It’s been very easy for Kyle

It’s been very easy for Kyle, my son to get support through Varsity Tutor. I have referred a couple of his friends to you also. He’s lucky to find 2 great tutors, one for math and the other for AP Bio. 💕 I wish there is more flexibility of rolling over the monthly classes. Sometimes, life gets in the way and it’s a bit stressful to remember if we finished using our monthly classes credits.

Patience and Encouragement

I really appreciate the patience and encouragement Ms. Cynthia gives my granddaughter. She gives her the confidence to try and not get frustrated. She keeps her engaged and takes the time to take a break and encourage her to talk of her day, activities or interests when she sees she is getting distracted.

Avoid the 20-minute sales trap

Avoid the 20-minute sales trap. Varsity Tutors uses high-pressure tactics to customize a program that isn't actually custom. They kept me on the phone for 20 minutes by probing into my fears about my child's academic future under the guise of personalized pricing. However, a friend called, spent only 5 minutes on the phone, and was quoted the exact same rates: $349 for 4 hours or $639 for 8 hours. The consultation is just an emotional play to get you to buy. Don't waste your time.

Never returning to this company again…

Never returning to this company again due to their billing shadiness. I paused a membership back in mid January of this year and noticed a charge on 2/24. When I called them to ask for a refund, they informed me that their policy is to - get this - pause for up to 30 days and then resume charging the account. No one explained this to me. In fact, when I contacted customer service, I wanted to cancel the account but was encouraged to just pause it. When I informed the agent, "I will reach back out to Varsity Tutors to cancel," at no time did he say, "Actually, our policy is that we will resume the membership after a 30 day pause." I informed the agent that Varsity Tutors needed to refund my money and his response is that it is Varsity Tutors' policy to make a "refund request" where my request is reviewed and then Varsity Tutors makes the determination as to whether or not they will refund. After the call with Varsity Tutors, I immediately called my bank to initiate a call back. I will never do business with this company again. They have clearly prioritized making money at any cost as opposed to operating with integrity.

They have called me more than once for weeks and when I called back to tell them I didn’t need their service, the lady hung up on me. Very unprofessional I would never recommend to anyone.

Italian lessons for upcoming travel

I’ve been taking Italian language lessons with Varsity Tutors (Elena Rougier) for 2 months, and I’m very impressed with Elena’s preparation and flexibility to adapt her teaching to my level! She has been extremely helpful and ready to add topics when I ask for more information! I have a trip to Italy soon, and now I’m ready to absorb more from my Italian experience!

NO REFUNDS

I want to start by saying the agent I dealt with was professional and courteous.Unfortunately, my experience with Varsity Tutors’ refund policy was extremely disappointing.This past weekend, my daughter was feeling overwhelmed with her accounting class, so we reached out for private tutoring support. After a brief conversation, I was sent links to purchase either four or eight sessions. I chose the four-session package for $399.Two days later- before any sessions were scheduled or used- my daughter decided to drop the course. I immediately contacted the company to cancel and request a refund. I was told the funds could be applied toward other tutoring services, but when I requested a refund instead, I was directed to the “fine print” and informed that no refunds are provided.No services were rendered. No tutor time was used. The cancellation occurred almost immediately after purchase.A rigid “no refund” policy under these circumstances reflects poorly on the company’s customer-first claims. Situations like this happen- students adjust schedules, drop courses, or change plans early in a term. A business that values long-term relationships would show reasonable flexibility.Very disappointing experience - shameful.
