It is impossible to use 8 hours let alone 4 hours during the months of Nov or Dec. Do not sign up for this service during those months! They only will do a "courtesy" credit for 1 month even if your child has no school or curriculum to provide the tutors. They do not provide any curriculum it is all on the parents.

Varsity Tutors has been fantastic for… many things but providing growth and development for both of my daughters

Varsity Tutors has been absolutely fantastic for both of my daughters. The tutors provided tremendous support and expertise, helping them get unstuck and overcome challenges in their learning. I’ve been able to see real growth and development in both of them, which is incredibly important to me as a parent.

This support has been especially meaningful given that I also care for my son, who has significant special needs and requires much of my time and during a time with caregiving for my parents and other challenges. Varsity Tutors’ flexibility and dedication have made a huge difference for my family and specfically allowed my daughters to have success during a very challenging period where my time has been extremely limited.

Thank you, Varsity Tutors, for your care, professionalism, and commitment to helping my children succeed. I highly recommend their services to any family looking for expert and compassionate tutoring.

As I have told my daughters, when you put the effort, my role as a parent is to then help you learn and help you grow and achieve and provide the suppport you need. Varsity tutors does this and is a great partner especially in an area (Education) that is a core value. Thank you!

Pay attention to the billing details -great tutor

First things first the tutor assigned to my daughter was great. The online mode was a little challenging, but the tutor himself was wonderful. what I am upset about is the way I was charged. If you don’t use all four hours of the lessons during the month you signed up for you lose them. they do not roll over to the next month so during the holidays when my daughter didn’t have school, she didn’t use the sessions, wasting about $150. I don’t feel that this was explained clearly to me. I also wasn’t sure when my monthly membership renewed and canceled just after I was charged- again losing over $300.

Update: varsity tutors called me after reading about how unhappy I was with the billing and was able to offer me an extended expiration so that I can use any hours I was billed for, but did not use. I am happy with this offer.

My tutor takes the time to listen to my concerns and he works wholeheartedly to help alleviate any problem areas that I may be experiencing whether it is my comfort level with the material or any misconceptions that I may have going forward with the subject matter. He is available to help and guide at any time. I feel that this tutoring experience is what I need to CRUSH my exam.
