Varsity Tutors Review

The level of service, response time and follow-up from the company is outstanding. We primarily utilize the service for transitioning our 2 middle school children from public to private school (SSAT prep and courses to catch up with curriculum). The quality of the tutors in Geometry and SSAT prep is outstanding. The tutors are reliable, flexible and self-starting - they work well with given material or they create their own 'lesson plans' and homework. We did not have as good of an experience locating a qualified Spanish tutor with Varsity. It took them a little longer place a tutor following our request and after 2 placements we determined that we needed to look elsewhere. The service is expensive but it is well worth it. On one occasion we used their online instant tutoring during a 9pm homework panic attack. This is a face-to-face instant online session and your student can share any homework questions visually with a tutor qualified in the subject matter via Skype or an App (not entirely sure). We highly recommend Varsity.

My daughter was not able to take a group ACT prep course due to her schedule, so I contacted Varsity Tutors for an individual tutor. We have used Varsity Tutors for several years and have always been happy. Her tutor was amazing! He was very careful to cover all of the strategies she would need to complete the test, since she has ADHD and works slower. She received a perfect score - 36! Thanks so much!

I am a current tutor with Varsity Tutors in St. Louis, MO and I love my job. I love to help students achieve their goals and understand the information presented to them in their classes. I am currently a tutor for classes ranging from Human Anatomy & Physiology to Nutrition and Pathology. These subjects can be very hard to understand and grasp for students. It has been very rewarding to see my clients grow throughout our tutoring sessions and to see progress in how they interpret concepts more efficiently. I would recommend any student who is having trouble with a certain class or needs help on a paper/project to utilize Varsity Tutors!

My son struggles terribly with writing. He is an amazingly creative and intelligent 11yo, but has never been able to put the "pen to the paper." I believe he has dysgraphia. Dolores B. has been amazing with my son. At first I was hesitant to try an online tutor, but it has worked out perfectly! My son is seeing his confidence AND scores grow. Prior to tutoring, he could not do a cold prompt essay or even paragraph. His score went from a 10% to a 70% in just a little over a month of bi-weekly tutoring sessions. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors. The entire process and support from the company has been excellent and we're so glad we were matched with Dolores B!

Ms. MaryEileen Rufkhar is an amazing tutor. She is a true professional with many years of experience educating children. The amount of progress she can make in an hour is remarkable, and her visit is always one of the highlights of my child's week. Could not ask for a better, kinder tutor!

Horrible. Absolutely terrible. Talked to at least 10 different people who had no idea what the person before them said to me. Was told I would get a tutor that night, call back and "oh, I don't see anything about a tutor tonight." Disorganized, dysfunctional, disastrous. First thing they said when I first called was "no problem we'll have a tutor for you tomorrow." Now two weeks later, nothing. I can't tell you how many promises were made and just completely forgotten. I would end up writing a book with the complaints I have with this company if I keep going. These people will take your money and do nothing to help you. Will never ever use again. BTW, the only reason they have a high rating is because they have employees write reviews on here, not clients.

Being a tutor for Varsity Tutors has been a great opportunity to provide an excellent service to local area students while making a little extra money. The Varsity Tutors support staff is dedicated to increasing the success of the tutors and the clients.

Overall, it was a good experience. The tutor I had was very smart and was really good at explaining Calculus topics. When signing up I had the impression I'd have a personal tutor face-to-face. I ended up getting a UCF graduate who was still currently living in Florida which required webcam sessions. I was a bit apprehensive about the webcam tutoring, but after the first session my view totally changed. The webcam sessions ended up being prefect. It allowed for some minor schedule changes a few times and was much more flexible. Each tutoring session was 1.5 hours. For mathematics, and probably all subjects, I strongly advise having a small "game plan" together the night before your tutoring session to get the maximum benefit out of your tutor.

I have had various tutoring opportunities in the past, but working with Varsity Tutors has been the most fulfilling and flexible experience thus far. I get to work around a personal schedule, but still get many opportunities to tutor a wide variety of students. This is due to the efficient and careful pairings done by the company. VT has a great online platform that allows for tutoring students all across the country. The tools are easy and applicable to every subject I tutor. By working with students from different areas, I am able to advance my own teaching abilities. I will definitely continue to work with Varsity Tutors!

I have really had a positive experience teaching for Varsity Tutors. The application process is thorough and quick. Support is very available and happy. I wish they would help more with tax education/how much we can expect to owe in taxes, but overall a great company! I'm glad to be on the team.

I have used Varsity Tutors for the past year on two subjects (Organic Chemistry and Theology) and both were absolutely helpful. I ended up switching my In-person Organic Chemistry Tutor half way through because I felt I wasn't understanding how he was teaching me the material, so I decided to do a new tutor online. He was so helpful and took the time to explain problems slowly. He helped me with homework and always went out of his way to followup if I ever needed more questions to practice. I know Varsity Tutors do not have tutors that specialize in Theology, but the team found me a tutor that could help me with my Theology paper and the online tutor was SO knowledgeable about the Bible and building up better writing skills, I was so impressed and still am! He worked with me all week finding evidence for my paper, and he stayed up till 2 AM on the phone the night before to help me write the paper since it was due that morning. I am so so impressed with the dedication and time Varsity Tutors took to help me find the perfect tutors and they value their clients opinion. I definitely recommend this company to others.

I have been a teacher/tutor for quite some time and since I started with Varsity I enyoy tutoring even more. Varsity's team works hard to make tutoring logistics and communication run smoothly and this makes tutoring much easier and enjoyable for both tutors and clients. In addition, Varsity makes me feel appreciated

I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors since August 2016, and I love it! From the standpoint of an employee, I appreciate how closely they communicate with me and with the families with whom I work. Anytime I have a question, I know that I can call and get an answer right away.

I also love that they work so hard to match students up with the tutors who fit them best. Right now, I'm working with students who all need tutoring in my areas of expertise, and one of them is even enrolled at my alma mater. If my own child needed tutoring in an area that I wasn't familiar with, this is where I'd send them, because I know that I'd get a choice of people who really know what they're talking about and are committed to doing great work!

Our daughter has benefitted tremendously from her tutoring sessions for AP Biology with Karl (her tutor). He has helped her with organizing the material, tackling difficult concepts, and focusing on what is important. As a result, her grades in the class have increased to the B+/A- range and she feels confident enough to take the AP exam in a few weeks.

Isha Shah is an excellent tutor. She prepared my daughter for the ACT and with her guidance, my daughter was able to raise her score in each area of the exam. Isha is a phenomenal tutor and mentor!! She absolutely exceeded all expectations!

My son's grades have improved since starting sessions with Varsity. The online tutoring option eliminates the need to make allowances for travel time.

VT keeps innovating their methods on how to make the tutoring sessions more convenient and effective to both tutors and students.

I have been working as a tutor with Varsity for about two years now and it has been a great resource for me. They help clients find you which means you can focus on the tutoring instead of constantly marketing yourself. What really makes this company shine is its support staff. Nearly every day of the week you can count on someone being there to answer your questions and provide prompt support for any inquiries. As a full time biochemist, it has been a breeze to schedule clients however my schedule will allow and there is no pressure to take on clients nor will they drop any "surprise" clients into your schedule. You get to decide when and where you tutor. They even offer tutoring online, which can provide for an even broader client base. As a tutor, the possibilities are limited only to what you can handle in your schedule. As a client, you know you are getting some of the best tutors in your area. You can even request a specific tutor based on their online profile. If you're in the market for a tutor, or are a tutor looking to branch out, look no further.

This is a poorly run and not well monitored organization. They quoted one price and charged my credit card more when they discovered they had quoted the price for an academic tutor instead of a testing tutor for the SSAT. They charged my card more without my knowledge or consent and sent a tutor who did a very poor job covering the right material, was late for the first session and didn't show for the second one. The account manager was rambling and secretive about connecting me supervisors and management not letting me speak to anyone else. They are giving me trouble and a run around refunding the correct amount of money. DO NOT DEAL WITH VARSITY!

The tutor from Varsity Tutors for my daughter's SSAT was quite professional and very familiar with this important exam. She made test prep interesting and fun. Another agency that we talked to first, didn't have any idea what the SSAT test was, but tried to convince us that they could help my daughter prepare. You get what you pay for! My daughter did very well and was accepted into her school of choice.

I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for over a year now and have had only positive experiences. The system works in such a way that I can choose the students I would like to work with, students I feel would respond most positively to my tutoring style. I am still a college student so the flexibility that Varsity Tutors offers allows me to tutor year round. During the school year I typically only work with 1-2 students, while during the summer I sometimes work with up to 8 at a time.

The regional staff is very helpful, and I have never had a problem finding a student if there is room in my schedule. In my past tutoring jobs I have been responsible for keeping track and acquiring payment as well as tracking how many hours the client has left; at VT this is all done for you by your regional staff.

One of the best aspects of Varsity Tutors is their online tutoring platform. While I am at school I tutor exclusively online. This has been a convenient way to work with students without leaving my desk.

I would highly recommend working for Varsity Tutors for anyone who enjoys tutoring.

I started working as an independent contractor with Varsity Tutors a few months ago, and I have had a great experience thus far. I receive several tutoring opportunities every week and the flexible scheduling process allows me to juggle as many clients as I can without compromising my other commitments. I feel Varsity Tutors has done an excellent job matching me with my clients. They are all eager students, and I hope they have benefitted from my involvement in their learning process. I have been able to reach out to my regional directors with any issues and receive a timely and helpful response. I have experienced some technical difficulties with the online tutoring platform, but overall the platform contains a great many useful features which help me maximize my time and the online tutoring experience of my clients. As a certified test prep tutor, I sometimes receive opportunities to tutor students who are seeking preparation for a specific exam, such as a state teaching exam, which I am certainly not qualified to tutor. I hope these students are matched with tutors with the appropriate qualifications.

Only great experiences working with Varsity. Always quick to reach out and any issues were solved very promptly. Results-focused and personally customized, these tutors are A+!

I really like how easy it is to set my own schedule and work around my other commitments. The staff is very devoted and truly want you to succeed. The students are great and I really enjoy working with them.

Varsity Tutors are the best ! When my child was not responding to the help at the school,Varsity Tutors were able to match her with someone which she responded to in her studies. One time she went thru 2 tutors before she found a "match". My child can be frustrating to deal with. She is scatter brained at times and over commits. Our family has used Varsity Tutors for several years. They have always provided the best.

Kimi Shah is an amazing tutor. She assisted Lucas in preparing for the AP Chem exam and the ACT. With her guidance, he met his goal for the ACT and raised his score 4 points! We are still waiting on the AP chem scores, but he earned an A on his semester exam. Not only were we very pleased with these results, but it was also so impressive to see how much Kimi motivated Lucas to do his best. We will continue to use Varsity Tutors and highly recommend them to anyone needing help with school or exams.
Thank you!

I just started tutoring with Varsity back in March. I have had no issues obtaining clients and the staff has been incredibly supportive!

I like the instant tutoring option Varsity Tutors has. It s great when I have a homework question I need help with and my parents can t help me. I can log on and within minutes I m connected to a tutor in a specific subject. This has boosted my confidence with homework and in school.

I'm a tutor for math and physics. Since I joined about half a year ago, my experience with everyone at Varsity Tutors has been 10/10. Also, their online platform for tutors is very straightforward. Finding clients is also very easy, especially a month or so into the semester. I'm actually even currently located in Germany right now but am still able to do online tutoring so long as I can find clients who's schedule coincides with my own, which has been easier than I expected.

All of the directors at Varsity Tutors that I have worked with are extremely nice, helpful, and are always desiring feedback whether it be good or bad so that they know where they can improve. If you are looking for a part-time tutoring job, Varsity Tutors is definitely a safe choice.

With Varsity Tutors, I was able to move to a new city and immediately start to do what I love (and what I'm great at) without all of the expense and unpredictability that can come with attracting new clients on your own. Varsity Tutors expects excellence, and in return they make it easy to enjoy the best parts of being a tutor.

My daughter has been receiving help from Julia Wangler on Varsity Tutor and she has been a great source of help with test preparation.

Kevin is knowledgeable, very professional punctual and prompt. He is really an awesome tutor and we see a lot of improvement in my son's problem solving ability. We will not hesitate to recommend to others.

Our Math tutor, James has been a wonderful addition to our son education this past year. He has not only assisted him with algebra and chemistry but inspired him each week to try harder, think about colleges and what to do to prepare for applying to college. We look forward to having James tutor again next year.

I have been working for Varsity Tutors for 8 months. So far I have had very good luck with my clients because the coordinators have done such a good job matching my clients' needs and learning styles with my teaching strengths. I enjoy the flexibility of being able to set my own schedule and choose the clients I want to work with. The coordinators have also been very supportive when I have come to them with questions or concerns. All in all it has been a very positive experience.

Varsity Tutors provides me the flexibility in hours and scheduling I need to have a job as a full-time college student. Not only does it perfectly suit these needs but the clients that I am paired with all share similar interests and goals. In the process of my tutoring I have gotten to develop comfortable and friendly relationships with not only my students (both online and in-person) but the Varsity Tutors staff and team. No complaints!

Price is high but the tutors know what they need to

I worked with Varsity for over a year using both the online platform and the in-person tutoring. The company is very well organized, very helpful and accommodating to every personal request. It is very nice to be able to personalize your schedule and to chose what kind of students and subjects your are most comfortable teaching. My only little issue is that I wish they could have different pay rates for different type of tutoring as I don't think tutoring graduate level students should be paid the same as for tutoring high school students but other than that working with Varsity has been an extremely good experience.

Matthew Vassil was a great tutor! He was very personable and was able to guide me through everything I needed to know for the ACT. I only wish I had not wasted the time (and money) with another known organization because they did not even begin to help me meet my goals. I can honestly say that I would only recommend Varsity Tutors to anyone who would like to do well on the ACT. Thanks Matthew!

Roz was a fantastic tutor. Listening to him work with our son was rewarding. He was sure to confirm comprehension at each problem. Additionally, Varsity tutors team had excellent follow up and did a good job matching our schedule and subject matter needs with the right tutor. We did try a tutor before Roz and when it didn't seem like a match they just find another tutor we did not have to worry about an uncomfortable conversation or anything. Whenever our schedule changed it was easy to move or reschedule appointments.

Our tutor has really improved my son's confidence level. He is willing to tackle more difficult math problems and his grades have improved as a reault. She encourages him every step of the way. And he enjoys his time with her so it is never a struggle to get him there.

I began working for Varsity Tutors in January of 2016. I find the online module extremely easy to use and very accommodating for both the student and tutor. The teaching resources provided by Varsity such as the Whiteboard allow for an interactive learning experience that is unbeatable. I would absolutely recommend this service to both students and prospective tutors alike. I am very grateful to be a member of the Varsity Tutors family.

I have been working with Varsity Tutors for 4 years now. It is amazing to be able to work with the students and help them reach that ah-ha! moment when it comes to their studies. This is by far my favorite company to work with.. My time is flexible. My students are interested in learning.. My supervisors are always checking in to make sure we are meeting the students goals.

It is so easy for tutors and students to get connected through Varsity Tutors, even for tutoring the day of. If you need a tutor quickly, or a long term tutor, Varsity Tutors makes it simple to find a tutor who can work with your schedule.

Disorganized company. I am a tutor for them. I have responded to literally HUNDREDS of offers from them only to be told that they ve chosen another tutor. I currently only have one regular set of students after an entire year of responding to them. When they call me, they give me misinformation related to scheduling that becomes a deal breaker for both myself and the potential client, wasting time for both of us, and putting their reputation on the line. I was just promised a new client for Mondays; Surprise! The client texted me, saying Mondays aren t even an option! They create more hassle for all parties involved; Not a great business model.

They have no way of getting in touch, other than leaving a voicemail, and who knows when or if they ll even respond via email or phone call; Not very dependable, especially in a time-related event.

Further, I had to jump through several hoops, through a third-party website, just to access my 1099 forms, which I wasn t able to access until two weeks before the April 15 tax deadline.

Get your act together, Varsity!

Nicole and my daughter got along very well in Algebra 2. My daughter felt Nicole really helped her elevate her Math scores. Nicole was also very punctual. Good tutor!

Florence (Jeanne) is a wonderful tutor. She tutored our friend s daughter in Reading, and was very professional, organized, and experienced. Florence has several professional certifications and I would highly recommend her!

My Spanish tutor, Marcela was fantastica! She was extremely accommodating to my work schedule and this allowed us to meet twice a week as I worked on my conversational Spanish. The reason I engaged Varsity was so that I could better interact with native Spanish speakers on my job and in my travels. I made great improvement with Marcela and Varsity Tutors! Bravo!!!!!

We have been enjoying our Spanish tutoring sessions with Jonathan. We started six months ago and meet 1x per week. We use the online platform for video and screen sharing. Jonathan is extremely encouraging and has inspired us to try out our new skills.

Varsity Tutors was a huge disappointment. They are dishonest about their fees and reimbursement policy. I would never use them again.

Fairooz was a fabulous tutor and I credit her fully with my strong GRE score. She was flexible with meeting times, encouraging, and very well organized. I always knew what the expectations were going into each session, and she explained things clearly and methodically until I understood fully. I would recommend her to anyone and feel so lucky to have been paired with her during my preparation for the GRE!

Very convenient! Was able to get a tutor for my son very quickly.

I recently decided to change careers and step away from my middle school classroom, but I still wanted to find a way to exercise the passion I developed for teaching. Working as a tutor with Varsity Tutors has been an awesome experience that lets me do exactly that. I enjoy working for the VT team because they give me the opportunity to work with students from a variety of different backgrounds on the subjects I love the most. The regional staff is always responsive to students and tutors alike, and they work hard to meet the needs of everyone's busy schedules.

I would highly recommend the service to anyone looking for a tutor as well as people interested in becoming tutors themselves!

Our tutor, Quanda, did a wonderful job helping our second grade son with his math. He had always been strong in math but when the school switched to a new program, he was getting easily confused with the new formatting and wording of problems. It was really hurting his confidence.
Quanda did an amazing job of not only making it fun, but sequencing activities so that they built on each other to help him better understand the problems. We saw a huge improvement in both his grades and, more importantly, his confidence.

I have been working for Varsity for for almost 6 months now. So far it has been a good company to contract with. The interview process was thorough but not overly demanding. Like with any tutoring job it can be hard to count on consistent hours however I have usually been pleasantly surprised with Varsity's ability to keep new clients coming my way. If you were qualified for a wide range of popular topics (ACT/SAT/GRE/Math help) and had a lot of availability I think it would be possible to support oneself from this job. Otherwise, it is still a fairly well-paying and highly flexible part time job. I like being able to set my hours and sometimes I get to work from home which is great. Varsity also has a useful online tutoring portal and lots of supplemental material such as practice tests and flashcards. They have a lot of stuff for test prep (ACT/SSAT/GRE/etc) that is really great for the students and also makes it easy on the tutor as well. Their materials for regular homework help are not as expansive but also helpful. The administrative staff is very helpful, available, and seems to genuinely care that clients and tutors are satisfied should an issue arise. I have and will continue to recommend Varsity to parents, students, and tutors looking for employment.

This has been an extremely positive experience. Not only is my daughter improving her math skills she is learning and LOVING LEARNING! We are so fortunate to have been paired with Natasha, she is a true gem.Natasha loves teaching and it shows! She takes just as much delight and joy in seeing my daughter succeed as my daughter and I do. WOW! All teachers should take a lesson from Natasha to remember why they are teaching and know the impact that a teacher has on a student. Natasha is that teacher for my daughter! We are forever grateful for Natasha and Varsity.

I've used Varsity Tutors for two very different subjects now (orgo chem and psych) and both of my tutors were incredible helpful. Everyone at the company is very friendly and helpful and are usually budding experts in their field. Both of my tutors helped me immensely and even got me excited about the subjects I was struggling with!

So disappointed with the service. Requested at least 12 tutors from their file and not one was available. I was told that they know which tutor would click best for my son. Not true. Will not book the one session that I have left. Not worth the money.

My piano tutor, Jasmine, is excellent. She is always prepared, keeps me motivated and moving forward with innovative techniques, and she is patient and kind--a real gem!

Help....I need help guys. I have spent an hour or more on the phone trying to get my son a tutor. No shows....I am confused.

I have been a part-time tutor with Varsity tutors for a few years now and I love the flexibility they offer. I get to choose my assignments and my hours, and don't have to hassle with payment from the client. It has a been a great way to make a little extra money.

Varsity Tutors has been wonderful for my teenage son. They helped improve his comprehension in his core classes and helped improve his ACT scores by 3 points after only a few sessions. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors for any tutoring needs.

I've been working for Varsity Tutors for a little over a month now, and the entire time has been a really great experience. Easily the best part about it is that I get to make my own hours and choose the students that I want to tutor. When I started working for them, my finals were coming up so I chose to only work a few hours a week with a couple of students, but as soon as school came to an end, I was able to take on tutoring for at least a few hours a day. It's really great if you don't have a set schedule throughout the year like me, and need to frequently change your availability. It's also really convenient that I get a detailed description of the student before picking them, this way if I don't think I'd be a great fit for them I can just say that I'm not interested. What's even better than that, is that since I have offered to tutor online, I get enough offers for new students that I'm never worried if I'm not interested in tutoring a particular student. I've had a tutoring jobs and job offers before, and I can easily say that this is the best one I've had in terms of salary, hours, getting students, and even working with the personnel at Varsity Tutors.

My daughter had gotten the same score on the ACT three times in a row, and she needed one more point to get a full tuition scholarship. 3 hours with a Varsity Tutor and she got the score she needed!! I couldn't be happier!

I am a tutor for Varsity Tutors and I love the platform they have provided me to get in contact with clients. It is extremely straight forward and I can meet with students from elementary school all the way to college to help those students in need. The students I have worked with so far have been amazing and Varsity does an excellent job in making sure we are all compatible and also does phenomenal in following up to make sure there are no problems. I have loved my experience with them and if you need an extra job or if you need help with a subject, Varsity Tutor is an amazing company to work for and work with.

Thanks for a wonderful experience. I love that our child's tutor comes to our home.

Varsity Tutors always has a tutor for my son's needs in college. Plus on the few times that it hasn't worked out with a particular tutor, they have been quick to find another tutor that meets my son's specific needs. My son is studying Energy Management so his business classes are specific to the energy field and Varsity Tutors have been able to help with his specific needs.

We had a wonderful experience with Varsity Tutors! My daughter scored a 31 on her initial ACT. She wanted to try to raise her score, at least 1 point, since she was applying to some highly competitive schools. She worked with a tutor based in Dayton, Ohio - we live in St. Louis, MO. As a result of her work with Will, she was able to raise her score to a 34! She was thrilled and we couldn't have been more pleased with the service Varsity Tutors provided. They also followed up a few weeks after she took the test to see how she did.

Bassel was so incredibly helpful with GRE math prep! I'm very grateful for everything he did for me.

I recently began working for Varsity Tutors in St. Louis, and the experience has been very fulfilling and smooth thus far. I have tons of tutoring experience, as I've worked independently in the field for most of a decade and owned my own tutoring business. Of the three different tutoring companies and services I've had experience with, Varsity Tutors does the best job of screening its tutors and providing them with a well-matched set of clients. They don't bombard me with poor matches or make me do any of the preliminary information-gathering, which saves me several hours per week. I'm confident that the regional director will listen to my feedback and handle any issues very quickly. If you're a parent or student looking for a personalized service that will meet your needs, Varsity Tutors is an excellent choice. If you're a new (or more experienced) tutor looking to build a client base without sacrificing hours of your free time, Varsity Tutors has you covered. (Side note: I've had the opportunity to try out their online platform, and it performs well and has many useful features.)

My daughter used this company to study for the ACT. The tutor was top rate and made and wonderful connection with my daughter. The tutoring was successful and raised her ACT score 3 points.

Nicholas Nikolov is a fantastic tutor for the CPA exam! He was super flexible with my schedule and very eloquent when I was confused on certain topics. I would recommend Nicholas to anyone struggling to pass the CPA exam, and I definitely give him credit in my success on finally passing!

We had a very positive experience with Varsity Tutors. With 12 hours of tutoring my daughter raised her ACT score by 4 points, meeting her goal! Rebecca is a fantastic tutor my daughter was very comfortable with. Rebecca was most helpful with English and reading. Chase is another fantastic tutor we worked with who was a tremendous help with math! We are so glad we called Varsity Tutors!

As an employee of Varsity Tutors, I get to see how we are making an impact in student lives everyday. But now that my daughter utilizes our tutors for some of her honors courses, I can really see firsthand how wonderful the resources are!! She meets weekly with 2 tutors and this had really helped her increase her grades to A s as well as her understanding of the course material!! Thank you, Varsity Tutors!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We signed up (and of course were made to pay up front for a package of hours at a cost of nearly $900) for on-line tutoring for our son who is away at College, as he needed some intensive support for a math class and had a test he needed help for in 10 days. We spent a long time on the phone speaking with the agent explaining exactly what help he needed and she insisted they would be able to help via an on-line tutor. We signed up, provided our son's contact information and gave him theirs. As the 10 days clicked away, no contact for several days, then slow responses from the assigned tutor and we missed the test prep completely. We then decided to try to use it for the next exam.... but continued delayed response from the tutor (as both the parents and the son tried numerous times and we have documented e-mails sent and no response) and finally 2 days before the next exam they scheduled a session only to have them unable to connect due to technology issues. The varsity tutor technology support team also tried to assist but was unable to get the session connected. Upon contacting varsity tutors at this time, they stated we could have him see someone in person when in town over Thanksgiving week.... we let them know that we would have to talk to our son but did not know if that would be an option. We were never informed during this call that a refund was an option because we were in the 30 day window still and had not rec'd any services. We finally had to secure other tutor arrangements from someone closer to him to get him the assistance he needed. After missing the next test prep and securing other tutoring, we contacted Adriana at Varsity Tutors in St Louis. She informed us that there were no refund options, as we were outside our 30 days window, although we were never told when we contacted them earlier numerous times about the issues that there was a deadline for reimbursement. Even after informing them that due to our other children's ages, we would not have any use for a credit, she stated "it's fine, you can use it in a few years when someone else in your family needs it." When we explained that we were never told earlier that we had a deadline on getting a refund, she stated that we were a outside our 30 day window and there were no options. When we reminded her that we had completely discussed with the initial agent before signing up that we needed specific help for our son and his math class test prep and that they were completely unable to provide the service we signed up for and WE NEVER USED 1 hour of the package. She stated that we could surely find a way to use the credit as they have people from age 1-90 using their services. It was a simple request - we were unable to use their service in the way they promised, did not use any of the package and had a very valid request for a refund but were denied because they just didn't want to do the right thing! AND now they are holding nearly a $1000 of ours with no services rendered - Beware!!

I can't say enough about the experience we have had with Varsity Tutors. When our daughter was falling behind in your level, we reached out to them. We were blessed to get Amanda as her tutor. Over the years Amanda and my daughter created a bond that was beyond my expectations. She guided her to motivate herself, to be confident, and to push through the hard times. My daughter has gone past her current level as a fourth grader, and is now reading at a 5th grade level. Her grades are up, and we've actually been able to start getting her out of some of her IEP classes. She has a confidence to learn she didn't have before, and I owe that to Amanda and Varsity Tutors. We are forever grateful for what they have done for our daughter and couldn't recommend them enough to anyone.

Varsity Tutors is amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. The staff does a great job placing students with tutors. All of the tutors are great to work with as well.

I wa desperate,looking for a tutor to help my 6 years old son in first grade wit reading and comprehension. MY son is the type of boy that loves to play outside and not very fond of books or school stuff. Varsity Tutor found my son a tutor sent from heaven..it is just incredible when I see my son reading a book and using his cellphone to text his sibling...in just 3 months...the progress is outstanding....I'm very, extremely satisfied with the help...thank you a big lot..

Mike is without a doubt the best employee I've experienced. People, if you want someone who knows what they're talking about and can get you the best offer, I would absolutely recommend that you ask for Mike.

I have been extremely impressed with the service representatives commitment to find the best tutor for our particular situation. They took the time to get all the informational needs and had a tutor within a couple of days. While the first tutor wasn't a good match for us there was no hesitation in honoring their commitment of not paying for that appointment and began immediately finding another tutor. The second tutor turned out to be beyond perfect not only academically be personally. She is an amazing woman. I highly recommend using Varsity for any and all tutoring needs. They have been an amazing company to work with and I am grateful that they found the best tutor ever for us!

It has been great working for Varsity Tutors. Through VT, I had an opportunity to reach out and help students in person and online from all over the country. The local staff has been very supportive and professional in responding to my needs. So far, it has been a fulfilling experience for me!

We are extremely grateful for the quality tutoring Varsity Tutors has provided. The wonderful support staff made the initial sign up process simple and they really listened to help us find the right tutor for our needs. Our student has enjoyed woking with the tutor that was expertly matched to her, plus she has gained confidence in her studies, with her comprehension and grades improving. Finally, the cost of Varsity Tutors is a surprising value. We have researched what a good quality tutor costs and we are impressed with the quality that Varsity Tutors offers at such reasonable rates.

Our experience with Varsity Tutors has been exceptional. The pairing with Adam and his background in math and science has been invaluable to our son's high school freshman honors program. The online follow-up tool provides an immediate and thorough summary of each session. Adam has been a great mentor while providing deep knowledge of the material.

Terrible experience working with this company as a tutor. Hope they reconsider how much they compensate tutors based on the massive margain they're making from how much they charge students.

I was very impressed by the professionalism of Varsity Tutors. I was paired up with a tutor to help me in Business Finance, and my experience was excellent.
