The instructor I was matched up with is very thorough and understanding. She has an incredible way of reminding me and working with my memory to reassure that I'm not only pronouncing the words properly but reading them correctly
He’s amazing
He’s amazing. He truly cares about helping me figure out how to retrain and retain the information, and I appreciate it more than I can express.
As a full-time mom of a child with severe autism, having a tutor who helps me navigate this process and learn how to study for this exam means so much to me. I’m doing this because I want to make a difference in other families’ lives and help children like my son.
I feel truly blessed and honored to have someone who believes in me and is willing to help me through this journey. ❤️🙏

My son, the scholar
My son has come so far with his tutoring. Also his tutor is great, he was place with an excellent tutor. I like the way Varsity gives you feedback of your students lesson for that day. Also when ever we had issues Varsity was able to get us back right. Thank you so much and my son and our family appreciate are you are doing with our scholar.

Tutors are exceptional. Work well with my daughter and explain criteria she needs in her courses. They have given her confidence in her courses. They have been able to go over assignments with her and show her where she needed to make corrections and she is able to answer more questions in confidence

My experience learning Korean
Always helps me understand my mistakes. Urges me to think in Korean instead of translating from English. Each session is a positive experience.

Jason, who is my tutor was really amazing with my son, his guidance helped my son understand a lot more than he thought he knew. He was very detailed very prompt and worked really well with my son Blake.

We paid Varsity tutors for MCAT tutoring. They charged an extra two months despite services being canceled since the test was done and the services were no longer needed. They claimed it was a mistake but that since the charges went through they would not be able to issue a refund! After complaining they offered a partial refund of about $110 when the charges were over $700. They fraudulently charged our credit card and then didn’t reimburse the charges.
The services had been cancelled and since the MCAT test was completed, we obviously did not require anymore tutoring. They continued to charge a monthly fee despite the cancellation and despite their services not being used. That’s totally unacceptable. They are thieves.

Bait-and-switch scam artists; completely dishonest and predatory
My experience with Varsity Tutors has been nothing short of a fraudulent bait-and-switch operation, and I strongly urge anyone considering them to run the other way.
We called them with one clear, non-negotiable requirement: we explicitly and repeatedly asked for an in-home, physical tutor to come directly to our house. The sales representative on the phone looked us right in the eye—figuratively speaking—assured us that they could easily accommodate this, and rushed to take our payment information. They locked in the charge immediately.
The second the transaction cleared, the entire narrative shifted. The promised in-house tutor suddenly vanished, and they told us the only thing available was their standard virtual online tutoring program—something we explicitly stated we did not want from the very beginning. They deliberately lied and misrepresented their services just to get their hands on our money, securing the sale through outright deception.
When we demanded an immediate cancellation and a full refund for a service we never agreed to, they stonewalled us completely. They refused to reverse the charges, holding our hard-earned money hostage for a product that was completely different from what was explicitly contracted and promised.
Taking money under false pretenses and refusing to refund it when caught in a blatant lie is unethical, predatory, and unacceptable. Do not trust a single word their sales representatives say, and protect your wallet by staying far away from this company.
