DO NOT USE VARSITY. If i could give less than one star, I…read morewould. We signed up three weeks ago because my stepdaughter needs help in 6th grade math and language arts. After 3 weeks, we still have not had a successful tutoring session and I have had to spend almost 8 hours on the phone trying to get help. At first, they kept matching her with tutors who were trying to schedule sessions outside of her availability - which was in her profile. We had to do the work of calling and complaining each time we matched with a tutor and they scheduled an incorrect session. For example, she is supposed to have tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We got session requests for Saturday at 7pm. wtf? Then, their customer service sucks. Most of their service reps are outside of the US and there is no way to escalate and talk to a manager. They say that a manager "will call you back in the next 24-48 hours", but if you miss that call, there is no way to call the manager back directly. You have to go through the ENTIRE song and dance again, with a new rep that knows nothing about your case. They FINALLY matched our kid with a tutor available during her time, but only after I spent SEVEN HOURS on the phone with them on Monday and had to talk to multiple different reps. I was hung up on twice by folks who said "what do you want me to do? Ive flagged the problem.". This week, our 6th grader was supposed to start her tutoring but guess what? The tutor has cancelled BOTH SESSIONS this week last minute. On Tuesday, she cancelled about 30 minutes before our session and didnt find another tutor to step in. Today, she cancelled 5 minutes before our session without even a "sorry". I called the customer service line back and have just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone trying to talk to a manager about this with no luck. Interestingly, the customer service reps have no authority to help you with your tutor or cancel your membership. This place is a horrible scam. They do not care about you. They do not care about your children. They do not care about education.

Any question that my parents and I had, at any time, was answered. Looking back as I start my second semester at Columbia University, I could not be more thankful for the time that I spent with the amazing team at ESM!

My tutors always worked around my schedule and made meetings fun and educational. ESM truly wants their students to succeed on any life path they decide to take. I recommend ESM to every family I know with students still in high school because no matter how successful a student is, ESM can help.

The school was amazing at incorporating the Japanese culture in all the events and in the classroom. My daughter really really really loved her teacher. Her teacher was very kind. It seemed like they had about 4 - 5 events within our 6 month attendance. This allowed us to learn so much about the Japanese culture. I would attend their events again. They ask for parent cooperation. It's not required though. Parents have a say (vote) in a lot of aspects of the school, which is nice. They are a pretty transparent school. We might return in a few years. Check out their website for events and fundraisers. I hope this review was helpful

Thank goodness for Tutor Doctor!…read more I would highly recommend this company to anyone who feels like they need help for their children with all of the homework, projects, stress, etc. In other words, almost all parents! I signed up with Tutor Doctor late last school year after a friend recommended them because my son has ADHD and was having a tough time during his sixth grade year. Jeff, the owner, is wonderful, gave us a good deal, and set me up with Valerie who is an amazing tutor. My son is doing better with organization, completing assignments, and completing his math. Most importantly, he is calmer and less stressed because he is getting help and feels like he has an advocate in his corner. And I love it because I don't have to do the daily "homework battle" anymore. Jeff and his staff really care about the quality of service that they provide and have been a godsend!
