Liza ** reached out to me! She is lovely and accommodating. I do appreciate all the effort your company did to resolve my issues.
Original Review: April 30, 2022
I am writing this to share my disgust with Varsity Tutors. My daughter, who used Varsity Tutors, took her NCLEX on Thursday. We received the quick results today Saturday, April 30 and learned she had failed. I paid $2600. I immediately screenshot the failed notification and called Varsity Tutoring to speak to an account manager. He assured me that my daughter would be able to start tutoring hours this coming Monday so as not to lose her momentum. Furthermore she wouldn’t have to wait three months to take her next test.
Then I was informed that they will not allow my daughter to start tutoring again until she receives the official report. It can six weeks to get the results and at least a month to six weeks of further study. This will set back her endeavors by ANOTHER 3 months. This delay is unnecessary and unsympathetic to your clients. I have asked them to apply the 36 hours back to my daughter’s account so she can start Monday and retake the test May 31, still no answer.
I am a teacher myself and very active in my community. As PA President of Forest Hills HS with a student body of 4000. I am also a Director at a prestigious summer camp in Long Island. As such, parents often ask for recommendations for tutoring services. I am hoping they will resolve this and she can start sessions on Monday or Tuesday. I would love to be able to write a positive review here and further promote your services. Additionally I recommended several people so person signed up for 36 hours as well. Please see your way clear to allowing my daughter begin taking sessions starting on Monday. If you cannot accommodate this request please refund my money.
Hi Jamie - Thank you for your feedback on your resolution. If there is anything further we can do to improve your experience, please let us know.

I cannot say enough positive about my tutor, Thierry, and Varsity Tutors as a whole. Not only was then onboarding process fantastic but they matched me with the absolute best PMP tutor possible in Thierry.

I have requested a refund for almost ten days. I bought about $950 for 12 hours and took one session, and have left the remaining sessions of 10 hours. According to their contract, students can request a refund after we have taken the first session. After taking the first session, I considered it too expensive and thus no longer wanted to continue the sessions. Now it's been the tenth day I asked for the refund; they said the consultant would call me. However, I didn't manage to receive the call. Instead, I called customer service ten times in a couple of days. Unfortunately, this company's customer service voice says all employees aren't currently unavailable to keep up the call. The time I called is all within 9 AM-6 PM EST. I found the customer service is fake, which I have dialed ten times, but these calls from me were unanswered. I can only wait for now for them to return my unused sessions. I hope I can get my money back eventually.

I have been with Varsity Tutors for about 3 years. I started my son with Varsity because he was struggling with phonetic sounds which was hindering his ability to read. My son is now reading. They have amazing tutors who actually help students with confidence along with learning the core subjects. Not only does my son use it, but my daughter also gets help in math. When she first began she struggled with Algebra but her grades have improved. She always expresses how much she appreciates her tutor. He is patient and takes time to explain things that she does not understand. Varsity Tutors has been a great experience for both of my children and I highly recommend anyone who has children or taking a class seek help through these tutors. They are professional and very knowledgeable.

My second grader has been struggling with reading, which was causing him to draw back from wanting to read. I was able to find Varsity Tutors and from the start my experience on the phone with the specialist was amazing. She understood my concern and guided me on what plan would work best for my son. He is now on his 4th session with Ms. Holly and he is always excited and looking forward to his session. He is eager to learn new words and wanting to read again.

I first found Varsity Tutors when I was looking for a German tutor for my son. He was taking German his Freshman year of college after never taking a single German class and struggling. After the first few meetings with his tutor, his grade improved significantly. He has been fortunate enough to have two different German tutors, both who have been professional, friendly, patient, and AMAZING (Elsie and Norbert). Both have given my son so much confidence in his German class that his professor recommended that he minor in German (and he is)! I also feel that Varsity Tutors cares about my son's progress. Not only does the tutor send notes after each meeting, but the local office is always checking in, making sure we are happy with their services and with our tutor.

If I could rate 0 stars, I would. This company scammed me. I reached out for tutoring for a very niche topic, a professional designation exam, their website indicated that they have that specialization. After thinking about the cost for a week, I decided to proceed with their 12 hour program (more than $100/hour!). This program comes with a pass guarantee, a tutor guarantee, and a small discount on the hourly rate. It seemed the most secure and best option. I was paired with a tutor, we had our first session (which couldn't be less than 2 hours), and he did not give me his undivided attention. He was on his phone, typing emails on his laptop, offered no guidance on questions I was asking, told me to "just guess and then check the answer". This was not worth $100+ an hour.
The following day, I called Varsity Tutors to ask for a new tutor assignment, because I could tell this guy wasn't meeting my expectations, and they apologized profusely, refunded the 2 hours to my account, and told me I will be assigned a new tutor in 2-3 days. 3 days go by, and I still have no new assigned tutor, I call twice daily for updates in their search, and never received a positive update. I asked multiple times, how many tutors they have for this exam topic, and they told me "We don't know". Finally, after a week of not receiving any updates, I asked if I would qualify for a full refund, and they said yes. So I proceeded with the refund. A few days go by and I am not refunded the full amount that I paid. Total scam. I do not recommend this company for any professional exam!

VT classes have become the best extracurricular activities for my daughter. She finds a topic that is interesting and she gets to not only learn more about that subject, but she gets to do it with her peers that are scattered throughout the country and sometimes even the world. The best instructors tailor the classes to the students enrolled with flexible topics and pacing that keep the kids engaged. With the variety of instructors and topics, you can find the "perfect fit" for your situation. The StarCourses are engaging for the whole family.

Varsity Tutors is a great way to get help with difficult courses. I took an online Calculus II class which was challenging. Having a tutor greatly improved my learning and my grade, especially since the nature of the online course meant I was unable to easily work through questions with the professor. The platform Varsity Tutors uses is excellent, allowing both the tutor and the student to see each other, write on a shared virtual whiteboard, and upload documents. The tutoring session notes are then saved for the student to reference later, as needed. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors for anyone struggling with a difficult course. I also strongly recommend tutor Don ** if you are taking math and science courses.

I purchased 36 hours for my oldest daughter toward SAT prep, which was not helping. In fact, she received the exact same score after tutoring as before after using 21 of the hours. I spoke to account rep about refund but we were outside the 30 days so could not receive a refund. It was discussed we could use the hours for my younger daughter. Unfortunately, by the time my daughter was ready for SAT prep, the hours expired and when I tried to reinstate them, could only get 10 of the 15 hours I paid for reinstated, but had to purchase another hour (at $95) just to get those 10 hours back. I spoke to a representative and the company offered NO flexibility around this policy. Very disappointing at the very least that I paid $2,340 for hours for my oldest to get the exact same test score, and now I’m out $325 for the hours the company will not allow me to reinstate. I would NOT recommend at all.

I signed my daughter up for the 500 dollar group sessions. Basically she was taught tricks to get through the questions without reading them. She also only had 1 maybe two lessons on the math portion. I did let someone know that when they called to check up. Before tutoring she had a 1080. She did the tutoring and retook the test and got an 1100. 20 points she gained. She is an honor student taking ap courses. So she understands things. I’m very disappointed that she only gained 20 points for taking 8 classes and costing 500 dollars. Wow. You can contact me.

I took a chance on a class at Varsitytutors.com from an advertisement in Facebook. Who would have thought? I signed up for the free presentation on the death of Julius Caesar. It was a 45 minute video presentation that was absolutely spectacular. The grade level was supposedly grade school to high school but I have two master's degrees and I have never learned so much in just 45 minutes as I did in this video presentation. The speaker was so enthusiastic he could hardly hold himself on a live presentation of a tour of the Roman Forum. I have now signed up for another free class. The only requirement they have is they merely suggest that you consider having one of their private conferences for tutorial purposes. They have proven to be so good I would be willing to pay for this quality of learning.

My son used Varsity Tutors for AP Calculus and ended up dropping out of the course mid-semester because he failed the class. His tutors kept telling him he was doing fine, but he obviously was not. I am not putting the entire blame on Varsity Tutors, I know my son likely should have worked harder. But, I was pressured into buying more hours than we needed and I want a refund. I requested a refund in writing with no response. I called and they said it was after a 30-day period for refunds and I would not get one. They offered more tutoring.??? I want a refund. I paid about $58/hour for my son to get help and we have 16.62 hours left. I do not recommend Varsity Tutors.

My daughters (3rd & 4th graders) and I watched “Tracing the Life of Frederick Douglass.” The virtual class was informative and engaging. My girls & I really liked it. My grandparents settled in Baltimore by way of NC & VA during the Great Migration and my dad, uncle, my siblings, & I were raised there. So, my girls were already familiar with Baltimore, other areas of Maryland, and (of course) Frederick Douglass. However, this lesson delved deeper (in an age/a grade appropriate manner) into the complex history of Maryland which my girls did not know about.
My daughters learned more about Maryland as slave holding border state, the Wye Plantation, and discovered that there are living descendants of both Frederick Douglass and the Lloyds. My girls had not consider that Frederick Douglass had 3rd and 4th (or more) great-grandchildren living at the same time as they are. It was wonderful to watch that “ah-ha!” moment. Ashlee Anderson asked thought provoking questions which resulted in us talking about this topic long after the presentation ended and how Maryland’s history impacted our family. This was my first experience with Varsity Tutors and it far exceeded my expectation. We will definitely participate in future virtual classes.

I wanted to help my daughter prepare for the HSPT test with the help of Varsity Tutors. First tutor didn’t have experience tutoring for that test nor did they use the Varsity Tutor platform. They weren’t prepared for the session and gave no plan for the next session. After requesting a second tutor that was assigned a week later, I explained my expectations for the session. Their response was, "I have other engagements, please find another tutor." I asked the agent if my expectations were out of line and they said no. This company is quick to take your money and not back it up with a service that they promise. The tool they use seems good but our experience with the tutors was pathetic. I would never recommend them based on our experience. Waste of time and money.

However, when I logged on to Zoom I noticed the instructor wasn't good. She was sorta dull, and wasn't very engaging. I wanted to give it another shot though so I went to class 2.

As I said, she goes to the next step when she finishes it, she doesn't wait until us kids are finished it.

There was only only one tutor and the training would be online. Well it was an amazing experience for me as a parent. Each test grade improved and she ended with a B+ in the class. Brian Jacobs was a great tutor. He was able to teach her concepts that were cumulative helping her on all the tests. They used the white board and she actually liked that method. Brian was awesome!

Tutor for SAT prep was Matthew H. He always came prepared with practice problems. Matthew would also explain the reasoning behind answers instead of just moving on once problems had been completed. He was also very knowledgeable on all subjects required for the SAT and was still comfortable and clear in his instructions when topics switched abruptly. Essay writing tutor was Elke **. She not only coached me when writing my essays, but also instilled in me many writing tips that I still use today. My pre-calculus tutor was Glenn **. He helped me not only complete my Pre-Calculus homework on time, but helped me retain information I had learned in class through repeated practice. My Physics tutor Rebecca was very efficient when helping me through my Physics homework. We would often get through lots of material very quickly without sacrificing my understanding of the topics for speed.

I signed my daughter up for ACT group class. It was a waste of time and money. The teacher never showed her voice both times and told the kids to exchange phone numbers so they could text, which is what they then did all class. I called Varsity Tutors and luckily dealt with Simone who handled things very nicely and calmed me down. I was very frustrated and disappointed. She gave me a credit and I decided to go with a private tutor and ended up purchasing a bundle. Simone has followed up to see if I was, indeed, happy and I am. If not for Simone I would have shared my huge disappointment on social media. I still think you should not have an “invisible” teacher teaching. My own situation, however, has been remediate and I think Simone should be recognized for her professionalism when dealing with the situation. I was extremely upset by the waste of money and our time. Thank you.

SAT Tutoring. I would highly recommend Varsity Tutors. My daughter was struggling with making an 1170 for her Bright Futures Scholarship. After a two week cram session with Jason, she made exactly an 1170!!! I only have positive things to say about VT and Jason. I would recommend to any parent, let your child interact with tutor and kinda let them run with it without interference. We did the online version where you can watch child being tutored. Have faith in tutor and watch the sessions after test. Sincerely, Ralph **

I would like to express how deeply grateful I am for Varsity Tutors for choosing Nick as our appropriate tutor. He has by far expanded our love for the program by witnessing the quick positive transformation in our daughter's academic success. He has taken the time to get to know her as a person not just a client. He will check in and see how things are going and what he can do to help. Happily, when my daughters SAT score jumped almost 300 points with just two of his lessons. She was so excited and called Nick first to share her news. He was so proud of her and reminded her that she can do anything she puts her mind to and to go for it. I don't know what we'd do without him.

College Algebra Tutoring. Varsity Tutors was the best! Math is my daughter's most challenging subject. After I called for help they had her paired with a fantastic tutor in no time! She felt confident and comfortable with him right from the start! Thank you Intzar **! He was kind, considerate, 100% knowledgeable, and a great match for her. She was able to ask him questions (sometimes many times over) and he would take the time to explain and re-explain until she understood. When the class ended she was able to get her dream grade - she would have settled with a C but acquired a B!! Her best grade ever in math! Thanks again Varsity Tutors and Intzar **!

I had John ** as my tutor for college level calculus. Not only did John help me through this infuriating class, but he made it FUN! John will take multiple approaches just to make sure that YOU understand the topic at hand. Being VERY very patient and willing to work in person and online if needed, you MUST give him a try. I bet that you will get excellent results. How do I know? I failed calc my first semester, had John help me into my second try, and passed with a solid B+ the next time. John was my one and only tutor I had, and if all other Varsity tutors are like this, then Varsity is definitely worth the money and time.

I can't begin to tell you how thankful and grateful I am to you for tutoring my granddaughter. When she just couldn't get it, I called you and you came to the rescue. You worked with her and showed her that she could get it, then her other grades went up also. Thank you for the confidence you gave her. This was a hard year for all the students because of the Coronavirus. Their classrooms were taken away, their teachers also, and they were put online for all classes. The homework did not quit. It just kept being added on.
I have only praise for Varsity Tutors, Amy **, Dil **, Brian **, and all the other tutors. I also, want to thank all the people who answer the phones, answer our questions, and everyone all together made it possible for her to pass her senior year. Again, I thank you.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and schools shutting down, my wife and I were not sure where to turn. We turned to Varsity Tutors and immediately were impressed. Not only does the program hold live classes they also provide 1-on-1 tutoring for those that need it. Mind you at times the classes can be 100+ students, but the teachers hold the classes really well and ensure teaching is productive. My (3) children, twins (6-years old), and oldest (9 years-old) have benefited greatly from all classes they have taken. Varsity Tutors takes education seriously and has provided us with education from the Kindergarten level phonics class, to basic math, to intro to Spanish, to intro to coding, 5th grade math, intro to Pre-Algebra, physics and motion and so on. We will be utilizing their program in the summer and hope they continue with programming as it has proved valuable.

We used Varsity Tutors with our anxious and irritable teen girl. Initially we were looking for 'not a parent' to help her out, but we received much more. Our tutor was patient (much more than we are), capable, and patient as she worked through the gaps between schoolwork and homework. We couldn't be happier with how Varsity Tutors selected an appropriate tutor, and how happy with the multi-year success of Varsity Tutors. They are very flexible, adaptable, and able to work with our varying schedule and needs. I would unhesitatingly recommend VT to anyone. Yes, you could be lucky and find an independent tutor, but if you want an organization which has a deep bench of tutors for all needs and personalities it is just more effective to work with VT.

My tutor Kenneth helped break down the subject material and helped me so much. The online platform Varsity Tutors uses really enhances the learning in a one on one setting. Definitely worth the money if you need help with a class you struggle with. I am bad at math, but Kenneth was able to help me not only pass my class, but put out A level work. He helped me with both algebra and statistics and was able to fill in the blanks my instructor could not. Sometimes one on one instruction is what is needed. If you have the money or if you care about your GPA, I would recommend using varsity tutors for that extra help in class you struggle with.

Using Cohri's method, I am able to speak so much more comfortably than before. Previously, I was timid, for I mainly studied vocabulary. Her method involves taking the language one portion at a time. The pace made me feel immensely self-assured. I have taken weekly lessons for only a few months, but I am now able to speak descriptive and useful sentences! Before switching to these lessons with Cohri, I took Japanese language lessons for nearly three years. Even then, I was too nervous to speak to anyone. My lessons now have brought up the courage in me that I lacked earlier. Learning Japanese is one of my greatest passions. I am so proud and eager to share my knowledge with others.
Cohri has given me so much courage. The lessons with her make the language so enjoyable to learn, it's all I ever think about! I thank Cohri so much for giving me the opportunity and comfort to learn a language and culture I have been interested in for years. The practice involves a textbook that is very detailed in the explanation of the Japanese language. It helps me not only speak the Japanese but also understand the reasoning behind it. This method and practice has made me so confident in myself to continue with the language!

Not only did he continue to learn during the pandemic, but actually enjoyed his tutor sessions, never once complaining.
