TutorVista

Before I began TutorVista, I was struggling with math. My teacher has a tendency to teach next grade material and totally ignore the curriculum. However, the concepts and ideas that didnt make any sense to me while sitting in the classroom, immediately made sense on an online whiteboard on TutorVista. They tutors provide thorough explanations while urging you participation so you can learn best. They dont just give you the answers, they show you how to approach the question. I would recommend this to anyone, struggling especially with Math. What a lifesaver!

Watch out when you go to pay for the tutoring. They say probably in very small writing that you have to use your hrs up with in a month or you have to subscribe for more hrs. I for some reason did not even see that you have to use all your hrs within a month otherwise i would have! I believe they ripped me off because i cant even go back in the site unless i subscribe for more hrs! Stay away from this site not professional at all! 0 stars!

My daughter was struggling with her class in Algebra I and II. I paid TutorVista for a 3 months. She was okay with them for the first month and then she was told that their website will be upgraded and there will be no connection while they will be doing the upgrade. They sent me an email that since it will take them time that they instead reimburse me like $250.00, back to my account. They never re-instate the amount they owe me. Is this not cheating for heaven sake on their clients? I will leave it for all of you to see my frustration with them. Good luck.

Firstly, I spent $119.00 for 15 hours and used less than 2. I then found out that whatever you purchase needs to be used in a 30 day period or it will expire. Essentially, I've been told there is nothing they can do to help me with extending time or refunding money... zip, zilch, nada... you're screwed.

The tutor was unwilling to meet our tutoring needs which I specifically repeated time and again with this sales rep. I had to finally threaten the tutor that I was simply going to ask for my money back if they would not deliver and the tutor complied. However, with each question in the exercise that I had uploaded, the tutor need 3-5 minutes per question to review before helping us. That is why the lesson took 2 hours.

Very disappointed in this program. I was incredibly hopeful that this would not have been the outcome. I would highly recommend making sure that you know THAT YOU WILL NOT GET A REFUND FOR TIME NOT USED.

Avoid this web site! I found errors on nearly every page I examined. Some of the content is stolen from other web sites (including mine). This company should be shut down and forced to pay retribution for these thefts.

Unlimited is actually 30 hours ("oh but you can do as many partial sessions as you want until you hit 30 hours, so that is why it is unlimited".) That was their excuse. The tutors are extremely slow. Often times they would check out for five minutes at a time. Also, half the questions I had, they actually got wrong. This happened over ten times. They will also allow you to schedule a session, only to not honor the scheduling and tell you to check back later. Overall, I'd say that if you can find a few good tutors on there, keep requesting them and you will be fine. Some of them are very helpful

Most of the tutors are horrible... it is rare that my daughter finds a good one and when she finally does, they freeze up or get knocked offline... the best part? The scheduling system to try to get the rare "good one" back, doesn't work! Expect to get less than half of what you pay for. Customer service is horrible too. They push you and tell you you have 5 minutes to use their promotions. They also say they will credit wasted time but they do not. And don't give them your phone number because they will call and harass...

I have been using TutorVista for about two months. So, far I would rate this online tutoring average. Sometimes the tutor does not know how to solve the problem and if you tell them the answer key, and they got a different answer they will say "double check the answer with your teacher." Also, if you were already scheduled a session, the tutor did not show up. That happened to me more than three times. Overall, it is an ok online tutoring.
