The Entrepreneur 360 List is the most comprehensive analysis of private companies in America. Based on this study by Entrepreneur, Varsity Tutors was recognized as a company that has mastered a balance of impact, innovation, growth and leadership.
Since the founding of Varsity Tutors at Washington University in St. Louis in 2007, the business has rapidly grown into an industry leader under the direction of Founder and CEO Chuck Cohn. Headquartered in St. Louis, with additional offices in Seattle and Phoenix, the company helps connect students with in-person tutors in 84 U.S. cities and online tutors nationwide.
