"Misleading auto-renewal policy and poor communication"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

"I was fraudulently charged for sessions that didn't occur"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

"They are in it for the money, not for the students best interest."
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

That they had a wide selection of tutors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

My experience with Varsity Tutors was far from what I had hoped for, and it's disheartening to share my disappointment with their services. It felt like the main focus of the company was on maximizing profits, rather than genuinely caring about the students they were supposed to help.

For anyone contemplating Varsity Tutors, I'd honestly recommend looking elsewhere and avoiding the same unfortunate situation I found myself in. There are numerous other tutoring companies out there that prioritize their students' progress and provide well-qualified tutors who genuinely care. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scam - the "educational consultants" lie to get you to spend too much"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

"Good for what it is but not for what it costs"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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.

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

"Incredible company"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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.

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

you had many shape options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

"My Child's Online Learning Destination"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

"Great intro geography kid’s lesson"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.

"Amazing Platform for Online Tutoring"
What do you like best about Varsity Tutors?

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.

What do you dislike about Varsity Tutors?

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.
