Short answer
To cancel a Varsity Tutors Learning Membership, call Member Services, which Varsity Tutors lists at (888) 888-0446 in the US and +44 808 175 3453 in the UK, open daily. Memberships are fixed-term contracts with monthly charges, and Varsity Tutors says membership payments are not refundable. Ask when the cancellation takes effect, whether any charges remain, and get confirmation in writing. Use any remaining hours first, because unused hours expire monthly.

How we wrote this
TaleemSquare offers online one-to-one tutoring, so we compete with Varsity Tutors. The steps below come from Varsity Tutors' own help center pages listed at the end, checked in October 2026. Your signed terms always take priority.
Varsity Tutors' Learning Memberships are easy to start online, but cancelling works differently. Varsity Tutors' help center says cancellations are handled by phone through Member Services, and it describes memberships as fixed-term contracts with monthly recurring charges. Payments are not refundable.
That does not mean you are stuck, but it does mean you should prepare before you call. Here is how.
Is there a fix short of cancelling?
Before you call, it is worth asking whether the problem can be solved inside the membership. Common reasons families leave include a poor tutor match, a schedule that keeps clashing, or paying for more hours than they use. Varsity Tutors' help center explains how to adjust your plan from Program Details or with Member Services, and how to change the frequency of sessions. If the issue is the tutor, ask for a different match. If it is the cost, ask whether a smaller plan fits.
If the real issue is the contract itself, or you simply want a different kind of help, cancelling is the right move. Go in prepared with the steps below.
How do you cancel Varsity Tutors?
- Find your agreement. Log in, open your account menu, choose Account, then Agreements, and check the term length and any cancellation terms.
- Use remaining hours. One-to-one hours expire at the end of each month, so book any sessions left in the current month.
- Call Member Services. Varsity Tutors lists (888) 888-0446 in the US and +44 808 175 3453 in the UK, open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM Eastern in the US and 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM GMT in the UK.
- Ask the key questions (below) and note the name of the person you speak to and the date.
- Request written confirmation by email, including the date the cancellation takes effect and any remaining charges.
- Check your next statement to confirm no new charge appears after the confirmed end date.
What should you ask on the call?
- When does the cancellation take effect, and will I be charged again?
- How long is my fixed term, and are there any charges for ending before it finishes?
- What happens to any hours left this month?
- Can you email me confirmation of the cancellation and the final billing date?
Keep the call focused. Sales teams may offer discounts or a plan change; it is fine to say no and repeat that you want to cancel. Have your account email, your child's name and the plan name ready, and write down the answers as you go so you have a record if anything is disputed later.
Can you get a refund?
Varsity Tutors states that Learning Membership plan payments are not eligible for refund, and refers to its terms of customer account use for details. Plan on not getting money back for months already billed. If you believe a charge was made in error, raise it on the same call and ask for the outcome in writing.
Should you pause instead?
If you are stopping for a holiday or exam season, a pause may make more sense. According to Varsity Tutors, while a membership is paused you can still use on-demand videos, practice materials and adaptive assessments, but not one-to-one tutoring or live classes, and no monthly hours are added. When the pause ends, hours resume. Ask how a pause affects the length of your fixed term.
What mistakes should you avoid?
- Assuming you can cancel online. Varsity Tutors' help center says to call Member Services.
- Leaving hours unused. They expire at the end of each month and are not refunded.
- Not getting it in writing. Ask for an email confirming the end date.
- Signing up again without checking terms. If you return later, read the term length and renewal terms first.
What should your child do after Varsity Tutors?
Do not let the learning stop. Ask your child's tutor for a short summary of what they covered and what still needs work. Then line up the next option within a couple of weeks so skills do not slip. Even two short practice sessions a week at home keeps the habit alive while you choose, and a quick assessment will show the next tutor exactly where to start.
| Reason for leaving | What usually helps next |
|---|---|
| Cost per hour | A dedicated online tutoring service with lower monthly plans |
| Locked into a long term | Monthly plans you can cancel any time |
| Different tutor each time | A service that keeps the same tutor every week |
| Only needed one subject | One-to-one lessons in that subject, following the school curriculum |
