Varsity Tutors Reviews & Product Details

The tutor I had was friendly and seemed knowledgeable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm very glad I didn't sign a longer contract with Varsity Tutors.

I used Varsity Tutors for a month on a promo price. I needed to pause my membership and did so on their website, but then still was receiving text reminders for scheduled sessions. I then called to confirm that I was paused. The person I spoke with said I was paused and I had until the 16th to cancel or continue. It is now the 16th and I just got off the phone with them and they'd already charged a renewal fee. If "Until the 16th" doesn't mean "up to and including the 16th" then they should be more explicit about that fact when communicating with customers.

From what I've read elsewhere the general trend of Varsity Tutors making their auto-renewal charges not immediately obvious to people seems to be commonplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much I'm afraid. The entire experience was substandard and costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tutor stopped our program yet continued to indicate that the sessions occurred and Varsity Tutors is not willing to refund me my money despite the fraud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tutor was great and helped my daughter learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They misrepresented how the payments worked to get me to pay too much every month, then misrepresented how the 'summer pause' worked so that they could autobill me in August before school had even started. The guy on the phone PROMISED that the pause would not stop without me calling to talk about it. But that was not the case and they refused to refund the auto-charge that was fradulently done.

A great variety of tutoring options including extracurricular practice and occasionally some free options. The tutors are normally quite nice and surprisingly patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally you will get a less reliable tutor and it can be stressful getting a new tutor assigned. The service is also pricey. I do think it's worth the cost given the convenience, but in some places you could probably find equally good or better private tutors for that price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Varsity Tutors met me at a time when I most needed them. They have gone above and beyond what I thought an education based company ever could. I have seen great benefits in the short amount of time that I have been utilizing their services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had no complications with Varsity Tutors. I had an incredibly great experience with their client reps when originally signing up and they have followed up on any inquiry I have submitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We starting using Varsity Tutors with the Coyote Peterson class. My son love his YouTube videos. After that class, we started exploring the other classes Varsity Tutors had to offer and purchased small group classes Marine Biology and Big Cats. Not only were these classes informative in areas my son loves learning about, but also they were so fun. He couldn't quit talking about sharks and lions for weeks. Given these experiences, I am considering signing him up for 1:1 tutoring to give him the extra support he needs with his school work. Great experience so far!

I wish Coyote Peterson could come back and teach more classes! My son keeps asking if / when he will come back! If you are reading this Varsity Tutors, please bring Coyote back. I am sure thousands of kids feel the same way... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was interactive and intuitive to use in my opinion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was nothing I disliked about the program. My daughter was a bit young for the geography lesson, but that is about her competency at that age than the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One on one tutoring is the best way to learn any subject and Varsity Tutors makes one one tutoring easy and available to students. Varsity Tutors offers an amazing online platform for tutors wanting to reach a great range of students and subjects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Varsity Tutors currently has the majority of its students residing in the US and Canada which makes these time zones dominating in terms of availability. I would like to see the company expand its tutor and student data base to being international. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to connect with students. As a tutor, Varsity Tutors brings you opportunities to teach and assist students at all levels. Once you set up your account and are approved, you can begin using their interface and being sent students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whether or not this is supposed to relate to the software alone, I’m not sure. But as a tutor the greatest pitfall is the pay rate. The tutors are heavily underpaid in my opinion, and I believe Varsity Tutors takes too large of a cut (must be about 50%). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
