Varsity Tutors Reviews

I purchased tutoring services for a refugee teenager who earned a division I college basketball scholarship but her first attempt at the ACT resulted in a score of 12. After almost a year of tutoring and three more test attempts she got her score up to the minimum to accept her full-ride scholarship. We used two tutors, Alex ** and Lu **. Both have experience with ENL learners. Alex did sessions online and Lu worked with her the last weeks in face-to-face tutoring sessions. I was extremely impressed with their communication with me about session times and scheduling, work habits and cultural communication issues with our teenager. I had a contact person at VT that was available regularly and touched base with me about our progress and frustrations. I am a social worker and educator myself and would recommend Varsity Tutors to others.

Working with Varsity Tutors was a very positive experience for me. They were professional from the start, and kept their promise. My first tutor was not a good fit, so they gave me the session free, and found me a perfect fit the same week. The tutor I worked with was patient and flexible, and helped me reach my goals.

Orlando ** asked for information beforehand so he could customize our session more specifically. He went right to the issues and concerns I had and made the session both very educational & insightful, as well as meaningful for what I needed to understand about QuickBooks Online and accounting in general. His follow up with additional materials aided in my doing additional tasks focused specifically on those things I needed to do. Overall, a very efficient session! Thanks Orlando!

My son has really enjoyed his sessions with Anwen and there has been a real improvement in this course work and attitude to learning English. He thinks Anwen is very good - patient, explains things well and very knowledgeable - thank you.

Varsity Tutors is a respectable, friendly, helpful, dedicated company. They are some of the most helpful, friendly people who are there for you. They paired me with a perfect tutor (Kimberly **) who helped me greatly. They work with you on convenient times for you and and are always there for support. I would have never made it without God and Varsity Tutors! I plan to use them this summer and know that I will be successful with their help!!

My son was struggling with his SAT/ACT. Varsity Tutors made a world of difference. I didn't know know them from anywhere! I found them on the internet and it's been a wonderful experience. Our account office Steffen ** was exceptional. When my daughter in college was having difficulty with her computer aided design classes Steffen came to the rescue. It was like an SOS. He matched her with a tutor within 24 hours. So tutoring wasn't just my high schooler but also for my kid in college. Steffen has been a great resource for my college bound son! Steffen went out of his way to make sure everything was okay with the tutoring. He called me severally in Nigeria to follow up on my son and daughter's progress. My son finally got multiple admissions from almost failing her CAD classes. My daughter aced her CAD course. My experience with Steffen is exceptional. I would recommend Varsity Tutors to families that require for tutoring for their kids.

I was hesitant to use an online tutor, but my daughter’s school and work schedule made it extra stressful to drive to a tutor locally. You cannot beat the convenience and the results! Holly went up 150 points. This happened in a short period of time. She worked with Wesley ** - a tutor through Varsity Tutors. Wesley tutored Holly six hours on math over a 2 week period. His help combined with her diligence brought the results needed. The staff at Varsity Tutors is also very helpful. I believe they genuinely desire success for the kids reaching out to them for help.

I had an incredible experience with Varsity and with my tutor John. It is extremely easy to schedule tutoring in according to your schedule and you’ll see results quickly. The tutors are very knowledgeable and will undoubtedly help you achieve your goals. I would recommend varsity to anyone!

Unfortunately, I met two inexperienced IB tutors, and they don't use organized materials/books to teach. They sometimes are late for the online sessions, and they may cut off your session time with extras without letting you know. When you try to contact some of the staffs, they always pretend not be there and don't answer your phone calls. That's why I am disappointed.

I have had an excellent experience with your Tutor Program. From the Director (Carl) to each Tutor, I was very impressed by their role in assisting my daughter with her work. My daughter is back on track in school with only a short period of time, and it is because of the patience and hard work your Tutors provided. They made it fun, and they didn't mind me asking question when they were tutoring my daughter. Job well done. Your Staff is topnotch and awesome in what they do. I will definitely spread the word to other kids whom might need assistance. Respectfully, Wardell **.

I’m in a PhD program and I had some private tutors from school who I was not so happy with. They weren’t knowledgeable enough so I googled and I found Varsity Tutors. They were the first one I contacted and I have been using them since July or August of last year. I have one tutor so far. Her name is Deborah and I have nothing but great things to say about her. She’s knowledgeable and she has a PhD herself. She takes time to explain to me some of the basic things that I’ve been missing. When it’s not tutoring sessions and I send an email, I get a response immediately which is very much different from my professors. Also, if she doesn’t know something because my field is very specialized, she admits it and we work things out together. She helped me to go through my written prelim which I passed in October and I would’ve not been able to do it without her.

Every Wednesday, I have an hour and a half long session with Ryan. We usually start out with my homework for the day. I explain to him a question on my worksheet. Then we both simultaneously work on finding the answer. If I have difficulty solving, I ask him about it and he always has a detailed and helpful explanation.

We tried to do an online tutoring but that didn’t work for us. Varsity Tutors was recommended by a friend and they have been very receptive. They understood our concerns. We found somebody that came to the house but I didn’t like that person and my daughter wasn’t really learning. Varsity Tutors found us a different tutor and we’ve loved that tutor, and we’ve had that same tutor. They are constantly listening to the parents, to our concerns and what we needed, which I really like. Our experience has been nothing but positive.

We signed up for $500 worth of Spanish tutoring for our 8th grader. The first tutor didn’t show up, turns out she didn’t have a reliable car and decided the drive to our house was too far. Strike one. Varsity Tutors suggested we try the online platform while they identify an alternate tutor for our in person sessions. We set up a time and waited, the tutor was a no show and we were not provided an explanation. Strike Two.

Our daughter Anya was testing at the bottom of her class in spelling and reading and falling behind the rest of her class. With the help of Varsity Tutors Anya is now in the top percentile in her class and is enjoying learning. A special thanks to her tutor.

I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with Varsity Tutors. Babatunde ** is one of the best tutors I have ever had. He is extremely intelligent, punctual, professional, and goes the extra mile to ensure that I am achieving my goals. He has been helping me study for the project management exam, but I know he tutors several other subject areas. If you have the opportunity to work with him, do it! He is phenomenal!

I had a lengthy telephone conversation with Dax weeks ago. He explained the program, discussed recommendations and the way forward for my child. We were excited and expected to receive follow up information on when to begin and then... Nothing. No followup at all. Perhaps may have been a good option, but unfortunately, we'll never know.

We could not be more thrilled with our Varsity Tutors experience. My daughter is getting excellent SAT instruction from her tutor, Gabrielle. Gabrielle makes it easy for her to understand Math problems that she struggles with and gives useful feedback on the practice tests. I cannot speak highly enough about how this business is run. They contact you regularly to make sure you are happy with the service and the tutor you've been assigned. And they are quick to respond to any questions. Thanks so much for a great experience!

We analyzed a few tutoring options and Varsity Tutors was the most flexible and reasonably priced. So, we went with them. Our tutor, Roy, was exceptional and their staff overall was equally exceptional. Initially, they paired us up with a tutor that seemed like he was not gonna be a fit because he said was a social media wizard and that's not what I need to be taught to my son, Travis. I need him to learn the material so was frustrated with that and I immediately called up Varsity Tutors. They rectified it and they gave us Roy. Roy has been perfect and I don't know what my son's score would have been with or without him, but I can tell that Travis' confidence level boosted meaningfully and he's be practicing for two hours every time he’d see Roy. The combined practice plus the hands-on tutoring ended up positively. All in all, the learning experience since obtaining a tutor from Varsity is great and I would recommend them.

I needed somebody that was gonna have college-level tutors for my son and went to Varsity Tutors. My son's tutor now, Jim, has been just phenomenal. Every instance after they have a tutoring session and they do it on the phone, he sends the notes immediately. There was a program that he and my son were working on for computer science last semester and he continued to look at it after him being done with the session. So I just feel as though he’s really on top of things and his way of explaining things is great. My son was doing very well in computer science anyway, but really wanted somebody to just reinforce things. And this guy’s way of teaching is very good.

I started with Varsity Tutors about a year ago when my older son was struggling in reading, writing and just being able to express what he wanted to write on paper. I tried a couple other tutoring services, but it wasn’t quite as focused as I needed it to be and it wasn’t as individualized. I gave Varsity Tutors a try. The tutor that we got really got to know my child, understood how to drum out and have him think about ideas. And his grade in that class went from a B- to a B+ within a couple months. I continued the tutoring for him over the summer, and I started having my younger son do it in the summer too. Not because they needed it, but just to maintain and keep them in practice. My older son has actually not been doing much tutoring over the last two months. He hasn’t needed it and he is getting an A in English. And I think it has a lot to do with the skills that she taught him a year ago.

Varsity Tutors has pretty high reviews and it was simple and easy for me to use. They were all really good about helping me get the service that I needed, as well as helping me out on price. It was a pretty good experience overall. I felt like they were really trying to help me. They gave me this overall better view of how statistics all work together. I got the big picture which helped a lot with most of my stuff. They brought me up from a D to a B, so it was very successful. I was just extremely satisfied. And if I need a tutor again, I’m gonna use Varsity.

I wanted to get some help quickly. I read through the website and Varsity Tutors looked like a very reasonable service, so I gave it a try. Their staff was efficient at getting us signed up and they were on the aggressive side to get us hooked in. The first tutor had a very strong accent and his English was hard for my children to understand. He also stepped above their limits, made them feel inferior, and I don't think being a good tutor means making your student feel bad. And then he said that his camera wasn't working and that was weird because my children were supposed to see their tutor. So, it was pretty bad.

Varsity Tutors was the first tutoring option we had for my child who's eight years old. I chose them because I could do several different subjects without having to pay a separate amount. The other place I was looking for would only do one subject for the amount of money. My daughter has ADHD and she’s a bit anxious as well. She was having problems with reading and catching up because she didn’t have the proper medication when she started in school, so she fell behind. We got the tutor for that and her reading has become great. She comes home with other school work too and the tutor, Elizabeth, helps her with that but also helps her stay on task. She’s wonderful and so much more patient than I am, even as a mother. She redirects her and gives her proper breaks. Everything’s perfect. My daughter definitely got the confidence that she didn’t have before. I am happy with Varsity.

I was traveling a lot and I liked the online platform Varsity Tutors had. It was for test prep and everybody there was very communicative. The tutor that we worked with was extremely positive and approached feedback from a positive way. I would recommend them.

My daughter Olivia has a great working relationship with her Honors Geometry tutor, Engin **. He has done an effective job assessing her abilities and identifying areas for her to address and improve with regard to her math experience. He understands her situation, brings creative ideas to their sessions and boosts her self confidence. I'm very pleased with our experience.

Varsity Tutors was the first tutoring we tried. It has been mostly for me but there had been two incidents where it was for my sister when she needed some statistics help for her masters. Their people were very organized and professional. They were on top of it and worked very quickly. I really liked how the representative I worked with got every little detail written down. They knew exactly what I need and the person that they paired me up matches well. Since using Varsity, I am less confused in class. Also, my stress level is significantly lower because I understand the material and I can get assignments done a lot faster.

My daughter has a slight learning disability and she has a tutor at Varsity. She is doing it online and it has been very great. Her tutor has been helping her go over the information again and process it all out. It is to kind of reinforce and if she has any questions, she can clarify them. The tutoring has been very beneficial for her as she wouldn’t have been able to understand the material if it wasn’t for the tutor.

The Varsity Tutors platform is easy to use and to connect with a tutor for my daughter. We've been using them for close to two years now and it's like a Match.com but for students who need a little help and to connect them with college or graduate students that have an expertise in the subject. We started when my high school daughter needed help with Spanish. We've also used it for Algebra 2, Physics, Chemistry and Calculus. Every tutor that we've been paired with has had a knowledgeable base of the subject, showed up on time and stayed the whole time. And the Varsity Tutor employees touch base with me by phone every month or so to make sure things are going well.

We're making way more progress with Varsity Tutors than we were with our previous tutoring option. Before, we were just using a private tutor who was an acquaintance in our neighborhood, and I felt we had reached her extent of expertise and we needed additional help. So I started looking online and found Varsity Tutors. I investigated a little bit, and I got a phone call from them, and their price was reasonable compared to the other competitors.

I've used the Wyzant app to find tutors, and have also done the free tutoring that my school offered. They were good for my in-person classes, but I have been taking some complicated upper-level Science classes online through UC Berkeley extension. And so, it's a lot more difficult to find a tutor for Genetics, Immunology and Biochemistry, especially in person. With Varsity Tutors, I like the convenience of doing the online and instant tutoring sessions. Their online platform or the instant tutoring that I can do with my tutor is extremely helpful. Also with online tutoring, it saves our videos. So, I can go back and rewatch our session, which is super helpful if I’m later doing something and need to go back and try to remember what was said or how we did something. That’s really convenient.

My 12-year old son uses Varsity Tutor weekly to help his comprehension of historical information in his history class. I communicate with his tutor weekly to frontload classroom assignments and present needs. We have a great system that works well. The technology is a plus and hasn’t failed us.

My son booked regular sessions with Kathy for both Chem I and Chem II. She was able to explain and work out problems for any concept for which he wanted extra help. She also was familiar with all the labs and helped him prepare for them ahead of time. Kathy could easily teach a college chemistry class. The standardized final exam included material not covered in class so she taught additional concepts to improve his overall score. My son greatly enjoyed his time with her and her tutoring was essential to his top grades in chemistry.

Daphne was a fantastic tutor. She was very knowledgeable on accounting and focused on wanting to teach concepts and introduce them first before just jumping into problems and learning that way. She made herself extremely available and was super helpful during finals and important tests to schedule sessions. In terms of material, she always knew the answers and explanations for each problem. Highly recommend.

I used Varsity Tutors to help me with anatomy and physiology. I worked with Samantha who was really helpful. She is the reason that I passed the course and did as well as I did. She explained everything to me in my own time. We worked through the computer, but she would draw out everything she was talking about and the processes of everything and help me to visualize it, which was very helpful. Depending on where you live, you might have to work with somebody through the computer. They’re definitely a very good service though.

My 9 year old daughter experienced severe bullying at her school, because of this, I was forced to homeschool. I am not an educator by trade and tried my best to get her focus off the surrounding elements and more on her studies as she experienced a drastic decline due to the bullying. I reached out to Varsity Tutoring for help. Paid their fees and developed a schedule. Around 24 hours later I received an email from the tutor whom had accepted the block, however he had rescheduled me for hours later. I declined the change and reached out to Varsity Tutors who informed me that I needed to contact the tutor directly. I contacted the tutor who advised me that he already had a client he had been working with previously and could not change their schedule to fit mine. He advised me to contact the 800 number. I did so again and was advised that they would provide me with a different tutor. I waited and nothing.

My experience with Varsity Tutors has been good. I just started my MBA program and it was convenient over the internet to meet virtually and using new technology. I studied computers, and Varsity Tutors has helped me with the content as well as through several classes and passing exams. I'm using them this semester as well. They could improve in getting specialized tutors. For my program, I take a lot of specialized classes, and I feel like a lot of the tutors aren’t qualified to teach those classes. Nevertheless, making a good relationship with the tutor, setting up appointments and being proactive about it, and finding the resources that students wanna cover in the appointments ahead of time are the keys to being successful with Varsity Tutors.

Hi. Whilst we are happy with your office and people we chat to, not to say, our wonderful tutors, your dashboard is not good. Every time we have a session something goes wrong. Sometimes I call but mostly we go to FaceTime. We had a session yesterday where the tutors video went blank for 10 mins. Then came back and I thought why were doing maintenance? We lose previous time if we had to call why. The rest is good. Thanks.

I live in Arizona and I needed a tutor for the first month of the scholar year and for the summer for my oldest because she was having problems with the reading and writing. A tutor I used two years ago on a different city looked online and showed me Varsity Tutor's website. One of my kids is in first grade and the other one is in Pre-K. I told my eldest to focus more on the reading and writing, so that’s what they do and also first-grade subjects for the first month including Math. Then, for the little one, it was just the basic stuff from Pre-K like the ABC. He improved a lot because he knows the whole ABC and he didn’t use to know all the letters, so the tutor helped me a lot with that. And he started with all the phonics and the numbers and all the basic Pre-K things that they learn. When they transitioned to this school because the school already began, they weren’t too behind of the other kids, so it was good. I definitely recommend Varsity Tutors.

My experience with Varsity Tutors has been really great. It has been about 10 months since I started, and my tutor has been a very motivating personnel. He's been of great help to my improvement and learning Spanish. Varsity Tutors was one of my first options that I found regarding the subject. They accommodated me very well, and they had a very organized and good system going on. They put in the effort to get me my tutor, and the great thing about that is we have so many similarities as far as our learning abilities. Our learning styles are pretty much very similar. So that helped us bring out the best of our courses,and the way that he teaches. So it's just been very efficient. I would highly recommend my family or friends to try Varsity Tutors.

I had a tutor from Wyzant and Varsity Tutors was much better. It was very specific to my needs. It really gave me more concrete things that I needed to work on so that was really nice. My tutor, Alex, was really great. He gauged where I was at by us going through some practice tests. And then he would give me homework assignments and we would go over them during our lessons. He gave me practice problems that would be focused on what I struggled with a lot, which was really helpful.

After studying with his English tutor after only 6 weeks. They met 1 x per week. After studying with his Science Tutor his ACT went from 27 to 30 in just 5 weeks! The staff is easy to work with, and our case manager really kept an eye on us. Once I got over my initial fear of using an online format I realized the benefit of being able to connect even while we traveled! Thank you tutors, and thank you staff!

I had other tutors that I had looked at in the area. I know Huntington, a big tutoring place around here but what engaged me to join Varsity Tutors is the flexibility with the school schedule, and I didn’t have to leave. With everything being online now for most of my classes, I felt like it was a better option all in all to splurge the money on them. The pricing was very good. For the tools that they offer and the convenience of it all it was really worth the money. The first tutor that I was paired with was great. It was the second week of the semester that I looked into them since I’ve been looking at other options. And since we were in the second week of the semester, he kind of did work on like a slower pace. But I was doing a chapter a day with these classes and I really needed to work at more of a fast pace.

Varsity Tutors was referred by our neighbors and my son’s friend, and I was very impressed with the account management. When I expressed interest, someone contacted me right away and they walked me through the process. I think the online approach makes it easy for everyone, and with that online approach, timing can be very flexible. I also thought that the rates are affordable for what you get.

We wanted to prepare our middle school daughter for the SSAT in order to switch schools. We paid for something like 8 to 10 sessions and were paired with a tutor. The first tutor simply never returned our calls or efforts to sign up. The second tutor responded to our efforts for appointments, but was chronically late [sometimes by as much as 20 minutes] and would only let us know last minute by email, if at all, which made it impossible to reschedule. On two occasions, there were tech glitches and no one ever returned our calls to try and reschedule. At one point, the tutor just never showed up and didn't bother to contact us. We continued to have more problems with the next tutors assigned to us. I will never use this company again, despite the free hours they gave us. I just want my money back.

My daughter needed tutoring and we decided to use Varsity. The first tutor lost connection during sessions and ended up trying to tutor my daughter over the phone. We switched tutors and the next tutor did not know the information. The problem was never solved. I recurved e tea credit towards another tutor but after multiple failed attempts I just wanted my money back. Which I did not get. It was a complete waste of time and money. Beware!

I was looking for a tutor and Varsity Tutors was one of the first tutoring services that popped up on Google. I liked the online aspect because ithe tutoring was for me and my two other friends, so being able to meet anywhere was very convenient for us. The interactions that we’ve had with our tutor were standard. He would call in and set up a time with us. He was very flexible and worked well with our schedule. We would have our video call and he was great about answering all our questions and explaining things in a way that our teacher didn’t. For me personally, the tutoring helped a bit, although my problem was more in memorization than in understanding the concepts. But my friends found it super helpful and beneficial. I would recommend Varsity Tutors.

We had done some ad hoc in-person stuff but Varsity Tutors has higher quality. I went with them and the tutors whom I’ve used for the kids have been exceptional. They're more up-to-date. They already knew everything. It was better for the kids. However, I had one bad tutor with Varsity Tutors, but it was my fault for picking the wrong person. My daughter was already skeptical about using online, and then we just didn’t use it. Still, we reselected somebody later, and this person has been perfect.

I typed into Google about Math tutors near me and Varsity Tutors popped up to the Wentzville area. I looked at it, and it said there is an office in St. Louis. All their reviews seemed good, and everything seemed legitimate about it. Everyone who I talked to at Varsity Tutors was awesome. I also had a decent experience every time I called them. They were very helpful, especially the initial person I talked to out in the St. Louis office. His name is Rob and he was really fantastic. He understood what I was trying to do and what I needed to get through so I can keep on pursuing my degree and get past the Math class.

When I was looking for a group that was a sort of learning situation that would be nearby but there wasn't any that fir our schedule. Then, Varsity Tutors came up and I signed up my daughter with them. She has one tutor the whole time who has been great. She’s able to be flexible and she's good with kids. She tries new and different things in order to keep my daughter engaged and she's doing well. Initially when the tutor spoke in French to her, she would answer it in English or single words in French. But now, she will answer whole sentences in French or at least maybe try to do French. She might mix up some words which doesn’t work but she's much more responsive in the language now.

Wonderful sales pitch, aggressive follow up. When I committed to my daughter’s SAT tutoring for ~$1,000, my husband and I felt the financial sacrifice would be an ultimate investment. My daughter loved her tutor. She was diligent in her tutoring sessions, completed practice exams on her own time, utilized their resources they provided, and studied with fidelity during her free time. She went into the exam confident and excited.

I was looking for an online tutoring service to help my 10th grade son in geometry. Varsity tutoring service is amazing. They are able to help my son feel very comfortable and at ease. I was so amazed the way he connected and interacted with the tutor Gaurav **. My son is a very shy, quiet and do not ask questions at school. The tutor Gaurav knew exactly what my son needed help with and was able to pull questions from him with ease. He was able to help him by the type of questions my son was asking. My son was so comfortable. I am very pleased with the technology and the way it is utilized to help him work with the tutor as if they were face to face. The technology is AMAZING. I am able to review the session at my leisure after I get off work. The tutor gave a critique of the session as well.

Everyone, from the people answering phones to the tutors are dedicated to each person's success. The ability to find a tutor and have access to so many who are knowledgeable in an individualist area of study is especially unique. Having specialized tutors at your fingertips in the comfort of your own home helps when students are struggling with concepts. Most tutors are by appointment and can’t always be available when needed prior to tests. Varsity Tutors makes support possible anytime needed. I would recommend to anyone who needs help.

I would definitely recommend Varsity Tutors. When I was interacting with the person that set me up with the tutor, she figured out what tutor was best for me. She did a really great job. The first tutor she set me up with was the perfect person. My tutor's name was Andrea, and she was absolutely fantastic. She had a fairly free schedule. She met with me when I needed to. She was really open if I needed to move things around. She emailed me and would keep in touch with me to help me prepare for whatever was next, or I'd let her know when I needed to review first. She was really great with that.

Using Varsity Tutors was one of the best investments we made for my children to have confidence and get their smiles back. With them performing so well on their tests is truly a testimonial that this is working. My 9th grade daughter was looking to find a Biology tutor. That was an immediate need, and so I didn't have a lot of time to find a referral or look at other sites. Varsity just popped up on a Facebook page. We set up everything in the system and my daughter was paired off to one person but that didn't work out. Then, she got Melody and that was terrific. My daughter just got her Biology final test yesterday and she got a 97 on the free response questions. It was the highest grade in all of the four Biology classes. The next highest grade was an 88. Nobody in her class got an A, and for her to get a 97, even the professor commended her.

Varsity Tutors took immediate action to resolve this situation. I am satisfied with the resolution and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone. I will definitely be using them myself again in the near future!

I'm very satisfied with Varsity Tutors. I had a different tutoring before but that wasn’t near as good as Varsity. With my prior one, I wasn’t getting what I actually needed because I only had one tutor so I wasn't getting enough out of it. With Varsity, I'm able to have interactions with the tutors to show me exactly where I'm going wrong at and it's more at a personal level. My instructors showed me how to go in and look at and work on a problem, whichever it was. At first I thought that I couldn't do it, but once they showed me how or some of the things that I needed to do, that made me think for myself. I had Jenna and she was very good.

My objective was for my son not to flunk this particular class and that he's gonna graduate high school. He can't get lower than a C either because it's gonna impact his scholarship. Varsity Tutors had an online component which is necessary for my son’s schedule and they were extremely highly-rated. My son has a lot of time commitments, so we needed to make sure we could have something available. The tutor that we're using at Varsity Tutors is fantastic. I've had interactions with him because we have to schedule, we communicate on certain issues, plus I hear him. I make my son take the tutoring session in front of me so I hear their entire interactions. His ability to teach is phenomenal. The level that he is taking my son to is just a lot more than we expected. It's also very cost effective. It doesn’t involve my son driving or somebody coming over here. They're interacting visually, so it's great.

My daughter had the after-school program and they did other things. I thought the program was for her to help her with what she was lacking in school, but it actually wasn’t. It was just something extra for her, and she wasn’t getting the attention that she needed, so I went with Varsity Tutors. Everything is going great with them and the rep there has been doing a great job with my daughter. There has been a lot of improvement and a lot of feedback that she has given me, and I appreciate the time that she is spending with my daughter with certain subjects that she is having trouble with. My daughter is improving her grades in school and it is showing in her work. I would definitely recommend Varsity Tutors.

I had a really good experience with Varsity Tutors. It was really positive and Varsity Tutors helped significantly. My child got help in Reading and Math. He became more confident and his grades went up. Varsity Tutors is pricey but I would recommend them.

Two years ago, we started with Varsity for my oldest son and then my middle child used them for her SAT prep work and some other studies. And for about four weeks now, we're using them for my 8th grader, Celia, primarily covering Algebra. Compared to the previous tutoring that we had, Varsity is 100% better. It's one-on-one and my daughter is able to ask questions if she doesn’t understand something. She also feels comfortable that even if she doesn’t understand it after asking once, she can ask again as many times as she needs to, which I really appreciate. She doesn’t feel like she's being deemed stupid because she doesn’t understand something.

I had a few tutors with Varsity Tutors but Kate was very consistent. She offered a lot of help, so we stuck with her for so long. She was helping my child with his English and his writing, and he made honor roll. So, she really got deep with him. If he did something that wasn't right, or he said something that was wrong, she broke it down for him so that he could understand it in a different way. When he got to that specific subject, he could channel it the correct way. She was hands-on and he misses Kate. His reading has improved and even the way he speaks. If he said something that was wrong, he would correct himself and he has been doing that a lot. Varsity Tutors should keep doing what they’re doing. They are expensive but my child had a great learning experience.

I researched and spent some time online and I found Varsity. I got as much information as I could and I was satisfied with my initial research that Varsity would be helpful. Then, I spoke to them and one thing led to another. I worked on the FINRA Securities 79 exam Investment Banking with my tutor and we meticulously covered just about everything there was to learn, top to bottom - videos, study pages, explanations. They were all an hour and a half sessions so it was a combination of really going through every aspect of it, discussing it, and giving me assignments. It was a really on mark and very comprehensive approach.

I'm a student of Engineering and my Math is very important to my GPA. I searched on Google and Varsity Tutors was the first option on the list. I searched reviews, got an overall feel for what they might be offering and then I went from there. In class, the teacher teaches as fast as he can and if somebody asks a question, that’s fine. If not, then he's talking out loud as he does it. With my tutor James, he lets me say what I think needs to happen next, and if not, he corrects me quickly so I don’t form any bad habit. We worked through things together that way.

I have a visually impaired son that gets assistance from the Foundation of Blind Children who employ Varsity Tutors. They put us in touch with a tutor out of Milwaukee, WI. Her name is the "Good Doctor JH". What a joke. She was so out of line it was not funny. Calling my visually impaired son's university professor and telling him lies to make herself look good while simultaneously placing my son in a precarious position with the university and his professor. Totally unprofessional and uses profanity while instruction. Rude and hung up on us and then called back. She called my son's vision impairment, "a ** entitlement!" and she was tired of it. AVOID Jill **. Varsity is good overall and has assured us they will find another qualified tutor.

Varsity Tutors has been wonderful. With them, I have a more convenient schedule and their price is less compared to my child's previous tutors. The guy we have at Varsity Tutors has also been great. We were able to choose the type of personality of our tutor and we wanted a guy who was sort of funny, which is what all boys want. Plus, my son would not respond well to a very strict woman. I am a woman and a teacher myself and I know how he would respond.

Somebody told me to use Varsity Tutors if we needed tutoring. I googled it, then I bought some hours for the tutorial at Varsity Tutors. My daughter had an awesome experience with Peter for the tutorial for the SAT test. I also bought a number of hours to tutor for her AP classes, which is for Calculus and English. Varsity Tutors is very active in sending information if I still need it so that one doesn’t remove from my mind that that's the only company I need. It was up to the expectation. With Peter, they wanted to match the need of my daughter and they are focused on the tutorial in the Math area.

We got Varsity Tutors and had our son tutored in Mandarin. They were really good and flexible, and they addressed our goals and worked with us to see that everything went well. His tutor was fantastic. She regularly worked with my son. Once or twice a week, they had an appointment and she helped him with his homework. She worked with him on the language itself, and she had the same workbook that they used in class so she was able to be consistent with what he was experiencing in his classroom. She was also very concerned that he understood everything and she made it fun for him. My son enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my son is in a new school and they don’t have Mandarin, so he's not continuing that. But given the opportunity, he'd like to continue it.

I would not recommend Varsity Tutors for any test related tutoring. Spent hundreds of dollars only for our daughters SAT score to go down. She did two hours of tutoring each day for six days leading up to the test. She felt more confident, but was devastated when her scores came back. Her tutor was very nice, and seemed to know what he was doing, but my daughter was his first one he has ever tutored through Varsity Tutors.

UPDATED-- They have been very accommodating and pleasant. They have called several times to reach out. They offered multiple solutions that works with us ie extending the refund date. setting up other tutors, or a simple refund. I still requested a refund and its in the process. I will update this review if refund is not received. Or may need to do another post as I dont believe I can edit this post.

I was online looking for tutors and Varsity Tutors looked good. I called them and I was impressed with the people who answered the phone. You could tell they were educated, and I just got a good feel from them. I explained to them my situation, and then over the course of two weeks, they were trying to find a match ‘cause what we were looking was for my son with special needs. He has Asperger’s, as well as OCD and ADHD. He wanted to learn to code, but he didn’t know what kind of coding. Varsity Tutors stayed in close contact and let me know that they were working on it. And then, when they found a match, they sent me her profile for me to approve or not.

Virginia worked with me to come to an acceptable resolution of our issue. She listened to my concerns and provided a variety of options for us to consider. I found her to be helpful and, more importantly, genuinely concerned about my daughter's academic success.

I was primarily interested in the instant tutoring i.e. you have a problem and can get help from whoever is online. I asked about 3 subject areas for the instant tutoring and they claimed they were all available for instant tutoring. I signed up, it turns out that not only were the subjects not available for instant tutoring, they did not have any tutors for those areas. They then claimed they would get someone for one of the subjects. After 10 days of various promises I gave up and requested a refund. This turned out to be a brutal affair. Each time I requested a refund they would come back with 'let me tell you about other options.' Although they have a 30 day refund policy, I am not holding my breath.

We went with Varsity through recommendations and the tutor we had was wonderful. We love her very much. She was very caring and very patient and our child had advanced in his school studies.

I’m a single mom and I look at raising my son differently than a mother who has a father at home who teaches math. Varsity Tutors was referred by my nephew. He used multiple tutors and said that Varsity was neat. It also goes with my lifestyle and the needs, so I went for it. So far, my son has been going one-on-one with his ESL teacher who is teaching math, too.

Over the last 6 months I have dealt with at least 8 different tutors from Varsity. At first everything was great, my son (17) worked with a tutor he liked for about 1 1/2 months to review for the US History AP. Suddenly 10 days before the exam, the tutor had a "personal" issue and he could no longer work for Varsity. Fine, that does happen, and I felt lucky that Varsity would quickly draw on their thousands of tutors to find someone new. The next guy spoke English with such a thick accent, he was impossible to follow. Basically the test was over before they could locate a suitable replacement. Later in the summer I asked Varsity to locate a tutor to work with my son on his college essays and they introduced us to Anna. She was a good match for the task except that very quickly her availability (after about one week) diminished as she was starting another job.

There were a couple different tutoring companies in our area but Varsity Tutors was better for us because we could schedule it whenever my daughter needed it, which was helpful. As far as scheduling when no one had to come to our home, she didn't have to go anywhere so the convenience of being able to be at home was such a huge benefit. We also get a lot of teachers and college students working in the field that seem to know what they're talking about and have a good perspective on things.

When I was looking for a tutor for my son's ACT, I researched and found a couple perfect tutors based on the description of their experience, availability and locations. It says to contact the tutor. The tutor does not contact you, the company does and they tell you the tutor you selected is not available and they assign the tutor.

I asked my friend if she knows any tutoring options because we are in a very small town and I cannot find any good tutors for myself. She told me she is on Varsity Tutors and she bought a lot of hours and that I get discounts. I said I would try it and it’s super helpful. It takes lots of responsibilities for a student, and they are very active after the session. I had a consultation with my mom we thought I was not going to take SAT subject test for the two subjects anymore because I’m not very good at them. But Richard did a very good job teaching. The tutors have experiences or they are really good at those subjects and really can help. In the future, if I still need some help, I will still go Varsity Tutors.

Varsity Tutors was the only one who could come up with a AP Civics tutor. We had one session with a tutor we didn’t like, but they gave us two additional options. We picked another one and it was perfect. It was a high school senior working with a PhD student, and she provided him with problems that she had difficulties with. He explained the concepts and helped her develop strategies to understand the problems. He taught her some concepts where there were gaps from her instructor at school. Varsity Tutors is very easy to work with. The customer service is good and they’ve got a very large stable of tutors, so if you don’t like the initial proposal, you can be persistent and ask for somebody else, and they can usually find somebody.

I looked up Varsity Tutors on the internet and they had good reviews, so I contacted them and everyone was very nice, accommodating, and very helpful. I had a very positive learning experience, and the learning was easy and very well facilitated by my tutor. He was great and he helped me understand the subject. He went through an extra mile and sent me information that he had put together. I already finished my course and while I don’t need any more tutoring at this point, I will definitely personally recommend the Varsity Tutors. I already recommended them to my daughter who may be contacting them in the near future.

Our experience with Varsity Tutors was very good. I found them online and when I talked to them, it was a good fit for what my daughter and I needed. We had a different tutoring option prior to Varsity and it was like night and day. Everybody at Varsity was working really hard with our last-minute schedule changes because it was my daughter's senior year. Her teacher did a great job and was patient with her when she did not understand. There was a bit of an interpersonal relationship because he helped my daughter through a struggle. Moreover, he was very understanding in the material and a lot of times, he was better than her teacher at some things.

My son used Varsity Tutors for nine months and his grade went from failing to a high B. The tutor was very friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and he knew how to reach him. He was a great tutor. I would definitely refer my friends to Varsity Tutors.

This is an online service, why is there no indication of the currency you are paying at any time? For this price, I expected a more seamless process and to have access to experienced accountants. The staff is very friendly and proactive, it seems they do their best to help but I felt compelled to defend myself in my decision to close my account.

Around two years back, Varsity Tutors had some promotion going on and I thought to try it. I like their flexibility and how they were able to arrange the tutors in a short time period because a lot of times, the kids don't realize and don't plan well ahead of time. By the time they want to get a tutor, it's not always possible to find one really quickly. My son went with a lot of tutors 'cause he did for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, although he liked a few tutors more than others. I had some balance in the account and I told my niece if she would like to try one session, and she did the SAT Biology. Overall, it was a good experience. My son and my niece benefited a lot from it, and it was what we expected.

When I went to Varsity Tutors' website, it caught my attention. I looked around and decided, and everything worked for me, so I went for it. We had them for a month for 10 hours for my son's SAT and his SAT score improved a lot. They were very helpful. The tutor knows what the students need to give the right advice and help him to improve the skill of how to take the test and analyze everything he needs. The tutor assigned some practice for my son and he did all the practice. They walked through all the questions he answered and if he did not get the correct answer, they would analyze what was the reason for the wrong answers. A lot of times when we try to set up the schedule, the requests were short notice but the tutor responded very well and fast.

I had issues with two of the tutors, however, the company was professional and reached out to me and resolved the issue quickly and promptly.

I looked around at some different vendors but did not do any real use of offerings other than what the school offered like internal tours. Varsity Tutors had really good practices of figuring out the student and then adopting a learning program for that particular student. It was very specific to have that person run. Their tutor would review my daughter's student needs, go over the courses that my daughter needed help with, then basically getting back with them over what the program might look like in terms if they have online materials coupled with a real person they can interact with.

I am very pleased that Varsity Tutors was able to resolve my issues. Virginia ** was very helpful and accommodating.

Varsity Tutors has been really helpful and they're responsive. They follow up too. They have tutors that can come to our home. They got to us when it was a critical time. We needed them right away, and they identified Toby and made the introduction quickly. All of my interactions with them had been really good. We had Toby all last year and we’re set up for a session this school year. My son needed him for Physics last year and a little bit for Math this year. He's awesome and he had been really helpful to my son. He had given him practical information, explained the concepts in a way that my son could understand it, and had shown him how it was applicable in real life. My son's grade went up significantly in Physics. He went from a D to B.

I am new in the country. English is not my first language. So, I struggled with English ACT test. I had 19 in Reading, after the tutoring sections I went up to 24. My previous composite was 23 now is 25. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors. Sarah ** my tutor, is a very qualified tutor. I highly recommend her.

Though I had trouble with initially finding a tutor who felt comfortable teaching the material I needed to learn, Varsity Tutors' concierge team was wonderful in finding me a qualified tutor quickly. Sometimes the turn-around time was within a few hours. It's a huge relief to know that you have a concierge team looking out for you, especially when you have your classes and other parts of student life to deal with!

Varsity Tutors has really good reviews. On their website, it’s showing that very qualified people are their tutors. So it seemed like a good option for my LSAT. Michael was my tutor and we would email or chat to figure out the time we wanted to meet, then we would meet for two hours. We met five times over about two weeks. He identified some of the weaknesses I had, gave me practice problems, and helped me through how I should be thinking about certain things. He also gave me some tricks that I didn’t know about that helped.

Everything has been rectified satisfactorily.

We decided to try Varsity Tutors because of the reviews I found on the internet. They're professional and patient. They were able to help us very well and I've seen improvement in the test. There has been an increased confidence with schoolwork too. Varsity Tutors is good.

When I used a different tutoring option close to my house, I also did Varsity Tutors at the same time to compare the service. I like Varsity more and decided to stay with them. They are convenient. Tim was so helpful and he moved to get what we needed in time. I have a couple of tutors teaching different kinds of subjects. There were good ones, and there were weird ones, but they helped my kid, Matthew. There was one guy that was teaching him world science and it had to do with history. He was weird but he helped Matthew somehow.

Varsity Tutors had good reviews and they were able to fit our schedules really easily, so I went with them. We had two different tutors there and both were fantastic. They came to the house to work with my daughter. We did one for SATs and we used them for math. They really worked with her on keeping calm, really looking at the different problems, and seeing exactly what the question is instead of being overwhelmed by the question. Also, a rep from their corporate office followed up every week to see how everything was going, if there were any problems, if everything was fine, and if I needed anything from them. It was really good. I would tell others to take a look at Varsity Tutors and go with them because they're really easy to work with.

Varsity Tutors was the first one that came up in my search and I called them on a Saturday. They picked up the phone so I got signed up immediately and it was very straightforward. My children had a couple of different tutor activities. My 21-year-old had French, which was in person to help him get through level 3 French, and then my two younger kids are doing German online as well and one of the kids is doing Reading in person, and they’ve been able to accommodate it all. Initially, I wanted a German tutor that could come to the house, but we haven’t been able to identify anybody in the area and so Varsity Tutors convinced me to try online. I don’t have high hopes for that ‘cause the kids are young but then a year later, we’re still doing it.

ACT Prep - So it wasn't bad but definitely not perfect. The first tutor I had was phenomenal. She was perfect and I felt the most engaged and productive with her. She increased my score by 1 so outside sources believed I should move tutors. Every other tutors were always distracted and I seemed more like a chore to them. Also the program to find one on the go never worked and when it worked the guy left on me because his connection was bad. I won't say the website was bad, I probably just had bad luck but it was a very bad time.

The tutor was awesome. It was an online setup and she was always accessible. Also, she could do the tutoring session early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Moreover, the screen was split that she could pull up my assignment and I could still see what she was doing. That just made it perfect. I was with her for six weeks and I got an A in the subject.

Varsity assisted me on resolving the issue- Debra was sweet and very helpful.

I called Varsity Tutors and asked a lot of questions. Their concept made a lot of sense so I took the leap and went ahead with them. I have had interactions with my son's tutor by email. Her name was Anna and she always gave really good, detailed notes. My son’s a senior in high school and he takes school seriously, so Anna gave me reports on what things he did well in and the things he needs to improve in. She really taught him to understand how the ACT test is mapped out, how to study for it, and how to pace himself better on those tests. It made him a better test taker overall. My son said it was a great experience, and he’s a very opinionated kid. If he doesn’t like something, he’s gonna tell, but he had nothing but praise for Anna.

She was amazing with my daughter! I am super pleased with the results that we have had with her. Our daughter went from reading and speaking at a 4 year old level (at the age of 7) to reading beyond a first grade level which she is currently in!

I'm a single mom who works full-time. I needed to be tutored. Varsity Tutors reached out to me quicker than its competitors and had things in place. They made the liaison seamless and they sent me reminders to go in there and do what I needed to do to get started and select a tutor. When it came to choosing Danielle, it was a no-brainer. Her resume is not ridiculous, so it was wonderful. It was a six-week accelerated advanced Calculus course in the summer. It was six weeks of hell where I got a whole semester of Calculus being crammed in. Then, towards the end at about week four or five, I learned that I was gonna have a major surgery and I had to get the course done.

Last year, I enrolled my oldest daughter, Sophia (13) with Varsity Tutors in order to get help with French and 7th grade Math. Sophia worked with Alexandra ** on French and with Rahul ** on math to include: pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, etc. Sophia absolutely loved working with both of them. She looked forward to her sessions and actually would come home asking me, “ Mom, when am I working with Rahul again?” or “When is my next French session?” When Sophia needed help or had a test she would ask, “Mom, please call Alexandra or (Rahul)… I need help fast!” I mean, when does a kid really look forward to doing algebra? When does a child genuinely laugh, smile and enjoy learning these tougher subjects during sessions that can last up to 1½ hours? But this is how Sophia responded to her online lessons with Varsity Tutors.

Varsity Tutors is very organized and a great organization. They respond quickly and they were the first one that came up that had French. The teacher for the foreign language is excellent. I'm an older adult plus experiencing some difficulties, and he's been helping me do that and making me feel that anybody can learn a language and it's not a bad thing if I'm an adult 'cause I already know a whole lot more. He's patient and he waits for me to respond. He knows that there are a lot of people who have a trepidation learning a new language and so he just reminds that it's not a straight path and there's a lot that you have to do so just take it forward. For anybody who's afraid to study online using all the technology, both Varsity Tutors and my tutor made me feel much more at ease with it. That's a big deal.

Our previous tutor had a limited range of expertise, and we were growing beyond that in terms of course work. Varsity Tutors had a lot more expertise and they were a more affordable option. My daughter loves her tutor. Her Varsity tutor is Ivanna. She's a young adult and she relates a little bit more on a level that they understand in terms of interests. So, she’s relatable for them than our former tutor, who was a school teacher. She enjoys her sessions with Ivanna way more because the environment is a little more relaxed and comfortable.

My son really got a lot out of Varsity Tutors. He enjoyed it very much and he learned methods. He was doing some self-study for Chinese and he was at the point where he wanted to start speaking with someone else. So that worked out really well with the tutor at the Varsity. He would go online on the computer and have a FaceTime. The tutor helped him a lot. Right now, he’s enrolled in the 11th grade. He also takes an online high school course with Varsity, which they don’t have at the school he’s at. We are very, very happy with Varsity. We recommend them very highly. My son has met all of our expectations and exceeded some, and he enjoyed it immensely. It was a great experience.

I'm very happy with Varsity Tutors. I had hired a different merchant for my son before and it was for SAT Prep. However, it didn't yield the results that the merchant had promised. I started searching for another provider and I found Varsity Tutors online. I was very satisfied with their service and the tutor that they provided. And the results were very good.

We had Varsity Tutors for the ACT, SAT and then AP Chem last year. It worked out pretty good. We still have a couple of hours left on our list with Varsity, but everything has been good so far.

Varsity Tutors looked appealing and the rep I spoke to was very thorough. Varsity seemed like a really good fit. I can find a tutor that works for me, which is really helpful. It is also better having the option to change tutors because if it doesn’t seem right with a tutor I'm working with, I can choose another person, which I ended up doing. There is flexibility for me and for them. The first tutor I had was brilliant, but I could not understand the way he was talking to me. So it's nice to have the power to change my tutor because if I have a tutor come to my house and it isn’t really working, there can be some weird tension if I see the tutor again.

Don't give these people your phone number unless you want them to harass you endlessly. Their sales department has been harassing me because I no longer need their services. I asked them several times to stop calling me and then they called my work. In the voicemail they even acknowledged that I asked them to stop calling me! When I called to complain, they refused to let me talk to a Manager.

I told them at first I needed a tutor. Then, I found a tutor at my university. So I emailed and asked for a refund. No response whatsoever. So now, I have to call them to ask for refund. I did not even started using the tutor or my session. So I deserve a refund for my $74 7 And if they don't give me one, there will be consequences with lawsuits. All they do is take your money. I would give them zero stars if I could.

I had a very pleasurable experience with Varsity Tutors. The convenience and the reviews made me go with them. The tutor I worked with was very patient. She listened to me and she was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them.

My son needed a tutor for his summer school calculus class. When I inquired about their services they were super responsive. The tutor they assigned him asked to take his work papers from his class to review and formulate test problems for him. The tutor then canceled 4 sessions in a row. They assigned him a new tutor right away but could not get the first tutor to return the work papers. Varsity Tutors said they would get them back right away but did not. With his class coming to an end their answer to me was that he was an independent contractor and it wasn't their responsibility.

Varsity tutors reached out to me after my review on here and helped me out with my issues. They were very willing to do what they could to make it better. They refunded me my unused hours and also set me up with a in person tutor to cater to my needs! Much more pleased.

Varsity Tutors escalated my issue, and we were able to come to a fair resolution. The way in which it was resolved made me believe that this is a good company who genuinely cares about their customer. I will call them again if I end up needing tutoring in the future.

I was in graduate business school and I just got a really good sense more of what I read than who I talked to. I spoke to somebody on a Sunday and it was a knowledgeable person. I'm really impressed because I wasn't determined or really set on, "This will be who I go with." I called from Varsity's website and a young man answered the call and he spoke intelligently about what Varsity can do and I bought right on the spot.

Varsity Tutors guaranteed customs with the satisfaction for their tutors, otherwise money will refund for the guarantee. The first tutor we did not satisfy, and they let us try second one. The second tutor we cannot understand her spoke English. But we still gave company opportunity try to one more time, unfortunately, the third tutor answer my son question is wrong and try to hide wrong answer.

I previously submitted a review regarding a not so great experience with Varsity Tutors. After posting the review I received a call the same day from Varsity Tutors. Not only did I receive a call the same day I also received a call weekly for several weeks from Virginia who helped me better understand the process and how Varsity Tutors could provide the service that my husband and I was looking for. So we finally decided to move forward with the process.

I was on Google and Varsity looked like they had the best reviews. Everything was great. My tutor, Landon, was awesome and by the end of it, I count him as a friend. He helped me a lot. I had a Chemistry professor who was from Russia and I couldn't understand his accent at all. I would have failed that class because there were four kids in the front of the class who understood everything and he was going their speed. Nobody else understood anything and I was so far behind. I definitely would have failed that class but I got either a B+ or an A- in it because of Landon. He was awesome. I'd definitely refer others to Varsity Tutors. It's been a great experience all around.

In the past, I have used tutors from different sources. They were private usually. With Varsity Tutors, I appreciate the variety of expertise. I also liked the selection of different subjects you could choose from. We weren't just stuck with paying for one service, and then not necessarily needing all the hours you paid for it. Furthermore, I definitely loved that I could learn and be tutored online because I would usually have to drive an hour to go see my tutor because they lived on the other side of town. The tutors I worked with were great about answering my specific questions. I know sometimes when I’ve seen private tutors in the past, it was difficult explaining exactly the approach I needed them to take to the problem because of how we were taught in class.

I needed someone quick and after a search on Google, I found Varsity Tutors. I do coding and I have work that I need to turn in to this camp that I'm doing. So far, I've been working with the same guy. I let him know what I need to work on as well as the issues I'm having with the assignment. We then go through it and whatever concepts come out that seem to be really challenging or need more attention, he'll elaborate on them. He is also really good about coming up with little modules for us to course out and go through. With the sporadic schedule of the assignments and me being busy, it's helpful to have him for a bit of an introduction to some of the concepts because they're not always thoroughly covered in class. I'm using him as a tool to either get ahead or situate myself so that when I get to class, I can understand more of what's happening. And I've made some incremental progress since I worked with him.

When you're an online student, you're teaching yourself and you are definitely on your own. I was struggling in my Physics class during the summer. I was up one night and I was frustrated. So I decided to google and tried to find a tutor in my area, and I called different ones. When I woke up that morning, someone from Varsity called me. I told her what my dilemma was and she assured me that they could help me. She gave me a pay rate and within 24 hours, they had assigned me a tutor.

If you are considering this service buy the smallest package you can and go from there, do not get sucked into their large packages! If you do not use the hours you will not get your money back unless you cancel within 30 days (which considering it sometimes takes a week or two to schedule your tutor is not enough time at all). I bought the 15 hour package, and used 4 sessions, then found no further use for the service. Tried to get my money back several months later and was told that I was “past the point of receiving monetary compensation” and that I could only use the hours for other tutoring of which I have no use. Also any time a session starts you already used an hour and a half (not 1 hour).

I signed up at the Varsity Tutoring website hoping to find a tutor. They subsequently told me that they have no local tutors at all, and I told them I was no longer interested. However, they continue to call me all the time. Sometimes every day. Sometimes more than once a day. I cannot get them to stop calling me.

Pat is the perfect tutor for my son Harry. His brother, George, also had a tutor and Huday was perfect for him. Huday is a top kid who was awesome for my son who had no disability. But for Harry, I specifically asked for someone who has been a teacher for a long time. I needed experiences because of his disability. Varsity Tutors listened and luckily, Pat was available. She's very familiar with disability so that has been so helpful. And Harry loved her. She's got a great sense of humor and she totally understands him. Harry was in a session school and he was never really taught Math. So Pat had to go back and fill in. She's made Harry more positive about Math. He feels like he is actually gonna learn it, which was what we needed. Then she always says, "You haven't learned this yet." Pat is unbelievable and she is gonna be able to get him from point A to point B.

I have spoken with the company and we have resolved the issue. They were happy to speak with me and willing to come up with a acceptable resolution for all involved.

I like the reviews for Varsity Tutors. They were very professional from the initial call to them finding a person. They were very attentive to the needs of Christin, my daughter. And they were quick to readjust the schedule when needed. They were really good and they helped 100%. Her learning experience from Varsity Tutors was perfect. It prepared her for her upcoming pre-med classes.

My daughter has improved since using Varsity for general tutoring, and we have an ongoing relationship with the tutor. She is still tutoring my daughter.

My daughter has had help with Physics and the tutor she's had from Varsity Tutors was wonderful. If we need tutoring this next school year in the same subject, we plan on using him again. My daughter is now more confident in her ability to be able to work with the conception of problems. We've used a different tutoring option before and Varsity Tutors was better in terms of the quality of their tutors. I would recommend Varsity Tutors.

In some of the other online tutors that I researched, the cost was more and with Varsity Tutors, it was less. Also, there were very positive reviews that I read so we chose them. Once we decided that this was the route that we were gonna go, we reached out to them and they gave us their pricing. Then, we picked the package that fit us and they set us up and paired my son with a tutor based on his personality. It was a very smooth process. We knew that we would be having two-hour sessions every week and Alex would send us an appointment reminder. Also, he really worked well with my son. Their personalities meshed, which made it easier, and he was very flexible in his schedule and meeting with my son’s schedule. My son plays sports and work two jobs and Alex was very willing to work around that.

My son got more encouragement through Varsity and little more feedback than other tutoring options we've used before. He enjoyed his learning experience and he felt that it was worth his time, which I found very encouraging given his age that he would be interested in spending more time studying. And he was motivated to set up future tutoring appointments all on his own without me having to tell him to do so. So, he got an A on his AP Chemistry finals with help from Varsity Tutors and scored well enough on the AP exam that he can opt out of General Chemistry at next year at college. Also, he raised his ACT score four points. It's better than anything we’ve done.

I was very pleased with Varsity Tutors. My son is difficult to deal with. He was getting better as he gets older, but he has a struggle with learning. He’s a high-functioning, autistic kid with ADHD, so it makes him a little difficult to teach, but I wanted to give him the best opportunity there was. I searched on the internet and reading some of the reviews about Varsity Tutors, they sounded like a really good place and I thought I’d give them a try. We had a total of three tutors. I was amazed with the first tutor, Steven. He was able to interact, speak and teach my son. He had a way about him that he’d go down to Jacob’s level and he made the sessions fun. My son learned a tremendous amount.

I’ve used other tutors in the past and Varsity Tutors is good considering my son had passed all of his exams last year. And he had not passed on his exams in the previous years. Somebody who could get my kid to pass his exams is nothing short of a miracle, and his tutor named Josh is great. My son still hates education and anything that has to do with it but the tutor is a requirement on my part that he had to have and he could have cared less either way. I’m very happy with the experience and I hope that it gave him a good enough foundation. But if I need tutors again this coming school year, we’re gonna keep Varsity Tutors in mind.

My work schedule doesn’t allow me to get off of work and go see a tutor. So I did some research and found that Varsity Tutors had excellent ratings on the Better Business Bureau and on Google. I was assigned to a personable young lady and was presented with a package option. My experience in dealing with her was outstanding. The tutor I was then assigned to was Christopher and it worked out perfect ‘cause that was his full time job. Even with the time difference, he was still able to accommodate me and that experience was great. My class was set up such that we had homework then a quiz and discussion. So Chris would help me with the homework, which would subsequently help me with the quiz. He was very knowledgeable about everything we covered and even when he didn’t exactly know something, we would go through the book and that would bring it back to his memory.

I googled and found Varsity Tutors, and they were were very quickly receptive to our needs. They were personable and knowledgeable, and they were very quick in helping us. They knew our need for a tutor was very time-sensitive because summer classes are very quick. My daughter was taking Organic Chemistry 1, which is a very hard subject, and we used a Varsity tutor for that. First, they gave me a tutor that was gonna be on Skype, but my daughter didn't find that effective. Right away, the next day, they got me somebody else and that was great. The new tutor was patient and I really thought he was great. He brought tools to show my daughter different things and he interacted with her using those tools. I was very happy with Varsity Tutors.

I wanted to learn a new language and was looking for a private tutor. I saw Varsity Tutors' advertisement and thought it was a good deal. I called and subscribed, and I have been with them ever since. They call every month or so to check in and make sure that my satisfaction is still good with my tutor. My tutor is great and I have no issues. I am learning a new language I am going to need and that's what I am being helped with. It’s a little on the expensive side at times which is the only drawback, but apart from that and waiting for the discount, it’s worth it and I recommend it.

I called to inquire about tutoring services for a statistics class. I initially agreed to $630 for 9 hours of tutoring. $70/hours very expensive and I had to wait one week before I could even meet with a tutor. I went to look on their platform but my instincts told me to not agree to use it and I went looking for something else. Better and cheaper. I found it through Care.com. A good tutor for $30/hour. Dozens of local tutors responded to my job offer. I had my pick. All within 24 hours. I called Varsity Tutors the next day and canceled about 12 hours after I initially spoke to them. However despite multiple calls Varsity Tutors still charged my credit card. Not once. But twice. They almost got away with the second charge because I wasn't looking closely enough. Varsity Tutors are money grabbers. Be careful with this company.

I ordered a tutor from this company a month in advance of the test. It took a while until they finally found me one. My first tutor arrived late without notice, until I contacted him to see where he was. He spent the entire tutoring sessions talking to me about how much he loved the Italian culture! I literally was taught three problems in the three hours I saw him. I did not pay 105 an hour for a friend to gossip with!!!! He also had me meet him where he lived, in which I had to pay a toll to go there and, left after an hour because of an emergency. Again, I was taught nothing!!!!

When I went to the Varsity Tutors website, I checked their reviews and backgrounds and decided to go with them. My son had to take the summer sets again since he failed the first time. He has issues with writing and reading so he needs more time. With my son having a tutor, I know that he would pass the second test. He is much better than the first set. His tutor has been flexible for us. Since I work, we figured out a time that was good for both of us and that helped me a lot. I had an excellent experience with Varsity Tutors. They called me all the time to ask if everything was okay and talked to the tutor if she was in. I like that a lot because it means to me that they care about their customers. It is something that I’m gonna be loyal to and work with.

Was a very professional tutor and knew basically everything about the subject. Helped my grade go from a 43 to a 78 by the end of the year. I am so happy for the tutor I received and couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. If I ever need another tutor it most likely be Zaki.

I researched tutoring services to provide our teen with requested support to strengthen her strategies for the SAT. We had a terrible experience with the first two tutors - one canceled 15 minutes before the session was supposed to begin, and the second kept rescheduling until finally admitting that our neighborhood was too far away for him. By this point we had lost several months of valuable prep time. The final tutor at least showed up on time consistently - at this point, our standards were low.

We are ecstatic with our daughter's progress and VT responsiveness when we have an issue. Short of 5 stars because we're still trying to find a good match for our son. I'm hopeful we'll get that resolved next week. Our daughter's teacher is well prepared for each session, firm and supportive. Each session is maximized for learning. Very impressed with her.

Varsity Tutors was a little more private and there is more one-on-one than in a classroom setting. They are one of the first people to approach me and get back to me and so, I went with them and they were the first one that I chose. The tutors are very good and the specific tutor that I worked with was genuine, nice, kind and honest. He gave me some constructive criticism and found my weaknesses. We sat down and he helped me go through the motion of writing the essay for the GRE, formulating the strategy for writing that essay and how to go about it during the test. They did great for the test and I did much better than I expected.

All of my tutors for the above subjects have been very helpful and knowledgeable. They are flexible on times that we meet - which is great because I work full time and have to fit my school work in whenever I am able to! My Biostatistics tutor was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to help me understand the concepts. I also have had a great experience with using varsity tutors for paper/essay editing! I would recommend this program to anyone that is struggling in a course or anyone who just needs help focusing!

We were looking online for a tutor and Varsity Tutors seemed to have what we were looking for. I also liked the option that if a particular tutor did not work out, we could change tutors and get a fit that would work for us. Our Varsity tutor has been absolutely phenomenal and wonderful, from changing the tutoring schedules to accommodating us on unscheduled tutor dates, such as for emergency help. Moreover, my daughter’s grades went up, so we were doubly pleased. It was a great experience for her and she looked forward to the sessions. The tutor honed in on the areas where she needed help and was able to help her, and she was very friendly and got my daughter, who's a little withdrawn and shy to open up. Depending on people’s circumstances, Varsity can be a little pricey, but the service was well worth the cost for me and I would absolutely use them.

Overall the tutor was very helpful. You get out of the experience exactly what you put in. For best results I highly recommend doing numerous problems before you even begin a tutoring session. So when you do have your hour and 30 min you can focus on where you really need the help. Also send the tutor all you possibly can. The more the tutor has to work with the more help they can do for you.

Varsity Tutors had availability for me to start then and I was desperate for an assignment. I went with them and it worked out. When I logged on then and was assigned to somebody for instant help, I got matched and he was great. I liked him so much and we worked together so well that I requested to keep him for my regular tutoring session. He was really helpful and I was using Varsity Tutors for accounting, which was hard for me. But he was really patient and didn’t get frustrated when I didn’t understand right away.

Varsity does a great job of customer service and that they are responsive to phone calls and their app is pretty good. The service would be improved if there was a better way to vet or briefly interview tutors before trying them out. Even though they will refund you if you did not like the tutor, it is an efficient and can get frustrating for the student.

We appreciate the follow-up and all of the excellent tutoring. The tutors have been very experienced and our agent (Allison) has been diligent in following up on our progress. Very much appreciate it!

My daughter is only in her first few weeks of long-term tutoring for the ACT but we are delighted so far! My daughter is extremely happy with her tutor which makes her motivated to work hard. The online format is working out well and I get regular calls from a member of the staff (our personal coordinator) to make sure all going well.

I really liked the gentleman that I spoke with on the phone when I first called Varsity Tutors. He made me feel like they could really do what I needed to help my son in college who was failing a class. And I didn't feel it was necessary to look elsewhere although I saw a lot of tutoring companies. My son at UC Berkeley got a big plus in class with the tutor's help. He would have failed that class without Varsity Tutors. They have a variety of people and they're very good at finding the right personality. And they're good at working with you if the right personality doesn't come out first. Give Varsity Tutors a check and see if you can find a person you need who can help in a certain subject.

I contacted Varsity Tutors a few days ago. I received the rates for a tutor, however, I wasn't given any additional information so I sent an e-mail over the weekend requesting a list of the tutors in my area as well as their qualifications because I wanted a certified tutor after reading the reviews for Varsity Tutors. I received a call today 6/19/18 from Sandra asking if I was still interested. I advised her that I requested additional information. As per Sandra, that's not their process. I explained why I wanted the information and advised that I would like to select the tutor.

We talked to Varsity Tutors and it looked like they aim to match you with the appropriate person. It helped my son to get to reading level. And I already recommended them to a friend of mine.

When I signed up for this service over 2 years ago I was very clearly told unused hours could be refunded when we discontinued the service. I set up an auto payment and they have gotten a check from me like clockwork for 2+ years. We have had numerous scheduling issues, tutors outright no-showing and in some cases it’s been difficult to find a tutor for certain subjects. So, we haven’t used the prepaid hours every month and have over $5300 in unused hours accumulated.

We only used local tutors recommended by people in our area but when we were looking for someone specific like a Chinese tutor for my son, we couldn’t find anyone locally. Also, for some of the upper level Math, we found a good tutor but she was always away. So, Varsity as an online option was appealing. On an Admin level, all the people that we had as our main tutors were always on time, very good about scheduling and we appreciate that too. So, it's nice to know what's coming during the week so that your kids can get their homework done and fit in anything they have for the tutor as well.

Throughout the four years that I’ve been using Varsity Tutors, they’ve helped me very, very much. This recent tutor I've had was helping me with a research paper that was about 20 pages long. And so, I would write it, then she and I would go through it, and she’d make comments on what we were doing. I’m a student at the University of Tampa, so originally, I was using the school's tutoring program. But when I found out that it wasn’t really specific to what I needed, I started looking online for different tutors. Then, I found Varsity Tutors and with them, I could get multiple subjects from only one platform. Also, I could pay them through credit card wherein a lot of times, if you have a tutor, you have to pay them with cash or check. So, it’s a lot easier to actually prepay for the hours.

If you're looking for a tutoring service, you should definitely give Varsity Tutors a call and see if they can meet what you need. When my daughter was in high school, she used them and we were happy with their service. I read the reviews initially and it sounded like they were what we needed, so I called and they were extremely helpful. They were a little expensive though, but when we started using them, they handled everything properly.

The company is working on this issue. Virginia is willing to help us and it should work out fine.

I've had great interactions with the tutor from Varsity Tutors. She did an excellent job. There's a slight difference in the way I learn using a tutor since everyone teaches differently. Still, I would encourage others to go with Varsity as they have excellent tutors and they all want to adapt to the student's learning.

We had a different tutoring option and the person I had was good but he moved so it was super last minute when I used Varsity Tutors and had Luciana. She was the best and I like her. She was patient, sweet and encouraging. She obviously knew what she was talking about and she did a lot of quizzing which helped. The learning experience was enjoyable and I look forward to it. It worked out really well. I will definitely recommend Varsity Tutors, especially in a pinch.

I sought out Varsity Tutors because I saw positive reviews. I tried to set up an in person tutor for our business and the representative we had was solely focused on trying to convince us to use their online platform instead of what we actually wanted. We have tried the online learning platform before and it doesn't work well for what we wanted and we tried to explain this over and over and still the representative at Varsity Tutors was more interested in trying to sell us on this software instead of trying to accommodate what we needed. Maybe this gentleman doesn't accurately reflect what the company is trying to do but he surely left a terrible taste in our mouth and he is certainly not the type of person I would ever have representing my company.

I was contacted by a customer experience representative, they offered a viable solution and I accepted it. We're still in the process of getting the unused hours refunded but so far they have committed to do so. I hope they follow through with this.

I was very impressed with Saudrick, the ECE tutor Varsity found for my son, Will. He passed the class with a B without Saudrick's help. And he got A's from the time he started working with Saudrick and it was because Saudrick could explain the concept to him. If he didn't get it, he could explain it in a different way until Will understood it. And Saudrick's qualifications were amazing, having both the Bachelor's and the Master's in the ECE. He knows the material as well as the professor knows it, but he also is skilled at teaching it to somebody else and can explain it in different ways until he knows the person understands it. He also went out of his way to make himself available every night leading up to the finals.

Varsity Tutors is a fabulous organization. My daughter was taking some tests for entrance into boarding schools. I looked at Google, some reviews and Varsity Tutors seemed like pretty solid as an option. What I felt really unique about them is that, firstly, from an account management standpoint, when they were interfacing with the parents every time, we contacted them or they contacted us, they seemed informed on exactly what the objectives were and where we were in the process. So, it wasn't like a re-education on every call which could be frustrating.

We were very disappointed in our outcome of the SAT tutoring. My daughter retook the SAT 2 times and did not increase her score at all! The 2 hour tutoring sessions were brutal! We won't be using the last 2 hours that we have left and there is no refund available. Very disappointed!

I recently reviewed Varsity Tutors and expressed some dissatisfaction with them. After posting the review, I received a call from Virginia from the Company. She explored the reasons that I was unhappy with the experience and offered to provide some additional tutoring with a different tutor. I accepted and the new tutor had a different style. My daughter felt better about the experience after just one session with the new tutor. This tutor worked through the problems with her and explained the reasons for the process. The response from the customer department was phenomenal. Very satisfied customer!

Varsity Tutors seemed very thorough, professional and experienced from all the materials that I read and looked over. And during the process in getting to a tutor that would serve my daughter's needs, they were incredibly professional, helpful, and supportive. I was so blown away with their service and everyone of them. And I ended up talking with three different professionals, the ones who answer their phones and screens and try to get the family or the individual to help with their need.

I googled APSAT tutor and Varsity Tutors came up, so I called them first. They've been great so far and I've been super happy with them. They emailed me and called a lot to see how satisfied I was. Elizabeth, the tutor, meets my child once a week for an hour and a half and she's been real helpful. My daughter's gonna take her APSAT the next week so we will stop after her AP exam. She really likes Elizabeth and never complains about Varsity Tutor. Her grades are good, too.

Do yourself and your child a favor: DON'T hire Varsity Tutors! Unlike many other tutoring/test prep businesses, the tutors at Varsity are contractors. That means there is little accountability. Aside from the few hours of self-paced software platform training, there is no other training the tutors are required to have (e.g., best practices for different types of tutoring; cohesive company approach/pedagogy; etc). What this means is there is no quality control - the company has no idea how well the tutor performs, what his/her strategies are, what topics the tutor is truly qualified to teach, etc.

Everybody in my community uses the same few people. And my daughter is a much higher performing student than the rest of the community. There are not a lot of kids on Ivy League here and there's just a handful of them. We wanted to do something a little different so, I was googling, I looked at reviews and thought about it and decided to do Varsity Tutors instead of a local one. The first tutor didn’t speak to my daughter but Varsity Tutors interviewed me and my daughter. And then, most of the interactions with the first tutor were by text and email. We only started about two years ago and my daughter met her about six times for SAT tutoring. She was young and it was a little early so we did it every two weeks.

We have Varsity Tutors for my grandson and it is much more convenient having the tutor come to the house. I didn't have to drive my grandson to the tutor then sit and wait for an hour. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to get to know the tutors better. While we didn't have a terrible experience with the first tutor they sent out, it was his first time out. He didn't know what to expect and he just wasn't committed to it. He came late and canceled once. Plus, from his voice at a lot of phone calls, he seemed bored during the session. My grandson likes him, but he didn't know how to teach. He kept saying he just needs to make sure what area he needs to pay more attention to. We complained to Varsity and they immediately sent out another tutor. Also, they gave us credit when we put in a claim for the session the first tutor canceled because it was raining.

My husband had a friend from work who had used Varsity Tutors for his son for either SAT or ACT. He came home and told me about it then I looked it up online. When I got some information, I talked to them and we decided to go with that. I like that I can tell them very specifically what we're looking for. I was looking for ACT Math and for Algebra 1 then I get a tutor that teaches my son every single thing. My son loves his tutor and they got along really well. His tutor was personable and very professional. My son did ACT Math and his learning experience was great. They started with the basics of everything my son needs to know on the ACT Math and once the tutor knew that he knew it, he moves on to the next thing.

I searched online and read some reviews and Varsity Tutors' were very positive. They assigned a tutor to me and then we had some email communication. He comes to my house when we scheduled the class. Although we're not on a set schedule now, he's very responsive and works with me. Plus, he gets along with my son. It's a great match and it's wonderful.

This service was overpriced and oversold. I like how they put precedence on customer service but that is about all I liked. My tutor was nice and it seemed like she really cared but we did not understand each other. She did not help me very much. She mainly confused me. The website was not very good and pretty confusing in my opinion and the webcam would go out every few minutes. Before the session I was told to plan out my session and tell her exactly what I want to learn but during the session I didn't even get out what I wanted to learn. I could've learned more about the subject for a fifth of the price and in less time. I felt that this was a huge waste of my money and time.

Varsity Tutors is definitely better than the tutors with the school system’s Honor Society. They check constantly to make sure things are okay, how everything was going with the tutor and if anything was not working. The tutor even said that he can't get it right but he’ll find someone who can. They really wanted the right thing for our kids and followed through a lot different than a program with a high school kid who's doing it for the community hours.

We did a lot of research online and we called different people about their different programs and what they offered. Varsity Tutors’ flexibility and the opportunity for my son to do tutoring remotely made us choose them. We don't live near a large metropolitan area so we needed to be able to do it remotely via the internet. My son primarily wanted them to help him round up some of his weaker points and I help him with testing approaches and techniques. Also, my son interacted with the tutor himself and was pretty much independent of me. The whole purpose we hired Varsity Tutors was to help my son improve his score and that happened.

The kids at school have tutoring and it wasn’t working. Varsity Tutors is a bit pricey but the breakdown of it, the time and how it was done was wonderful for my kids. My kids have ADD and my son has ADHD and they’re highly intelligent. But his biggest thing is organization. My daughter as well had a time on test they struggled with and my son needed ways to remember things.

I have been contacted by varsity tutors corporate representatives and I will be issued a refund.

I started out with a basic package to help me complete my computing assignments. After the first assignment it started being quite obvious the tutor was unprepared and struggled to understand the concepts. After a few sessions I decided I had to complain and was switched to another tutor. They apologized saying this one was better matched for my needs. I sent links of the assignment and what I preferred to work on so he could at least look over it and be prepared this time. The second one had even less of an understanding and we got absolutely nothing done.

I had a terrible experience with Varsity Tutors. I emailed my tutor prior to my session and I couldn't even complete the session because my tutor was unprepared and unable to explain the concepts to me. My parents and I reached out to Varsity Tutors to complain and request a refund. We were told that sessions are recorded and that they would review the session and get back to us to address our complaint. I also forwarded my email detailing what I needed to cover in the session. No one has gotten back to me in over 3 months, no acknowledgment, no explanation, no refund. I will not be using this service again.

Taking some conversation lessons in French was the first step I took when planning a trip to France. I contacted Varsity when I found them online. The person who helped me over the phone was friendly and helpful, I bought 30 sessions to make sure I had enough practice to feel comfortable speaking the language while in France. I explained that I had taken French in high school and college, so all I wanted was to practice. The first two tutors had no idea what to do or where to begin, it was ridiculous. The first tutor kept pointing at objects in my house asking me if I knew the French word for them. The second one had me check YouTube videos on learning English and translating the sentences into French. I took immediate action in both instances and requested a refund since the tutors were not prepared to do the job.
