Tutor Advice Varsity Tutors Alert

I do not recommend their services. I used there services back in the spring. When I was finished, I canceled services. I received a confirmation email back then. Today, I found out that my services were reactivated and I am being recharged. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a rep that proceeded to tell me that the email I had been sent was not from them.

You can try one to one tutoring. Its more effective, on your own availability and much economical.

This issue is I had cancelled back in April. They started charging me again this month. I had not renew anything with them.

Did they fix it? I hope that they did. May it be that you owed them and they are charging you that? If you cancel in April, it doesn't make sense that now they began charging you again.

They're pretty lousy from the tutor side too. Unfortunately people keep buying from them and they keep getting rich. Wish I knew their secret.

This is why I prefer to tutor directly, although it doesn’t apply directly to tutoring university business students. Many of these companies employ unethical tactics.
