Varsity Tutors Reviews in June 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Tutor Arianne K- patience of a saint

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.

Six year old who never liked school

My tutor for my 6 year old is so patient and helps keep my son on task. His attention span will only allow for a half hour session, but she does a wonderful job of keeping him engaged.
