That means the final essay is authentic and doesn't read like an essay someone else wrote. And I think the writing process itself that they went through, from coming up with ideas to talking about what makes a good essay, is a great experience for students to have even independent of the final result. We really appreciated this help; thanks, Cynthia!

I have been contacting them for OVER two months to get things resolved and I feel as if my review is deserved at this point. For some context, here is my message from July 21st 2023 after my last session. "I am very frustrated with Varsity overall. I thought this would be a lot smoother of a process. I left a review a couple sessions ago but decided to call again and follow up/get some things fixed. When signing up I told them my frustrations with School of PE being across the country and the fact that it did not make them as flexible as someone within the same time zone. I told them in my initial call my availability and my matched tutor was not available during those times. I wish knew I had to bring my own materials when I started. I have taken the exam with the materials I had before and not passed, so I wish there was more. I spent over 4k on 40 hours and he kept pushing me to spend $1,000+ on School of PE. End sessions early and not work on problems or continue to the next topic, we ended up not getting through everything that I had. My tutor over charged me a lot I reached out online and apparently nothing was done/recorded, and it took SEVERAL calls over weeks to fix it, when they said they would call me back the next day and never did. In fact, after all of this frustration voiced, he overcharged me at the end again. - Friday July 15 session was 2 hrs. & 39 mins - charged 3 hours - Wednesday July 19th was 1 hr. & 58 mins - he charged 5 hours I understand he should get compensated for his time and I am comfortable with the 2 hrs. 45 mins and 2 hrs. being charged but I will note that he just sat back and watched me do questions for an hour in each of those sessions, sometimes with his camera off. When I said he could time me for one question and we can review it so he was more involved, which I suggested more than once, he shot the idea down. During those calls I used my work phone once, they told me it was saved as to link to my account if I called from there but to call my cell phone but the calls I got over the last few days to check in what I want to do with my hours were all on my work which is somewhat inappropriate to have a lot of personal calls / leave voicemails on and I can get in trouble. During our sessions he would scroll though slides and tell me to read things on my own I'm assuming because he did not want to go over it. He would take 20+ mins to solve a problem during my tutoring time, then sometimes skipping the problem at that time and never going back to it in the next session after he takes time to figure it out. He would not remembering what exam I am even studying for every session. Saying "you should know this" may be a personal problem but I discussed with him my test anxieties the first day we met and it makes it really embarrassing when I get stuck or need help. In the end he was not able to make up all of my hours and ended our session asking if I could delay my exam, which again did not help my test anxieties. Overall, I took my exam yesterday and I did not feel fully prepared. In regards to those extra hours he was not able to make up/schedule, somehow when he still charged them... I'm expecting to get them back, I'm not sure what I want to/can do, really I don't think this service helped much and I thought I would get a lot more out of $4,000+ than I did, I regret signing up and I truly think I deserve compensation for this, whether it is (some/all of) my money back or a new person to take time to go through material with me if I don't pass or if I do someone new to go through PE material to prove the company doesn't deserve this awful review." I was contacted back a couple days later and told that they recognize my issues and would address them as they have been changing staff frequently. In regards to the tutor overcharging me, they would do a full review of every session I had with him and give me the hours back I paid for and then refund me as I signed up at the time, they offered refunds. Following up the next week I was told it was going to take a little longer and she also now was not sure if she could give me my money back and would need to submit for manager approval and would contact me August 19th. That day came and went and 4 days ago I called, no answer, so I sent another email to both the person I had been talking to and the general email. Two days later I got an email saying someone would contact me that day, nothing, then an email with an invite to meet with the person I had been talking to, great! When she called today, late, she did not even take the time to look at my name (I think she would remember being on the phone with me for 5+ hours), my email or my account and said she wanted to follow up on how things were going with tutoring and asked if I had taken my exam?! I had to explain to her everything all over again.
