Testimonials
"Thank you, thank you, Varsity Tutors. We started your services and have felt
it was money well spent. Our daughter improved her SAT score by a whopping 200
points. The tutor you paired her up with was perfect. They communicated well
with each other which made the learning process a success. The tutor was kind
and flexible with her busy schedule. Thanks again, we will be calling soon to
schedule tutoring for our next child."
Tamra, parent of 12th grader, Tucson, AZ
"After researching the traditional 'big name' tutoring services, I
came across Varsity Tutor's website and contacted them. On very
short notice, Kim found an available tutor for a specialty subject
that I am certain any other service would have only found a
generalist to handle. Within two days we had everything set up with
the tutor and began at home sessions. Our tutor, a Wash U senior
majoring in the subject matter, was excellent in all respects. Very
friendly, knowledgeable, understanding of the student's needs, and
flexible in scheduling. I would highly recommend Varsity Tutors."
MG, Crossroads College Prep, St. Louis
"Cat [our tutor] has been great! Jenny has made the highest grade in
the class(108 and 113) on her last two tests in Algebra II! In
addition to tutoring Jenny in Algebra she has helped Jenny to see
that she does not need to be intimidated by math!"
Debra, parent of 11th grader, Houston, TX
"We just got the ACT results and my son's score went up 4 points
from the previous test! He liked Blake [the tutor] a lot and
thought the tutoring really helped. Thanks for all your help."
Marcia, Kirkwood High School, St. Louis, MO
"Steven [the tutor] has done a fabulous job, his manner of
explaining the math problems has been wonderful and my son has made
an amazing jump in his semester grades and in his confidence level
to be able to master the concepts. Steven has a really great way of
connecting with my son on a student-to-student level and this has
helped to avoid the possible 'shut-down' that might have occurred
with someone who was much older. He has really been super."
Lynn, parent of 9th grader, Houston, TX
"Our tutor was great. Really gave our daughter the time and
explanation she needed. She raised her grade from a shaky C to a
B-. Most importantly she understands the material. Thanks so
much."
Joanne, Clayton High School, St. Louis, MO
"Our son had a tutor for SAT preparation. I believe the sessions
went very well. Our tutor was able to explain things to our son
that helped him understand them. I believe the fact that our tutor
is a college student helped our son relate to him since they are
close in age."
Denise, parent of 11th grader, Houston, TX
"Just wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with the
services offered by Varsity Tutors. My daughter was tutored by Brian
on the subject of honors algebra/trig. With Brian's assistance, she
was able to achieve a solid B. Brian's knowledge and flexibility
regarding scheduling were most helpful. We will definitely use
Varsity Tutors in the future if needed."
Susan, Clayton High School, Clayton, MO
"Our family has had a wonderful experience with Varsity Tutors. Our
daughter transferred to a new school and needed tutoring initially
in Algebra and subsequently in Geometry. I must commend VT for
being able to accurately assess our daughter's needs, and recommend
tutors who were more than capable in the subjects we needed. Our
daughter has completed her year with a solid A in her math class.
We couldn't ask for anything more."
Tamila, John Burroughs School, St. Louis, MO
"My daughter enjoyed working with Aaron [the tutor] and felt like she learned
a lot. It was pretty intense--I could hear them working through problems from
the other room. She felt challenged by the material but gained confidence
through successfully managing the difficult topics with Aaron's guidance and
support. At the end of the last session with him, my daughter proudly
proclaimed to me that he had given her a difficult problem from the GRE,
which she answered correctly."
Celina, parent of 9th grade student at Jones College Prep High School,
Chicago, IL

motivating and keeping Keith interested in the subject matter!"

reliable and smart. She has really helped keep him on track this year. Thank
you all for your support and ensuring that my son had a successful school year!"
Jane, parent of 5th grade student, Kingsley Elementary, Evanston, IL
"Varsity Tutors, just a note to thank you very much for your quick response to
the call for help with Calculus for my son. The initial email I sent was
responded to almost immediately and an appropriate tutor made available shortly
after that. Then when all the allotted time was not used, you even provided a
quick refund. Thank you for the excellent service."
Debby, parent of undergraduate student at Lone Star College - CyFair, Houston, TX
"In short: it went great. My GMAT score went up 120 points! My tutor Chris was
great at helping me develop an effective GMAT test-taking strategy and polish
my quantitative skills. His tutoring did wonders for my score. The first time
I took it, I got a 590, but 4 weeks later, I was able to score in the top 8%!
I was definitely happy with the price I paid, the great customer service I
received, the tutor I got, and the score I achieved in the end. I am always
happy to recommend Varsity Tutors to anyone looking for a tutor at Wash U.
You're running a great business, so all I can say is thanks!"
Brian, Senior at Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO

"Your tutor, Hanna, helped our daughter go from a 'D' to a high 'B' in her
geometry class. I highly recommend Varsity Tutors. The tutoring is very
professional and effective. We will be using your services again."
Lisa, parent of a 15 year old, Tucson, AZ
"The expierence we had from the first phone call until the first meeting with
our wonderful tutor, Angana, was perfect. Everyone was very clear on the process
of hiring the tutor service and the charges associated with it. They found the
perfect match for our daughter and even called to make sure we were happy. Our
tutor is here promptly and calls the day before to confirm. She has yet to be
stumped on any of our child's questions and she understands the material and is
able to break it down so my daughter can grasp it. This has been money and time well spent."
Tom, parent of 11th grader at Marist High School, Chicago
"I hated math, but needed to pass Calculus. I was failing the class and was
frustrated with the subject. At this point I decided to seek tutoring help.
It took plenty of hard work and many sessions, but my tutor helped me understand
Calculus quite proficiently. I made up for my failing grades and ended up with a
"B" in one of my university's more difficult Calculus classes."
Jerome, college student at Loyola University, Chicago
"Our tutors have definitely improved our son's academic performance. Thank you!"
Sy, parent of 6th grader at St.Cecilia, Houston
"We love Tatiana [our tutor] - she's great!"
Beth, parent of 10th grader at Memorial High School, Houston
"Andrew [our son] struggles with severe ADHD. Finishing his homework independently
has always been a challenge for him and it usually takes him all evening to
complete it. With the help of his tutor, he is able to finish his work more
quickly and accurately. This leaves him with some much needed down time and
has made him much happier at home."
Heather, parent of 9th grader at Briarwood, Houston
"Our son meets regularly with his tutor, and he looks forward to these working
sessions. The key for us is having the consistent contact with a highly intelligent,
successful, and supportive college student, with whom my son can interact about
his studies and freely ask any questions about the subject matter. The match
between our son and his tutor is terrific, they appear to enjoy each others
sense of humor too. It's a confidence builder and promotes our son's
independence about his schoolwork. His grades are great too. We are delighted
with our Varsity Tutors experience and recommend it without reservation."
Charlene, parent of 10th grader at Clayton High School, St. Louis
"My son's test scores have gone from "B/B+" to "A+". Reviewing the material with
a tutor who can challenge my son with the difficult questions has helped his
grades.The tutor has helped my children learn how to study for difficult courses. Thank you!"
Christine, parent of 11th grader at Parkway, St. Louis
"My daughter has always struggled with standardized testing. She had difficulties
improving her ACT score after taking the test several times, so we hired
Varsity Tutors. My daughter brought her score up by 3 points! We were thrilled!"
Jill, parent of 12th grader at Ursuline Academy, St. Louis
"My son's standardized test scores went up a great deal. We were very pleased
with the results. We would recommend Varsity Tutors again."

"My daughter’s SAT scores jumped 290 points as a result of her one-on-one
tutoring program through Varsity Tutors. I highly recommend them as the best
solution for students to get prepared for college entrance exams, especially
when every session counts and time is of the essence."
Jenny, parent of 11th grader at Duchesne High School

possible by picking Matthew [the tutor], I knew you said how great he was,
and he absolutely was! Thank you!"
Jan, University of Phoenix college student, Tucson, AZ
"I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with our experience using Varsity
Tutors. It has been a real pleasure working with you, and our son’s tutor was
excellent. Our son's first test result was a 30 on the ACT. After working with
the tutor for about 6 weeks, our son took the test again and it went up 3 points
to a 33. We couldn’t be happier!"
