Varsity Tutors Reviews in June 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Regret signing up for this.

The tutor who was first scheduled for us arrived at the zoom session with apparently no idea what it was for (organization/time management/prioritization) and instead just asked what class my daughter needed help on. The need was never based on course content it was only to help manage college course load and navigate D2L system. The session ended with my daughter feeling more frustrated and inept than if she had never dialed in. Terrible experience.

The tutors are wonderful but your billing not so good. When you get a credit for your tutor canceling you should get 2 months to use it. Parents that have set schedules and work sometimes don’t always have enough time by the end of the month to make up a session. I’ve spent a lot of money tutoring my kids through your company and I’ve lost three days.

Terrible

Terrible. Truly awful. The services promised by this company are not at all what is delivered. They promise to provide expert tutors in their fields and match you with someone. My daughter was never matched to anyone as promised. What really seems to happen (as mistakenly revealed by a service agent) is that the company puts out “all points bulletins” asking “Who wants this job?” We needed Spanish 2 and executive function tutors.

Was able to explain processes in several different ways in order to make sure the subject was understood. Professional and very helpful.

I paid for a package but tutors keep leaving

I just cancelled the membership

I was using Varsity tutor for my 5 years old daughter. She can’t focus yet for 1 full hour and i request to do for 30 minutes session and i was told was perfectly fine, in-fact my contract specify 30 minutes sessions. I just cancelled the membership. They are charging me the cost of 1 hour for a 30 minutes session. I called the costumer service and they did’t help. Basically I payed for a service I never used. It was one of the worst experience with an online platform that I have ever had. ...

This is completely personalized tutoring.

The tutor, Alan, was amazing, with international experience teaching in multiple disciplines. He started at the basic level and helped me write, edit, and practice my speech. I am fortunate to have benefitted from his expertise and easy way of interaction. Thank you Varsity Tutors.
