours. If this sounds like you, spend your money elsewhere. There's no consideration or customer service offered. You pay monthly price for a service (whether the full amount of that service is used or not). If there are leftover available tutoring hours that have already been paid for, they're not rolled over. If an automatic, monthly, non-refundable payment of $650 doesn't bother you...by all means, have at it. But, It's far more cost effective to find a tutor through other means and not overpay. Varsity's model is just another example of the "business of education".

    We had a very bad experience with Varsity Tutors. Our tutor was nice and did a good job with our daughter, but we're on different coasts so timing was really difficult. Most of the available times on our schedule didn't work for our tutor. That made it very challenging to fit in our sessions around school, homework, activities, the tutors existing schedule with other kids, etc. They tell you it is easy - it is not. They also charged us for a day when my child was sick. I used their chat customer service feature and the person scheduled time for me to talk to someone live that evening. We picked a time, I confirmed, and then sat there waiting with no call. They never bothered.

    I scheduled a second call with them for the following day, same outcome. They didn't bother to call back. Busy parents beware - they don't care about or value our time at all. I then called the main number, waited on hold for a very long time, and finally got someone live. The woman I spoke with said she was sorry that I was left hanging but there was nothing she could do about the charge. That was it. She had an attitude, her apology was not sincere or understanding of the frustration (from being billed for time we didn't use and for being ghosted multiple times by her staff).

    At the end of the day, we wasted a lot of our time, we were told we could book during convenient hours for our child and family (didn't happen), we were told they would fix the billing issue (they did not and we still had to pay it), and we spent hours trying to fix an easy issue that they could have chosen to resolve. I asked her if it was worth losing a customer and she didn't answer but did say she was happy to review the hours with me again if it would "make me feel better." The attitude was an issue - and we will not be back. We had planned to renew but we most definitely will not be coming back. Terrible customer service - difficult scheduling - and expensive!

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.

Her conversational style makes it easier to learn and use the proper verbiage and pronunciation for each situation. I see the value more and more every week and it always leaves me anxious to get to the next week.

Every month they zero all her billed hours (none used) and then bill for 8 others? She ok’d what she thought was a rate sheet but is instead a very long deceptive contract with hidden predatory clauses. These include 2-year non cancellable term and automatic $509 monthly billing for 8 hours that immediately expire if not used by month end. They charged so far $3,054 for 9 used (partial) hours and their position is that she must pay another $9,162 over the next 18 months. What can I say!?!?!?! UNPROFESSIONAL is an understatement.

    Enrolled in plan for almost $500/month because instant tutoring sounded great with busy schedules. Unfortunately the instant tutoring was not easy to navigate and the tutors are college students who are smart but not "teachers". When I called Varsity for help navigating to the instant tutoring, the service rep didn't even know they offered it and couldn't help me. So much for getting help when you need it. The tutors are college students who lack patience and actual teaching skill. In addition, the tutor we were finally linked with was very difficult to understand due to a heavy accent. My son has ADD and anxiety which was worsened by this. When I called Varsity to stop the membership I was told I had a contract and could simply decrease my plan but not cancel. NO EXCEPTIONS.

    DO NOT sign anything for monthly tutoring with this company. I basically donated $2000 to them, tried everything with my son and he refused to use the service because it stressed him out. They don't care, will continue to bill your account and take your money for no services rendered even if you are unable to use the service as I am.

My son actually reads the notes and uses them to help him focus between sessions. He also watches the videos for additional support. Ms. ** is organized and uses the tutoring time well. She is positive and encouraging and keeps students engaged by directing them to think and plan and generate ideas.

Both of my children really enjoy the tutors and it’s nice to have the same person each session. For us we do not have them tutor based specifically on their homework.

    I ran across Varsity Tutoring while looking for some quick tutoring for my granddaughter before she took the ACT. I told them that she had about a month before the test and I just wanted some one-on-one help and tips before the test. I did not want something long term and he agreed that they could help. I was promised 4 one-on-one sessions and group tutoring. I only got 1 one-on-one session with them because the tutor never showed up and then when they told me to go to the emergency tutors, they did not know what to do.

    They were supposed to test to determine what my granddaughter needed but never worked with her on anything from the test and the tutors were lost and also very hard to understand. One even told me a website to visit to get help after speaking with me for about 5 minutes. Varsity Tutoring had the nerve to charge me for another month after I told them I just wanted quick tutoring for a month. Don't waste your money on Varsity Tutoring. It's a rip-off.

    Original Review: Feb. 28, 2023

    I was paying around 350 a month and they hooked me up with a tutor that has an AA degree and tutors in a huge range of topics. Initially, I had taken a test and I had gotten 17 out of 20 by myself. I went through the test questions with the tutor and I went back to take the test again. His answers had gotten 12 out of 20. Why are you even tutoring others when you don't know anything. He kept telling me how he had wanted me to be part of his team in a cybersecurity contest. He told me he can hook me up with apprenticeships and he would send me emails on various information.

    None of his promised ever came through, he kept canceling my tutoring sessions 10 minutes before a session starts. He wouldn't even answer his messages or let me know what was going on. Your hours with Varsity Tutor expires at the end of each month, so he cancelled one of my sessions at the end of the month and wasted one hour of my allotted time.

    I called into varsity tutor to cancel my membership, they lied to me over the phone and never canceled my membership. I had to call in at the end of the month again and finally they had canceled my membership. Also, they did not let me know about recurring charges and they do not give refunds. Furthermore, I had requested for someone with a bachelor degree, master, PhD or at least a teacher to tutor me. It has been over 48 hrs and they have not found me anyone. Avoid this business at all cost. You can get chatgpt to tutor you for free or 40 bucks a month.

We only had one hour with Varsity tutors out of over $600 cad they took from us. Laura had told me they would refund my money if I am not comfortable.

    To cut my long story short, I did not know that varsity tutors is a dubious company and they succeeded in parting my $650 WHILE WE ONLY HAD ONE HOUR. They gave me another tutor from Newfoundland and while we had only one hour 30 mins, they told me my subscription had expired and as such will not be able to refund my money.

    Varsity tutors did not provide the service they specifically advertised and committed to me when discussing signup and membership: I would have a choice of tutors emailed to me, all tutors have college degrees and experience in teaching 1st grade reading, that I would be paired with someone who is available at the time of my choosing. Our family gave them 5 opportunities to pair us with a tutor that fit this criteria and they repeatedly failed. Of the 5 tutors we were paired with within 2 weeks, none fit our very simple criteria of being a college graduate with experience in teaching the subject we were looking for and availability to teach. We had a single poor experience with actually engaging in a 1:1 tutoring session after multiple pairings and 7 calls to Varsity Tutors office.

    Today, they declined to refund my payment whatsoever. I cancelled less than 2 weeks into my membership with 1 of 4 hours used of tutoring. They also over-docked my tutoring session at 1.5hr when it really ended at 1hr. The additional "free" classes that were offered in our membership were poor at best. After extensive time on my part, a single tutoring session, and false promises -- I have been told that I will not receive a refund for what I paid for the membership. As a mother, I do not recommend this tutoring service whatsoever -- buyer beware.

    Varsity tutors recommended a 30 hour package for my son's SAT/college prep. We used on 9.5 hours, later in Sept 2022 it got expired. I got concerned and called them and the agent there reinstated it. My son has been taking help with them on calculus. Recently I paid 747$ for additional 9 hours as i got a notification that my hours were low. When I checked after I paid, it showed negative hours. I got concerned and called, an arrogant agent picked up and told me that I never had any credits and I have been charged for hours that have been used.

    He said it was my problem that I signed the contract and it didn't matter what their agents had told me. Their system had allowed us to take classes even when they claim that hours have not been reinstated. I was never told that the reinstatement failed, I would have never continued with them. They lied and scammed me. Please stay away from this company. The customer service staff are rude and don't give a **! The agent specifically told me that he didn't care if I continued as a customer or not! Good luck doing business this way.

Customer service told us it was not a problem (recorded and on file) When we noticed the additional charges we called to cancel and was told it would be no problem. Then we received two emails stating we would not be refunded due to policy. Your employee Tim was very kind but said there was nothing he could do, no one to talk to, no email contact. He just said I had to live with it. They kept a lot of money for services not rendered. I think the company can and should do better.

    The sales rep misinformed me about tuition fee. I was told $529 was for 6 months and found out the next day that I was charged the entire $529 for the first month. After incessant calls and follow ups, they finally cancelled my membership and sent me an email that I was ineligible for a refund. My daughter did not have a single session with them but they basically asked me to read my terms of membership and that I would not get my money back. I am livid and will do whatever it takes to get my refund back. They misrepresent and when challenged, push us against the wall. I have no recourse at this time but I plan to take legal action against them. It is no longer about the money but about principles.

    Updated review: Jan. 27, 2023

    When the client experience department reached out I was 100% sure they were going to give me the runaround and offer me expired coupons to make up for it. What did happen was actually quite beautiful and I was brought to tears shortly after. I spoke with what I can only imagine to be an angel (not kidding at all). This angel was named Teresa and this was by far the best experience I've ever had in my life when dealing with disputed matters.

    Teresa offered more than an opportunity to resolve my situation, she offered what most people fail to do and that is “Listen”. Most people listen to respond rather than to understand where a person was coming from. Losing my mother the last 90 days has rocked my world and I watch people lose compassions for human decency because they are in pain.

    Teresa made one simple statement that changed the course and tone of the entire conversation and that was “I am ready to help, would you please tell me what happened and what would you you like to see to make this right.” I was honestly paused by the very sincere way she approached that I was almost rendered speechless (like omg someone cares!!!). She let me talk, she didn’t interrupt and let me explain how I felt information was miscommunicated and that I felt helpless.

    Some may think I overreacted, but there is no overreacting when it comes to my child’s education and ensuring her future. My child sought Varsity and found not only home but an amazing tutor who has become more like an aunt/sister which has increased my child’s learning experience. So you can see it was devastating on having to end the relationship. Not only that but I work hard for every dollar I earned and I refuse to waste giving light of inflation and what not in our country.

    Original Review: Jan. 23, 2023

    Oh my day!! I am absolutely mortified. When I signed up in August of 2022 for my two kids I was excited. The kids loved their tutoring and they were great. My son began having sessions offered at school so I removed him for the package. Prior to signing up I specifically asked if the hours were not were not used will they roll over. The rep ensured me that they did. Even after removing my son we had an additional four hours available for usage. I thought gee this is great. My daughter can use the extra hours around testing time. Since the rep told me they would roll over I did not ask for a refund for my son.

    My mother passed away in October and we were traveling back and forth from California to Indiana in order to resolved everything. Because their rep told me hours would roll I was not worried and focused more on my family. It wasn't until today 1/23/2023 that I went to update my payment info that I saw the "credit expired notices". I was like what the heck and immediately called. The rep I spoke to basically told me I was SOL because it's in their guidelines. So basically their reps do a bait and switch to get you to sign up.

    The rep offered no help and was like basically I can help you cancel and you will likely not get a refund. Total **. More than 500 bucks down the drain. I trusted you guys!! You are liars and scammers! You're supposed to help and be an assistant but I'll give you an A for your business structure and ripping people off. People please find your own private tutor or a place where you pay as you go,

If we have any questions, they always follow up and resolve the issues or concerns as soon as possible, even on the weekends. They have a large pool of tutors for high school AP sessions, ACT and SAT preparation sessions. My daughter is happy with the tutors assigned to her. The tutors are very patient to answer any questions she has for the topics and provide summary and tips to help her improve the specific areas challenging to her. Most of the online tutors are flexible, if things come up, the student and tutors can reschedule, cancel, or add sessions. This helps a lot with my daughter’s busy school and activity schedules.

    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!

    Stay as far as you possibly can from Varsity Tutors. They will take your money and they will not even be able to pair you with the proper tutor. They do not have Licensed Clinical psychologists as tutors for EPPP and they lie to people that they do. They ignore you when you mention the money. They will play around with you until the year is up for the money you paid and then they will say that you cannot get a refund anymore. They took my money and assigned me tutors who had no relevence to the field of psychology. You do not assign a medical student with a psychology student to teach EPPP just because they took one class in psychology. They are fraud, they took my money and they did not pair me with a proper tutor. If I could give zero stars I would with a pleasure. Save your time and money and stay away from them.

    My daughter (S) was matched with an Algebra tutor on Varsity Tutors, and I could not have paired two people better. S's confidence was shaken after failing a unit and our tutor has spent so much time getting her back up to speed. She also made sure to connect with her personally about sewing and other hobbies -- even though sessions are remote, she is getting to know the WHOLE kid. She is also great at keeping parents in the loop. I have received texts, emails, and really thorough summaries about their sessions less than 30 min after they conclude. She also asked me to send the teacher's syllabus so she could be totally plugged into what S was learning. Amazing and worth every penny. Looking forward to seeing an improvement in her grades and her mojo next semester!

Because this platform had really helped me, my parents agreed, and purchased $5000 worth of hours.

    The sales lady told us that we could easily extend the hours past 1 year. This was very deceiving, as on November 17th of this year, were not notified our hours would expire. Because my parents bought 100 hours, there was no need for her to call me and let me know my hours were going to expire, as there was nothing for us to purchase. Not a single warning as given to me about these hours expiring.

    No phone calls emails voicemails or even a notification on the Varsity Tutors website. There is no place that tells you when your hours expire on this website, only how many hours are left in my balance. Therefore, I had no idea of knowing these hours were going to expire until I tried using a tutor today. I only found out because my tutor reminded me that my hours were no more. I had 45 hours and 47 minutes remaining. We spent $5,000 on hours and there is no reason half of them should be wasted without warning.

    I tried calling customer service many times today. However, the only response I would receive was "we can only charge we cannot refund money or hours". They claimed that only management can reinstate hours, and I would have to wait 72 hours for a possibility of someone calling me back. I spoke to and Josh, Marie, Andrew, Natalie (who was very rude) and they all said they could do nothing except charge me for more hours. Additionally, the reason there are so many hours left is because it is hard to find a good tutor on the higher level classes.

    After adding money to my child’s account, Varsity Tutors is attempting to keep my balance. My child had to take a medical leave from school. The person I spoke to about this pause seemed trustworthy. I agreed not to take a refund but to leave the balance in the account. I did this for a reason. I specifically wanted to express my confidence in a speedy and full recovery. Access to the account was cut off so I started making phone calls. They are now claiming the hours are expired!

    Child wanted to save hours for a harder class, without much thought I said great idea. However, when they finally needed a tutor to help study for a hard test, we found out all our hours 'expired'. I am sure the lawyers had that in the fine print, however the company never bothered to email these were expiring. They sure sent plenty of marketing emails, so they knew my email address. Company is more for money than helping kids (obviously). Tutors were so/so, one kept rescheduling so it was worthless to set a consistent time.

    Keep in mind if you go with this company - the people you speak with on the phone just want you to sign a 12-month contract, and will say anything to get you to do it. I joined - with the promise of my deposit returned if I cancelled within 30 days. I spoke with a second person before I signed the contract online, and he said same thing about refund- pushing me to sign BEFORE my child/I saw product - you're not allowed to visit a “free class” (free only if you join $249 a month) until contract is signed. My daughter hated being online, (some people learn better in person) and so I tried canceling less than a week after signing in. Now I’m told - NO REFUNDS!!! That is $279 wasted. I spoke to 2 people to get refund, first time hung up on, second time saying no can do on a refund… after complaining, she said, “I’ll have someone contact you”. They never did.

    Varsity Tutors was willing to work with me to meet my grandson's needs. They acknowledged that he may do better with an in person tutoring. They cancelled the contract to allow us to seek the appropriate tutor for Him.

    Original Review: Nov. 4, 2022

    I signed my autistic grandson up for tutoring. I was concerned about having tutoring online for him and keeping him engaged in the learning process. I was told that I could cancel at any time if the tutoring was not working. When I went to cancel, I was informed that I had a one-year contract and was obligated to continue with the tutoring. The tutoring is not helping him. They lied to me when they told me I could cancel at any time. When I called to discuss it with them my phone calls were ignored and I kept receiving emails telling me how I had a one-year contract. Now I am expected to pay $260 a month for nothing. This place is more about making money than helping children. Don’t sign up, you’ll lose all your money and see no progress.

Still, the counselors at varsity tutors make this process much easier for you by providing guaranteed tutoring in case the tutor that you've been matched with is not compatible with you, you can ask for another one and restore the hours you used in that session.

    I purchased the 50-hours package for my child at Varsity Tutors and it had no expiration date. We have been experimenting with different tutors and we have run across a variety of issues with every instructor they sent us, including ending lessons 20 minutes early than the assigned hour, stalling time, talking on the phone, and talking to their family members during lessons, and more. We discussed all the problems with Basil, the account manager, who again assured us there would be no expiration date and asked us to continue trying out the tutors they sent us so we continued trying out different tutors again that I purchased.

    Since it was extremely difficult to find the right tutor and also my child was sick so we reported to him again about the tutors issues and postponed the lessons. He told us we could just stop for a while and resume anytime we wanted with no expiration date. The lesson is then resumed, and we started trying out different tutors. We called Basil and found out he left the company. However, Maddie ** called me on 7/28/22, and asked me to keep trying the tutor they sent, and she also stated that Varsity Tutors offered us free trials lesson until we finds the right tutor for our child, also promised us that there would be no expiration date. We tried the tutor again and also we have been trying to contact Maddie ** again in August 2022, but she hasn't returned any of our messages and phone calls.

    On 9/17/22, Adrian called me and tried to persuade me to purchase the new package, saying that they had already deleted the 22 hours that were left in my account and left me zero balance because it has expired. I told him that Maddie ** had promised that no expiration date and also offered free trials lesson until I found the right tutor, and Basil also assured had no time limit. Adrian claimed that there is no such thing as it and forced me to purchase a new package in order to reinstate the 22 hours back into my account. I requested to speak with Maddie, but he refused to let me. Given that we encountered and witnessed this company Varsity Tutors, it is evident that they are a ripoff and shouldn't be trusted.

They were POLITE, spoke intelligible English and didn't rush me off the call or use prewritten fake scripts. WOW! When does that ever happen anymore.

    Very good, very convenient. Connected me with a great tutor that helped me get through a tough course. They are very responsive, seem to have a huge database of tutors that are highly qualified, and follow up and support as well. Highly recommend!

    We so appreciate the customized approach our tutor has showed to help instruct and encourage our child! We have seen tremendous growth in just a few short weeks. We started with 10 sessions and will take a small pause for the summer but will start back before the school year starts to get a jump start with learning in a fun way!
