Cancellation Varsity Tutors: Easy Method
What is Varsity Tutors
Overview
Varsity Tutors is an online tutoring and learning platform that connects students with tutors for one‑on‑one lessons, group classes, and structured learning programs. The service offers scheduled sessions, recurring membership plans, and specialty guarantees for certain purchases, with a Canadian site and localized offerings.
How to cancel Varsity Tutors
- To cancel or reschedule a single tutoring session (web or app): log in to your account, go to "My Schedule", select the session and choose "Remove session" or "Cancel Session". You must give at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a penalty; cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice typically result in a deduction equal to 30 minutes of tutoring time as a penalty. For app‑store purchases, refunds and cancellations must be handled through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- To cancel a recurring membership or stop future billing: there is no automated online cancellation for memberships or unused hours. You must contact Varsity Tutors customer service by phone or email. To create a provable cancellation record, send a written cancellation by registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to the company address (see the Address section below) in addition to contacting customer service. Keep all confirmation numbers and correspondence.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a single scheduled session properly, that session is removed from your schedule and future sessions remain unaffected unless you cancel the membership. When you cancel a recurring membership, future billing should stop once the cancellation is processed, but Varsity Tutors' policies indicate unused prepaid tutoring hours or credits are typically forfeited rather than refunded. App‑store subscriptions and in‑app purchases are controlled by the respective app stores and must be cancelled through those stores.
Varsity Tutors may retain account records, session history, and progress data according to its privacy and data‑retention policies. If you need copies of receipts, session notes, or progress reports, request them before cancelling and keep local copies of key documents and communications.
Will I get a refund?
Generally, Varsity Tutors does not provide refunds or credits for unused tutoring hours or prepaid credits when you cancel a membership; unused hours are typically forfeited. There are no standard cancellation fees, but the lack of refunds for unused time is an important distinction to plan around.
Exception: a specific Pass Guarantee for eligible professional certification exam prep purchases (purchases made on or after May 15, 2024) may allow a one‑time refund or credit equal to the amount of tutoring hours consumed if strict eligibility requirements are met - for example, taking the exam within 14 days of your last session and submitting proof of the score. Claims for this guarantee generally must be made within six months of purchase. For app‑store purchases (Apple or Google), cancellation and refund rights are handled by the app store, not directly by Varsity Tutors.
Varsity Tutors plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learning Program - 4 hours/month | C$299 | Monthly (6‑month commitment) | Includes 4 hours of 1‑on‑1 tutoring per month, unlimited live classes, assessments & progress monitoring |

Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumers may have a right of withdrawal (a "cooling‑off" period) under some provincial laws for agreements concluded away from business premises or online - often around 10 days - but application varies by province and by the type of service. Varsity Tutors' stated policy of not refunding unused prepaid hours may conflict with provincial consumer protection rules in certain cases. The company does not appear to explicitly align its stated cancellation policy with every provincial statutory right in its public materials.
If you believe your consumer rights have been infringed (for example, if you were charged after you cancelled, or you were not provided a clear cancellation mechanism), you can raise the issue with your provincial consumer protection office, keep documentary proof of your cancellation attempts, and consider a dispute through your payment provider if necessary.
Customer experiences
Many users praise Varsity Tutors for effective tutor matching, knowledgeable and patient tutors, flexible scheduling, and measurable improvements in grades and confidence. The Canadian site also features success stories highlighting personalized matches and progress monitoring.
At the same time, recurring negative feedback centers on difficulty cancelling memberships (no self‑serve online cancellation for recurring billing), unexpected renewal charges after cancellation attempts, and limited refunds for unused hours. Several reviewers report unsatisfactory customer‑service experiences when disputing charges or requesting refunds.
Documentation checklist
- Account email and username, purchase receipts or order numbers, and dates of purchases or sessions.
- Session history and screenshots from "My Schedule" showing booked/cancelled sessions.
- All correspondence with Varsity Tutors (emails, chat transcripts) and any customer service reference numbers.
- Proof of sending registered mail (tracking number / delivery confirmation) if you send a written cancellation to the company address.
- App store receipts (Apple/Google) for in‑app purchases and any exam score documentation if claiming a Pass Guarantee.
Common mistakes
Don’t assume that cancelling a single tutoring session is the same as cancelling a membership; session cancellations can often be done in "My Schedule", but membership cancellation usually requires contacting customer service or sending written notice. Missing the 24‑hour notice window for a session will commonly incur a penalty equal to 30 minutes of tutoring time. Expect that unused prepaid hours are generally not refundable unless you meet a specific guarantee’s conditions.
Other common errors include relying solely on email without getting confirmation, failing to cancel subscriptions made through an app store in the app store account, and not retaining evidence of cancellation attempts (screenshots, tracking numbers, confirmation emails). If your purchase may qualify for a Pass Guarantee, missing deadlines (for example the six‑month claim period or the requirement to take the exam within 14 days of the last session) can void eligibility.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel single session via "My Schedule" | Not applicable if timely; late cancellations incur 30 minutes penalty | Low |
| Cancel recurring membership (contact support / registered mail) | No refund for unused hours (generally forfeited) | High |
| App store subscription / in‑app purchases | Refunds handled by Apple/Google (not Varsity Tutors) | Medium |
| Pass Guarantee (eligible exam prep purchases) | Possible one‑time refund or credit if eligibility met and claim filed | Medium |
After cancelling
After you cancel, monitor your bank or card statements for any further charges and retain all confirmation messages. If you purchased through the Varsity Tutors site, review the member support resources for scheduling and cancellation: Scheduling help (Varsity Tutors member services). For details of the Pass Guarantee, see the Canadian guarantee page: Varsity Tutors Canada - Guarantee. If you used the app to subscribe, follow the app‑store refund process or see general guidance such as: app‑purchase cancellation guidance.
If you have unresolved billing disputes after cancelling, contact your provincial consumer protection office and consider contacting your payment card issuer to dispute unauthorized charges. Keep all documentation and confirmations to support any dispute.
