Varsity Tutors Reviews

The tutor our kids had was top-drawer and our interactions have been completely professional and extremely helpful. She is so smart, reliable, and works great with both of my children. It's been a very positive experience because we were not sure if the kids were learning in the school so it was extremely stressful. I didn't know how to ask the questions that I needed to ask. I was daunted and it was a really dark moment. Varsity Tutors, however, was like, "We're going to figure this out." They've been great and they were always available with any sort of issue that we had but didn't demand feedback all the time. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Varsity Tutors had people local to where I lived and sent me someone that I was really happy with. My daughter has had two different tutors. Originally, I hired a precalculus tutor. They were very understanding of the kind of tutor that I wanted and sent me exactly that type of person. He's incredibly conscientious, kind and super smart. He also has a very nice demeanor. Moreover, he calls if you wait 10 seconds. For a very short time, I also had a tutor for world history before the AP exams last year. My daughter was really worried about it, but she got a five out of five on the exam. I had a good experience with both tutors.

The company's not reliable or trustworthy. They didn't find me a tutor until after the cancellation period had expired. Now they refuse to provide a refund. The company recommended I transfer the tutor hours to someone else. This is not fair. Just want a refund. As a military member I feel misled.

My son's tutor helped him with his executive function skills and ability to multitask. They did weekly sessions for 90 minutes a week for a total of eight sessions. It didn't focus so much on homework itself, but on studying and how to prepare for school. My son had a good interaction with his tutor and he was very reactive to the tutoring. Varsity Tutors provides a tailored tutoring experience based on the needs of the individual. Overall, it was a very good experience and I'd recommend them.

Varsity Tutors really cares about their brand. After I complained about my tutor on this website, they reviewed my session and promised to give some amount back to me since the tutor finished the session halfway earlier than the arranged time. I want to thank to the management team for helping me on this issue. It is very nice of them, but I think the problem should be solved by choosing the qualified tutors. Maybe it is something hard in this sector, too.

I was in a crisis mode as my son was finishing his senior year and didn't have a lot of time. And Varsity Tutors was responsive. The tutor mainly helped in developing the outline for my son's final English papers, and he also helped proofread them. Each time my son would have a little bit of homework to do from a session, the tutor would help him with the proofing after he wrote them. It wasn't necessarily mastering, but it was helping him develop better writing. Everything was done online. I scheduled the classes for him and he logged in and held the sessions. My son was happy with his experience overall.

Varsity Tutors is a million times better than my previous tutor. I got rid of the other company because they weren't reliable. I needed someone who is consistent to show up. And the tutor from Varsity is consistent and she's very good at explaining concepts to my little one. I'm very pleased overall. They’re doing a great job and I’d refer them to whoever.

My boys really like having the online tutorials available anytime and they’re enjoying it. Varsity Tutors' pricing is in line with other tutorials. It’s all fairly expensive but it serves the convenience of having it 24 hours in your house. You’re allowed to take them anywhere. Jake, my son, is getting ready to start tomorrow. My other son has been doing it with different tutors and he’s enjoying it. Varsity Tutors is definitely helping them. We had AP Computer Science and Chemistry and it’s tough to find a good tutor for the upper-end subjects. They’ve been very helpful and they contact me when my hours are running low. When I only have 5 hours left of tutoring time, if they have a promotion going on, they let me know if I want to sign up for more hours and I can do so now at a discounted rate. I have recommended Varsity Tutors.

Varsity Tutors is a good company to use if you need help. They can come to the house, which is really helpful, or work on the computer or they can meet you somewhere if you have a laptop. They also send people out with master’s level. The lady who came to my house was working on her master’s degree so I felt she was very well-educated. She walked me through some things and reminded me about correct grammar that I have forgotten because I'm an older person. I kind of slide in the slang like hasn't, wasn't, and isn't, which are not correct grammar for academic papers. Varsity Tutors is definitely worth the money and they got me over a hump. My tutor gave me the confidence to do something on my own. I used Varsity Tutors until I felt like I didn't need them anymore, but I'm definitely going to call them back.

My son is getting ready for high school and we figured that preparing him a little bit more wouldn't hurt. I've never had a tutor. And so I googled and I liked that Varsity Tutor had a very good review. They asked me a few questions and then they sent someone who is knowledgeable for what we needed and the guy was amazing. He was very knowledgeable in English and in Math and everything that we needed. He’s an older gentleman, very pleasant and a very good tutor. We've been doing about two months tutoring already and my son’s ready for the test. Varsity has been great and I recommended them to people that had asked about tutoring services and I gave their number out.

I got Varsity Tutors to help me for a test. My tutor was a genius. He did a great job. I did it over a cram session for eight days. I didn’t pass the test but I don’t really fault the tutor for that.

My children have developed a good relationship with their tutors from Varsity Tutors and things seem to be going well. They were very receptive to me providing ideas of what I'd like them to cover and work with, like helping with some school review work versus working on stuff that the kids need to catch up on. We were moving country then and we needed to fill the gap caused by the move so we looked at Varsity Tutors. My daughter still needs that additional support because she missed a good portion of her third grade here. Meanwhile, my son has made a significant progress and he's almost closed that gap. It's definitely worth it. The learning platform has worked for our kids and for our lifestyle. We also enjoy the flexibility they offer. It helps that we can go away for the weekend and don't necessarily have to cancel the sessions if we have a connection.

I like Varsity Tutors. I would just schedule a day with a tutor and then I'd show up at the time it was scheduled. We would go for an hour and go over anything that I need help with. So far, it's great. I would tell friends to try it out.

When I was researching tutors, Varsity Tutors didn’t have any in my area, but as soon as I walked off the site they called within five minutes and found a tutor online for me. It was convenient that they just called and were professional. We started on time every day, sometimes it was a few minutes late because I know that they had other appointments before me. I answered all the questions I had and went through all the lectures. The regional person for my area always contacted me when I first signed up and then throughout the entire tutoring process just to make sure that everything was going well and my tutor was a good fit. I had Chemistry and we went over all of my PowerPoints. He also brought in stuff from other classes that he’s been seeing, like practice worksheets and problems, and he gave me a test to work on.

It's been a great experience with Varsity Tutors. The professionalism, the knowledge of the tutors that I've dealt with, the overall experience in terms of usability, accessibility, and the whole online platform have been fantastic. I've already recommended them to a couple of my friends -- one is preparing for law school and another is getting a masters and doing the same thing as me so it's been a fantastic experience. After the first time my tutor and I met, we exchanged phone numbers. That way, we can just text back and forth of, "Hey, let's push back the class," or if I had a quick question and needed to do a phone call or an email. So, my tutor was fantastic.

Varsity Tutors lets you take courses at home, and they have an easy interface that was pretty nice. In addition, they were pretty high up on the Google Results. Everything with them was routine and having a work board for dashboard interaction was a plus. While the tutor that was assigned to me was a nice girl, she had no idea how to do some of the problems. But she was savvy with math so she was able to figure it out. I was preparing for a test to get a job and I passed, so it was a success overall.

The Varsity tutor I had was very helpful. She taught me a lot more in-depth information and she helped me with anything and everything math-related. She didn’t hesitate when it came to getting knowledge and sharing that information with me. She helped me get better compared to where I was, when everything was mostly just self-taught.

I did some research and Varsity Tutors had really good reviews. Their tutors were really knowledgeable and they take the time to pair the right tutor with the student. That's something that I didn't see with their competitors. Varsity Tutors wanted to talk to you. They ask what your goals were and what your learning struggles were.

I went to Penn State where there are places that I can go to that gives reviews for the course that I’m in, and it was okay. And then, I met with a private tutor that was just around the local area. Both options didn’t give me much help so I tried Varsity Tutors. I was worried about the whole online thing because I thought it wouldn’t be any good, but it was easy. I was doing Physics and I could draw all the equations on the board and have somebody talk about the problems. I could also upload my sample exams so we could see the same problems. The tutor was good at describing the problems. He described it in six different ways so eventually I got it. He was also easy to deal with since I had his cell phone number.

I have two kids that use Varsity Tutors. Last year, we had Lucas for my oldest son. He connected very well with him and my son really started improving towards the end. We had to cancel though because of finances. It’s an expensive service but my son absolutely loved it. He was a kid that’s been failing in Math since second grade and just when I had to cancel, he started to turn it around.

I had a good experience with Varsity Tutors and I would recommend them. I set up the tutoring sessions with Ingrid via email and she responded right away. My daughter was studying for the SAT. She hadn’t taken it before but she did fine on it. She got a scholarship to SU so I’m pleased with how she did.

I had a great experience with Varsity Tutors. Everything from the initial contact with Varsity representative to online platform to tutor selection was seamless. I needed help preparing for a very specific exam for graduate school admission and Varsity was able to find me a perfect tutor within 2 days. The tutor had recently taken the same national exam that I was preparing for so she was really knowledgeable about it. My tutor went to school at Columbia University, so she was really good at communicating and explaining the subject too. Was able to do the lessons online using the Varsity website which was really nice because I'm graduate student and schedule is hectic. Overall really great experience. Most important of all I got the result that I wanted on my test!!!

My son goes to boarding school in St. Louis so I needed someone who could tutor him there and also when he was home in California. I liked the flexibility that Varsity Tutors had to offer. We were doing ACT prep and my son worked with them from August to May of last year and the experience was great. I enjoyed that there was a tutor right there near his school in St. Louis who was able to come out and really meet with him. My son had a very limited schedule and so the tutor was able to meet with him during his time, which was great. And then when my son came back home, there was someone who met him here as well, so it worked out great.

I read the referrals online for Varsity Tutors, and I got them for my daughter. It made her grade go up and it was a great experience. I’d tell anybody that’s having problems with schooling that they should go with Varsity.

The tutors were very respectful. They would instantly reply if I had any questions, and even if I message them again, they would still respond. They were super helpful. They even said, if I lose connection online, they would give me their cell phone number and I can message them on there, too. Varsity Tutors helped me improve my vocabulary because it isn't very high. As soon as I started working with them, I found out different words that I could use for my papers. The format of my writing was always scattered all over the place, so I was able to organize it a lot better.

We’re really thrilled with Varsity Tutors. I looked online and the research that I was able to do led me to their company. I found that with them, we could use the hours in any way my son needs and there’s a lot of flexibility so there wasn’t a lot of risk going into trying their service. The other testimonials also convinced me to sign up with them.

My GRE tutor was very helpful. She was a very sweet person and easy to get along with. My interactions with her were incredibly positive and my learning experience was great. I only had about six days to study and I had to pump up my score by about 15 points, and I did it. It's expensive so if someone could afford it, I'd definitely recommend Varsity Tutors. It definitely helped in my situation because I'm 37 and with two kids so I didn't have time to really relearn geometry.

I'm a doctoral student at the University of Phoenix and I needed someone that could come to my home to tutor me for Statistics. I did a search and when I called Varsity Tutors, they had the options that suited me. Even when I had another one just to get me started on the part of my dissertation, the tutors that I had knew how to meet me where and what part I was and they never ever made me feel like I should’ve done this or I didn’t know that. They were very encouraging and very patient. I was also looking for a research assistant or someone that could do the research part with the articles for me. That service wasn’t offered but they had a young man who graduated from Stanford in English and had his doctorate so he was able to work with me for a short period of time helping to organize my thoughts better for my dissertation. He read it over because I was working on my proposal.

My daughter is in college and was taking summer courses. The availability of tutoring in the campus that summer was limited so I went online and tried to find a tutor for her who will be available for the two classes she was taking. Varsity Tutors was then readily available. My daughter did everything online and did live tutoring sessions with the tutor. But more than anything, she independently did her homework and sent it to him for correction and then they get together. The tutor was there to explain what she did wrong. However, there were some issues with Skype whenever they do video tutoring so they ended up sending stuff back and forth. But my daughter prefers live tutoring if she had to meet on a regular basis. Nevertheless, she ended up getting an A and B, which was good.

After a couple of days of posting this review, someone from Varsity Tutors' office called to resolve the issue. The person who called me was definitely listening to what I had to say, and I felt like she was actually trying to help me resolve this issue. She was able to talk with her team and make a full refund for the hours that I did not use, which was exactly what I was asking for. I appreciate the staff that helped me to get this resolved, which was done in a timely fashion!

I looked up an internet ad for New York Tutoring which surprisingly took me to the "Virtual Tutoring" website (not a New York-based company, I presume, but don't know). The nice sales rep who answered the phone informed me that the "Virtual Tutoring" service is the largest in the country and actually also offers in-person tutors in any city. We discussed the possibility of having a tutor come to my home vs our using a virtual tutor who might be located anywhere else in the country. He told me that I would pay the SAME RATE for a Virtual vs an In-Home tutor. I asked why that would be and was told that "travel costs" were absorbed by the company, but that New York rates were higher because all pricing was "MARKET-BASED".

I had been looking around at options and prices and even though Varsity Tutors seemed expensive, at least from their advertisement, their tutors were qualified. I needed something quickly for my daughter so I went with them. I gave them a credit card number to pay for one set of sessions and the tutor came to the house. At first, I wasn't sure because he wasn't exactly who I thought would work well for her, but he was great and very professional, and he ended up being a good fit. She responded well to him and his style of teaching, like using sticky notes to label everything in our house. This was very helpful and the learning experience was very positive. It increased her grade and made Spanish fun for what it was worth, so I was quite happy. After that was done, we were pretty much at the end of the semester, so I did not extend. Varsity Tutors was really wonderful for my daughter and I would highly recommend them.

I tried Kumon but it didn’t work out. It was terrible. Varsity is totally the opposite. It is really good and they are concerned to find the person who fits my daughter’s schedule. Mayesha is excellent and she updates me every time she comes and talks to me about what is being presented to my daughter on a specific day. My daughter’s learning a lot. When she started, she hasn’t recognized the alphabet and she is reading books now. I really appreciate Mayesha and because of her, I’m going to keep buying more hours through Varsity because I really like the quality of tutoring that she provides for my daughter. I’m really happy with her. Varsity's really professional and I’m telling people about them because I’m satisfied.

My daughter took the ACT three times and followed various preparation approaches. Each time she went up one point. Before her fourth test, she prepped with Varsity Tutors. Varsity Tutors took the time to understand her strengths and shortcomings and helped her train and focus on the appropriate areas. I'm happy to say that she went up 2 points with the 4th test and reached her ACT goal. Thanks to hard work and Varsity Tutors assistance.

I was referred to Varsity Tutors by a girlfriend who saw results so she asked me to try them about a year ago, and I did. Varsity Tutors was a lot better than the other tutoring option that I used before and I’m very pleased with the difference. We’ve had two different tutors. We tried the online tutor, which was excellent but my son chose to have a tutor that was in front of him, like a physical person, and so currently, we have that and she’s great. She interacts with his teachers at school so she knows where he’s at and she knows what he needs to work on. She fills me in on his progress at the end of every tutoring session and she knows what works and what doesn’t work with him. She knows him as well as us.

I decided to take some philosophy lessons with my husband. We did it every week for a few months and LOVED our experience. When we first shared our goals with Varsity Tutors, they did an amazing job at pairing us with the perfect tutor (in our case, she felt more like a teacher!). She was always very well prepared and she did a great job keeping my husband and I engaged with the subjects we were discussing. She'd even check in on us during the week with additional resources that were relevant to the topics. It was enriching for my husband and I, and we couldn't have imagined a better online learning experience.

Great organization. Very responsive to get my son the perfect tutor for his objectives. Easy to use interface and communication tools. Varsity followed up to make sure all was going to plan. As a parent, I felt like they cared and were invested in my son's success.

I found my interactions with the Varsity Tutor staff to be professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful. When I first signed up for the service I was promptly contacted and advised of "next steps", and I always felt as though they valued me as a customer and wanted to ensure that they answered any and all questions I had. When my first tutor was not the best fit for me, my representative promptly contacted me to listen to my concerns and find me a new tutor, which she completed within one business day. I was thrilled by their level of customer service, expedience, and professionalism.

I looked at what was around where I lived and the price of Varsity Tutors was pretty good, and they had a really good review. I used them when I was struggling in Microbiology class but the first tutor didn’t work out very well. She had a broad knowledge of many science subjects but she wasn’t very knowledgeable in Microbiology. Also, she wasn’t very responsive to emails and she wouldn’t show up on our scheduled video chat sessions. Eventually, she just stopped responding to the emails.

My son needed help with a computer science class in college. People called NONSTOP from Varsity. They spoke to my son, they spoke to me. I detailed exactly what was required. They could not assure me that they actually had an individual both with the competence to tutor the specific course and the availability that would be needed. All they wanted was a nearly $1000 commitment before they would even begin the search. Believe me, if they had had the person I would have joyfully paid them. Then, they continued to call, over and over again in spite of several requests to please please stop.

I purchased a package of 15 hours with Varsity Tutors because there were a lot of good reviews when I search the web. However, I am not able to get a good tutor in subjects that my son needs help with, e.g. SAT Math, AP Biology and AP Calculus. They were unable to find a tutor; or the tutor is bad. A couple of major issues are: I repeatedly requested an AP Biology Tutor at specific times that works for us. The tutor kept scheduling sessions while my son is in school; and claims Saturday is not available. My requests for new tutor were ignored. The instant tutor session for AP Calculus to help solve a homework problem also failed. The tutor was not able to solve the problem. My son talked more than him. Sounds like my son was leading the tutor to work on the problem. And Varsity Tutors refused to refund with reason as my request was too late; but finding a tutor consumed most of the time.

Before we had Varsity Tutors, we did an online prep thing. It had test questions that my daughter just went in and practiced at. Varsity Tutors has one-on-one interaction and they're 100% better. Meghan was my daughter's tutor and she was well matched to my daughter's personality. She's super smart, professional, knowledgeable and was interested in my daughter's success. She really understood what my daughter needed. She also did FaceTime with my daughter to do the actual stuff. My daughter did it for three weeks and it was very successful. She went from a 30 to a 34 on the ACT. I would use Varsity Tutors again for a test type of situation but I don't know if I would use them for regular tutoring because they're expensive. I would tell my friends that Varsity Tutors was excellent, that they should to go with the online platform and to make sure to like the tutor that they get. The only thing I didn't love is that I still get a sales pitch to use them again.

I was looking for someone to assist my daughter in writing a college essay a year ago and I found Varsity Tutors online. Price-wise, Varsity was comparable to local tutors and I thought I could probably get a better fit for my daughter. On my first interaction with them, we were matched with a tutor and it wasn't a good match. My initial reaction was that they didn't pay attention to what I was asking. But I spoke to a representative for our area and Varsity was very open and heard what I was saying. They matched my daughter Sarah with Lory from Colorado. The two hit it off and from then on, it was smooth sailing. Lory certainly helped Sarah move along and gave her some good approaches in her essays. She has gotten into Tufts University, the college of her choice and which is a selective school.

Varsity Tutours ultimately resolved my issue.

Reading many of these reviews I am in awe at how many horrible experiences people have had. I've been using since August (Now November) and never once had trouble! I got a Chinese teacher, ** Qi Li, and she is great! I love her. My biggest problem is it just costs so much! I feel guilty that I may not be able to get more hours unless they have a hell of a sale when my time runs out.

We had recently signed up for the tutoring with this company. From the start we experienced issues with the services and felt as ripoff company. The tutor never came as planned, showed up when we did not requested and auto email keep scheduling tutoring class when we had already canceled the services. As they give 100% money back, it's going to be painstaking. We requested the money back and after month, nothing has been refunded, not only they charge again after month making refund double the amount. Every time I called person James in NJ, he never replied, never processed the refund. I have called many contact numbers provided on website and agents in New Jersey, common answer, someone will call back, and goes to black hole. MY RECOMMENDATION BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS TUTORING COMPANY.

The tutor I got from Varsity Tutors was very good. She made sure I understood everything and because I suck at Math very badly, that's what I needed. She went the extra mile to make sure that I did what I needed to do and I passed every test. I also had some friends try and tutor me. One of them was a school teacher but they couldn't break through the fog in my brain to make me understand. I'm enrolled in an online bachelor's program with TCU and they hit me with everything right out of the gun. There was Algebra the first day but my tutor did something right and she made me go from dumb to smart. I'm very satisfied with Varsity Tutors.

Tutors receive low pay and no support from the company. On more than one occasion, Varsity got a student's information wrong and therefore, made a bad tutor/student pairing. Tutor support takes a very long time to email or call back and are all extremely rude. They are clearly not trained to support tutors. Another time, they left me a very rude voicemail after a new student (who I had not met yet) did not respond to my calls to set something up. They blamed this interaction on me. I had many bad experiences in the time that I worked here. My advice is to look elsewhere for employment; there are many great tutoring companies.

We have since been contacted by Varsity Tutors to rectify this situation. We have used them for my son to help with Advanced Algebra tutoring. We have had very good results, improving his grade from a D to a B.

I called varsity tutor with a simple question about how they select tutors and how much they charge for the tutoring. I got a lecture from a condescending woman who repeated her name thrice (like you do when you encounter an infant), told me twice that she was Deputy Director. And also informed me that this is an 'Elite' service catering only to the 'elitest' of families!!! But they think you will pay them $$ per hour for more of the crap. Also you cannot even try it out for 30 mins - you must directly pay and await a tutor they select who will change multiple times during your tenure unless you pay a huge amount upfront (like $7000 approx).

We purchased a tutor on 7/22/17 for 2500 for two daughters. The tutor canceled the first week and then he tried to tutor both at the same time, which we did NOT agree upon. He canceled a few times after that. We were unable to even evaluate him completely. One of his remarks was "I am busy right now and I'll call you when I have time". We were hesitate in complaining about him because they were so close to testing time and they convinced us to try online with this tutor and he even stood one of my daughters on that. This was a week before testing.

Company contacted me to resolve the issue. I am fully satisfied with the resolution.

I recently completed an online application to teach for varsity tutors, the online search for potential students. After being asked to complete 16 written questions, 10 live video questions, taking upwards of 10 math qualifying tests in a row, I was asked to complete the application by submitting a copy of my driver's license and fill in my social security number so that a background check could be done. I find this request an absolute breach of privacy and an untenable one in this age of identity theft. I spent over 2 hours jumping through the required hoops to qualify as a tutor and then I reached this complete impasse as I refuse to relinquish that information which requires compromising one's identity by submitting confidential information online. I think this is egregious and I think the company should be called out for this requirement as part of their application process.

I purchased a tutoring package for my daughter. I knew that there were no monetary refunds for unused hours but I did verify the package was both transferable and with no expiration date. Four months ago toward the end of the school year, I had 3 hours left. I tried to get a math teacher but they could not find one! I then was pointed to their online tutor where one contact equaled one session even if you needed help for just 15 minutes... That was out of the question (my kids use tutor.com for that). Now, it's been 4 months since they could not find a one-on-one math tutor, and I get a phone call advising my hours have expired!

I wrote a review that was posted on July 27 about not receiving a refund for unused hours of tutoring. I spoke to several different people with no success - until I reached Amy. She was wonderful and really listened to my complaint. She went out of her way to help resolve this issue. I am now receiving the refund for the unused hours.

I signed up for one hour for $80 as a trail. Two weeks later the tutor has not contacted me, they told me they were having issues with placement. I found another tutor and requested my money back. They say I signed a contract that I could only get my money back after one hour was used. The salesman and the website state there is a money back guarantee. In my book that is fraud, no service for payment and no money back guarantee. Steer clear.

I signed up and was told that I would be able to access instant online help and would be paired with a tutor immediately because my needs were urgent (within 24 hours). The sales rep complete misrepresented the service. Not only is the subject not available on their drop-down instant help page (90% of my reason for signing up), but the tutor is not an expert in my area. Also when I went to find customer service number to talk to someone about my concerns, the site was down. I was on the site earlier in the day and there was no warning the site would be down.

I was desperate to find an algebra tutor after I couldn't find any local tutors in my area. I asked Varsity if they had private face to face tutoring and they didn't. They offered online tutoring, which isn't for me and I just felt like I need a private face to face tutor. They made it seem like they are gods. Very good at convincing and persuading me that they are amazing. I didn't learn a thing, my first tutoring session was awful. Then my tutor canceled the second time. So they offered me instant tutoring and it was HORRIBLE! There was foreigners trying to teach me with accents. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Another one was rude.

This situation is amended & I did sign the contract with Varsity Tutors. They gave me one of their finest tutors named Christian, and I couldn't be happier with his personal service & attention to detail. I'm back in school at 46 years old, so having someone like Christian who is willing to do more than send me an email to make sure I'm on track is really important to me. Real people make a real difference.

I have been subscribed to the "Question of the Day: LSAT Logic Games" from Varsity Tutors. Many questions are not answerable. They do not contain enough information to answer them. This is a problem for someone who is practicing for the exam and trying to get the timing down. I tried to bring this up with Varsity Tutors via email but it is difficult to get in touch with them and I have not received a response to any of my inquiries. So if you're looking to purchase their service, I would do my research. Varsity Tutors reps do not feel it is important to address direct emails with complaints.

After an extended period company has offered to issue a $800 refund for unused. Issue has been resolved. Thank you!

This morning I put in a request for a tutor. I received a call right back (awesome) however it was 7:30 am in California and this guy called twice and woke up my whole house of teenagers and angry husband. I talking to him for a bit because my son needs help... He was very salty which is annoying and when he told me what he recommended and then the cost I said NO and hung up.

Varsity Tutors are responsive to your needs.  They address any concerns you have and provide appropriate solutions.  Initially, I was not satisfied with my daughter's tutor, however after I addressed it with the company, I received a call back from Amanda, one of their Directors, who immediately provided a solution that went above and beyond expectations.  I highly recommend them.

Have enrolled for English for my son. They [Varsity Tutors] find engineer to teach which makes no sense. Has one tutor who after first session never returned text to teach more and after 3 weeks says she is no longer with them. Now we have a tutor which is a good fit and have not fixed a time because some paper I have not signed. We have used 4 hours of our time and now you are doing finding such road blocks. I feel going to a local place who have teacher from the school in their free time teaching will be the best for my kids. So disappointed with the experience.

We started using your in-home tutoring services in 2015 for our daughter. We are incredibly happy with our tutor as well as the results our daughter has attained. We tell everyone we know about our experience and about how Varsity Tutors is the gold standard in academic tutoring!! Thank you!!!

After several calls and emails we finally spoke to someone who acknowledged our frustration with VT's poor customer service. We did received a refund for the unused balance in our account.

My son has always struggled with Algebra. He is a freshman in college now and away at school. He is taking a college algebra class now. He has used resources at the school but has still been struggling with his class. I reached out to Varsity Tutors and signed my son up for online tutoring. It has been great and is giving him the confidence boost he needs to get through the class. It is easy to set up appointments and they meet in the library based on my son's schedule. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors for online or in person tutoring if your child is struggling. It gives me peace knowing he is getting some extra help with a qualified tutor.

I have had a great experience with Varsity Tutors. I was in need of a math tutor for my son and they quickly placed me after hearing my son's needs to make sure we found the right fit. They constantly stay in touch to see how the process is going and make sure you are happy! I highly recommend Varsity Tutors!

This service is amazing. It's more than I expected at the beginning, then I can recommend to other friends. I think it's one of the best in merchant. Teachers are really good, good speaking, great content, all we need is there. If you don't understand you can ask and ask many times, that's great. Their platform is very easy to navigate. We were surprised the first time because I thought it would be more difficult, but I just need few moments. Well, preparation is one of the strongest points from this project. It is well prepared, everybody cares it and feel it. This project is growing up very fast.

Varsity Tutors were very helpful. They were very easy to use. The Tutor we had came to our home and was not only smart in the subject matter but also extremely personable. We achieved our goal, which was tackling the ACT test. I highly recommend this service.

My high school age son was having trouble in a couple of subjects so we turned to Varsity Tutor's for help and we could not be happier. This is the 2nd year we have utilized the service and it has made a real difference in his academic performance. We started with in-home tutors then quickly moved to the online format for the convenience. They have a vast array of qualified tutors to choose from. The new "on demand" product they offer is particularly helpful when he has a specific question on his nightly homework. They are a very professional company to deal with and I have recommended to many others.

This helped me a lot in my test preparation. It has plenty of practice questions for all sections of the test. You can use alone or with a partner/group. There are practice test sections as well to give you a feeling for what the test will be like. Well written by top-notch educators. The teachers who write and present the material have extensive experience in their fields. This is the best source of test information out there today. It was very easy for me to access all the materials needed to prepare for the GRE. It was easy to find the actual book material as well as all the material online. I highly recommend this. I used the book several times over several weeks. I did practice tests and questions by myself and with a friend. When I was confused on something, I read the advice and tips. It really helped me to succeed.

I think that the price was fair for what I got. A lot of prep books are overpriced these days and I didn't feel this way about this brand. I really felt like I was learning things with these prep courses. Also, things that I had problems with or questions about were cleared up for me. I was able to access all the material in various different ways. I could find them in store or online as well so I never had any trouble finding them. I would do the practice tests times as if I was really taking the test in real life and that helped prepare me a lot. I thought the practice tests were similar to the real one.

I learned to study better. I would recommend this course to my siblings and my friends. This was a great course. The teacher that taught me was very experienced. She knew what she was talking about and she helped me develop a better understanding of the things I was learning in school while also preparing me. The materials were very easy to access. I had my teacher do some extra tutoring. I stayed up all night in preparation for an exam over the length of a few months. We did review of all the material that was learned in class as well as extra work. We reviewed and preview each segment.

It helped the user through the basics of the GRE and what to expect; however, its in-depth analysis was lacking. I wish they would have further explain their answers. The teacher was helpful and insightful. But I just felt that something was missing from the curriculum to help me succeed on the GRE. I still scored fairly well, but I felt like I could have studied alone and been fine. The course was incredibly easy to access. The format was simple, yet effective. This was one of the few things this course got right in my opinion. Again, to reiterate, the course I feel did not prepare me as well as I would have hoped when I signed up.

Definitely helped me pass a test in an area I was struggling in. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without this assistance. I thank them sincerely. Teachers took their time with me, explained everything I needed help with and was extremely helpful even without needing help. Covered areas thoroughly. Very easy to access and navigate throughout. I didn't think at first it would have been so easy but I was quite surprised at how easy it was to navigate. If I hadn't prepared for this test I would have definitely failed it. I'm thankful I prepared in the manner that I did 'cause I wouldn't have been able to manage without the preparation.

I am happy with the Varsity tutoring. I enjoy the one-on-one experience and get good grades on my exams. I have a tutor in trig and it seems to help tremendously. The experience with the teacher is outstanding. No question is too dumb or too embarrassing. They give you their time and will go over the problem until you get it. The access is great. They work around your schedule and set up the days you want. The tutors will meet you on or off campus or even at a cafe. The preparation usually includes long days of studying hard. My tutor usually meets with me two days prior to the test. The day before, I will let them quiz me until I get it. Very helpful and friendly.

Varsity Tutors has made getting help for my son easy and convenient. He received a specialized tutor for help to achieve a higher score on the ASVAB exam. One of the best things is that any hours that was unused could be transferred to his brother who is currently receiving help to improve his ACT score! I am very pleased with the support and professionalism of this company. Thank you!

When I contacted Varsity Tutors, I was looking for someone who could help my daughter with middle school math concepts. She always gets good grades but she tends to need a little extra coaching and encouragement with new topics. She also needs math to be FUN and engaging. Once I contacted them, the Director reached out to me directly to understand what my child needed, how she learns, and a little about her personality. They quickly matched me with an AMAZING tutor, Nicole. Nicole is outstanding and my daughter doesn't dread her sessions because Nicole makes it fun to learn. I would highly recommend Varsity Tutors to any parent.

I own a dental practice in TN and one of my assistants wanted to learn Spanish dental terminology. She could speak Spanish, but did know Spanish dental vocabulary. She was connected with a native speaking Dentist in Florida who was amazing. They worked together a couple of times a week in Varsity's online environment which was great for her because she could work around her schedule. She really took the time to create a curriculum for her and tested her progression along the way. She suggested materials my assistant could use outside the sessions. Now, we can serve more patients in our area since she can communicate with the Spanish speaking community. I would recommend Varsity Tutors to anyone who needed academic help or to further their professional development!

I had excellent tutoring experience for my GRE preparation with the Varsity Tutors. I had a personal, one-on-one tutoring for the general GRE preparation. The tutor was knowledgeable and takes his time to explain the material that I did not understand. He also made the tutoring sessions engaging and therefore very beneficial. Scheduling for tutoring sessions was flexible - depending on my work schedule. During the sessions we discussed material, practiced essay writing and practiced questions in quantitative and verbal sections. The exercise for each day was determine by my knowledge level for a specific topic and what we both decided will be most useful for my learning process. At the end of each session, the tutor gave me assignments to work on before the following session. We discussed the assignments at the beginning of the sessions before we started on new material.

I started using Varsity Tutors to help prepare myself for the GRE. I was matched up with a perfect tutor, JJ, who I bonded with well. His teaching style fit my learning style completely. After a long summer of many tutoring sessions, I felt very prepared for my upcoming test and was very confident going in. I had a lot of support from JJ as well as encouragement. Without the tutoring sessions I definitely would have been a lot more nervous. I finished the test with a score I was glad to have and if I ever wanted to take it again I still feel prepared just from what I learned in my many tutoring sessions. I would recommend anyone to use this company for any type of test. They are fantastic!

Bait and Switch. This is a scam. They do not have tutors in your area. They tell you that and you have to pay upfront and then they just want to give you someone online. They told me they would have many people to choose from and that they had people with skills in working with students with LD. Trash. They don't. They lie to sell you. Going to be reporting them to the BBB and the Missouri attorney general's office.

My daughter needed a tutor to help her prep for the ACT exam. I used Varsity Tutors and was assigned an online tutor. I paid $1600 for 12 two hour sessions. The first few sessions went according to the schedule we set, then the tutor didn't show up for a session. Varsity Tutors quickly switched me to a new tutor and we started all over again. Once again sessions would be set up and then cancelled or moved for the convenience of the tutor. Several sessions were changed at the last minute or cancelled. The full amount hours of tutoring service contracted were not used because of the cancellations and rescheduling.

When you call they advise you they can find you a local tutor but before they can search you need to pay upfront for a minimum of 5 hours of tutoring. They called us back the next day, advised us there were no local Pre Calculus High School tutors available in the Austin, TX area but they found one in Colorado who could use a web cam and computer to tutor my daughter. We tried for several sessions. The tutor was not experienced in Pre-Calculus for high school students but she tried. My daughter felt like she needed a one on one person in person tutor to help her. We tried to get a refund but Varsity Tutors insisted once our daughter got to college they would be able to help us so leave the money as a credit on the account. Just last week we tried to locate tutors for college Algebra in the Brenham, TX area and were told they had no local tutors and that it was too late to get our money back. This company is a con and should be avoided at all costs.

BEWARE! Varsity Tutors is extremely shady, so heed this warning. I was initially very desperate for a tutor for a difficult class. Absolutely no local tutor was able to help me and even friends from university couldn't answer my questions about the subject. Alas, I gave in and called Varsity Tutors. Their 60 day refund guarantee and seemingly positive reviews was good enough for me, IN THAT MOMENT. HOWEVER, once I'd actually signed up, I realized how sketchy this company is. My warnings about the sketchiness this company hides: The website itself is VERY difficult to navigate. They don't even have a login button on the home page...So it's hard to log in to my account if I need to have an overview of my payments or tutoring sessions.

I feel I have to write something to raise the company's attention for the quality of their tutor service! I spent a big money, purchased hours from Varsity Tutors to help my kids' preparing for standard tests, PSAT, SAT and AP exams. They don't need seat in generic prep classes for everything but will need to target their weak spots. I expected this one-to-one tutoring be more efficient and effective to help them achieve the goal.

I had a contract with Varsity Tutors for my daughter (SAT). She had taken the exam twice before with no improvement and Varsity Tutors assured me that she would improve her score at least 100 points. She worked diligently with the tutor, but when she retook the test, she had the same score as before. When I confronted Varsity Tutors about their "100% money back guarantee" they told me that all they could offer my daughter was more tutoring. This was impossible as she cannot take another Sat and get into college in time. I was extremely disappointed with their false advertising of a money back guarantee. This was a terrible experience for my daughter and I feel swindled.
