My daughter has been doing online sessions with Varsity tutors. Her teacher Berentha is an excellent teacher. My daughter loves every single session with her and she said that Berentha is the best teacher she’s ever had. Cannot thank her enough for all her contributions to my daughter’s progress.

Great to work with and makes learning easy.

Had some great tutors over past two years which helped my daughter gain confidence and successfully complete several AP courses as a sophomore and junior in high school. Disappointed with the business side of Varisty Tutors however and hence the three stars. Wasted at least 2000 dollars because credits did not roll over from one month to the next and because tutoring sessions were suddenly changed to 1.5 hours when you buy credits in increments of 2 hours. So, if you have four hours of credits a month and each session is 1.5 hours you are either shortchanged or pay more than expected each month. Also, a cumbersome process to cancel your subscription. Have to dig deep to figure out process to cancel and then there is a desperate and drawn out attempt to get you to change mind. Generally, left bad taste and won’t use again.

Very impressed with the program, I see my son's confidence is building

Arianne K was the tutor chosen to help my first grade grandson in phonics/reading.. She demonstrated the patience of a saint. I like her teaching style. The ability to have a one on one session early in the school year should be extremely important and valuable at such a young age so the child does not fall behind the speed of the classroom teacher and will advance nicely with the rest of his classmates. However there did seem to be an issue with the writing of notes on the screen by the tutor for Joseph to see.. I am hopeful this online system issue will be corrected by the time we have our next session.. Brian N

Amazing Platform and Tutors!

We used Varsity Tutors twice for SAT prep. Once for my son and two years later for my daughter. Generally, we are disappointed with this company. Specifically, the billing policy does not allow any flexibility. The membership starts immediately with a phone representative. It takes a few days to get matched with a tutor and then a few days more to complete the first session, if both you and the tutor's schedules line up quickly. The hours purchased must be used by the end of the contract month or they are lost. We had issues ranging from having trouble scheduling sessions to needing a completely new tutor for various reasons. All while the clock is ticking. When we finally had a good tutor match with manageable schedules, the sessions worked well. But the hassle was not worth it. In addition, when we tried to end the membership since the tests were going to be done, they persisted with hard sell tactics to get other Varsity Tutor products. This is just a company that is trying to maximize profits and doesn't really care about the student or the tutor. You're better off using some other tutor service. Update: While I remain dissatisfied with Varsity Tutor, I am grateful they called regarding my experience, apologized and provided a refund for my last payment. Kudos for taking ownership.

Completely disorganized. App does not translate correct information to reality. Twice inputted time needs for tutoring and when paired with tutor came back with wrong times that wouldn’t work, which delayed getting my son set up with tutoring. Also app didn’t translate time correctly - we inputted 1 hour and the tutor side it scheduled 1.5 hours. I receive constant phone calls from the organization to ensure I purchase more credits and get tutoring set up but when I try to speak to a supervisor about these issues, I am hold 45 minutes and never speak to anyone.

The tutor assigned to me, Azam, is super knowledgeable, patient, great at explaining the subject matter and how to apply the concepts to scientific literature and practice. Amazing! Great pleasure working with him. Iva Srdanovic

So far the tutors that my sons have had been great. That is why I gave it 4 stars. The only thing I’m not a big fan of is the time it takes to find an available tutor. My eldest son has been struggling with math (algebra) and has tests that count for 50% of his grade. The matching process takes a lot of valuable learning time
