My son had a scheduled tutoring session that was canceled solely on Revolution prep’s end and failed to notify me. It was only when I logged into the website at the scheduled time to find out the link disappeared. No email, nothing! My son is very upset as he was looking forward to the tutoring session. We planned our day around it but to find out Revolution prep canceled it. The way how it was handled was so unprofessional and they just lost a customer forever. My daughter uses Varsity and never had an issue like this. I hope the owner sees this and comes up with some sort of corrective action.

Tutors don't show up
Tutors don't show up, reschedule to a random day/time with no notice of class being rescheduled ( just noticed the calendar date changed ). Zero follow up when reaching out in regards to a no show tutor, and no one answers the main line.
Avoid!!!!

Misleading
The company is not well organized, the website is hard to navigate compared to others, and I found it incredibly deceptive to pay for 12 hours broken into 30 minute sessions, but they only go 25 minutes because of policy. Over time, that means while I anticipated having 720 minutes (12 hours) of tutoring, my child only receives 600 mins (10 hours) due to their practices. I would not recommend this company at all

SAT Prep - Parent Beware
Salesperson does a great job hyping the program - unfortunately, you’re required to pay up front, relying on the sales person’s representations, such as 1450 and above is easily reachabe at this starting score. Paid for private tutor, at the most experienced level (and most expensive) for SAT prep - child’s score went up 50 points . . . This is with doing Revo Prep’s homework, taking multiple tests etc. Unlike similar programs, such as Princeton Review, there is no score guarantee.
As a parent, you do get “updates”, but this consists of the tutor recording a video, asking what did we do today? And your child identifying the subject matter, “polynomials”.
Buyer/parent beware . . .

A waste of time
I signed up my daughter with Revolution prep and hindsight this was nothing but loosing money and even worse loosing valuable time. The first tutor spent most of the time chatting about this and that than actually prepping her for her tests. The second one was nicer and better but didn’t have what it takes to improve someone’s scores by teaching online. I seriously regret having signed up with them as they don’t take this serious enough in my opinion. I can not recommend Revolution prep to anyone!

We did not see any improvement after…
We did not see any improvement after taking this class even though our daughter did everything as she told. We got no feedback on why we and others in the class had no improvement. We will need to go with another company after wasting several weeks with this prep course.

This is a terrible service
This is a terrible service.
My son was supposed to take a practice SAT today with the rest of his classmates, but wasn't able to due to some sort of malfunction in their system. We logged in, we were able to see the online test administrators, but when we went to select the test from the drop-down menu, there was nothing in the drop down box.
I understand that there are sometimes issues with online test taking, but that's not why I'm upset. I'm upset because I called the 877 number and spoke to Rebecca Rayburn, who wasn't helpful, and just forwarded me to someone's voicemail. I tried calling back, and she didn't answer. I tried this twice.
I then call from a different phone number and she immediately picks up. I asked if there's someone in the IT department I can speak to, she then forwards me to someone else's voicemail. I call back, just to see if there's an actual person that I can talk to and get information about when the next test will be, and she doesn't pick up. Again, I called twice, no answer.
At this point I'm fairly convinced she's avoiding my phone call. I call back from a third different phone, and she immediately picks up! I asked her if there is a physical person I can talk to that can help me find a solution, and then she says, there is no one available to talk to until Monday. WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL ME THIS THE FIRST TWO TIMES I SPOKE WITH HER?
Then to top it all off, she then tells me that she will just send me the test the email and he can self proctor. AGAIN, why wasn't this offered earlier? Even if this is a last resort, she should have put in the effort to do so when she KNEW there wasn't going to be anyone to help me.
So just reiterate, she avoided my phone calls and kept forwarding me to voicemails where she knew no one was going to be available.

Hi Kristen,
I'm disappointed to hear about your experience being handed off and not being offered solutions to see if they'd work for you until later.
I've forwarded your feedback to the customer service team, and I let your academic advisor, Cynthia, know so she can reach out to you if she hasn't already and see if there's any way we can turn this around for you.
