Best Teaching Centers In Kansas City Near Me

Klarissa J Mearite: Final Update: I have settled on three stars. I was able to pass my exam, but will not be using Varsity again. The effort to get the services I paid for was just not worth it.UPDATE: I was originally at two stars, but I received a call from one of the account managers (Brittany) within an hour of posting this and wow what great service. She listened to my concerns and we were able to come to an agreement on the hours that were canceled. Once I am done with my test in June I will for sure be trying them out for a subject of interest.At this point I would recommend them, but as a tip the moment something seems to not be working reach out to your account manager. They can come up with creative solution and make sure to check in more often._________________________________________I would not recommend Varsity Tutors for professional exams, specific actuarial.Pro:Wide variety of teaching subjectsPayment Plans offeredHours roll over to other subjectsSeems to have a wide list of tutorsCustomer service at the call center is great. Never too long a waitCon:Tutors are independent contractors. Think of the times you order an Uber and you can't find a rideVery expensiveYour tutor does not need to have experience tutorThe 30day money back is not as useful as it seemsI ordered 36 hours of tutoring in March 2022 for a June 2022 testing, total $3,600. These hours had a pass guarantee and 30-day money back guarantee. I was a little worried about getting in full 36 hours in between those dates and my account manager said it would be no problem with 2 hours per week.One week after purchases I was match with a tutor and we had two sessions and I realize it was not a fit. This pushed me to 3 weeks from the purchase date. Varsity Tutors matched me with a new tutor a week later which pushed me outside the 30 days for a refund.The new tutor is amazing, but the tutor has canceled sessions, a total of four so far have been canceled. I am a month out from my test with 24 tutoring hours left. Varsity Tutor's response 'You are outside the 30-day window so you can save them for a different subject or if you don't pass, we will refund you the full amount even though you didn't use all the hours." I completely understand the policy and am sure this is the script that has to be followed, but it seems odd that if their tutor canceled, I could not at least get a refund for the canceled sessions.I do believe the positive reviews are absolutely true for more general exams/subjects Varsity Tutor would be great since there is probably a larger tutor pool and you would likely need more ad hoc sessions, but not for true professional designation exams

Sydney Bernstein: I attended Kansas City academy from 2012-2014 and was a staff member during the 2021-2022 school year. My time as a student at KCA was transformative. After a tragic death of my parent in 2010 I was struggling academically and socially in public school. I would frequently skip school due to anxiety and depression. As a sophmore I knew I would not be able to graduate at the current high school I was attending and began to look for alternative options. A family friend who was a staff member at KCA recommended I come visit the school. From the moment I stepped foot in the door I knew I wanted to join KCA’s community. As a student I was given the opportunity and freedom to explore myself in a safe space where it was okay to be yourself and make mistakes. I was offered a lot of leadership opportunities. I wanted to come to school everyday. The faculty and staff were so welcoming and encouraging. For the first time in my life I felt seen, heard, and accepted by KCA’s community. I was so sad to graduate in 2014 but I have remained a part of the community one way or another 9 years later. I recommend this school for any student or parent looking for a academic environment that is creative and accommodating.

Richie Alamillo: I spent two years taking pre-requites for the program of physical threapy. I went for an interview the day they were deciding who would be getting accepted into the program and I can tell you that I am very disapointed because the majority of the people there werent even students at KCKCC but other people with more experience in the field who aren't even attending this college. DO NOT ENROLL IN THE PTA PROGRAM. you are likely to get rejected.

Ben Robinson: Overall, this school is a fantastic environment and safe place where your children can feel free to express themselves and their creative passions. Unfortunately, as this is a small school, there are some limits to athletic programs, but that does not mean that the school is un-athletic. the soccer and baseball programs are both excellent and provide your child with enough fitness training to be able to climb Mt. Everest. The school has incredible theater and music programs as well. Brian Miller is both an experienced actor and director, and he makes incredible shows every fall and spring. Trent Tinker is the band director, and he never fails to entertain with his fantastic performances and contagious enthusiasm. As stated above, I would recommend this school to any one.
