The tutoring industry is largely unregulated, which means the quality varies enormously. Some tutoring services can genuinely transform your exam performance. Others take your money and offer generic content you could find for free on YouTube. Here's how to tell the difference before you commit.
A general tutor who "also does TEAS 7" is not the same as a tutor who has coached 200 students through the TEAS 7 specifically. The TEAS 7 has unique content, question styles, and scoring nuances. Specialization matters — ask for specifics.
Testimonials on a tutor's own website are easy to fabricate. Ask for Google Reviews, Yelp ratings, or reviews on a third-party platform you can verify independently. A track record of real, named reviews is a strong trust signal.
Any good tutoring program should identify your specific weak areas before teaching anything. A tutor who starts with cookie-cutter content without first understanding your baseline is not optimizing for your results — they're following a script.
A tutor who is confident in their quality will back it up with some form of guarantee. This doesn't have to be a "pass or money back" promise, but some accountability — like re-doing a session that didn't meet expectations — is a reasonable expectation.
Pre-packaged tutoring plans that don't adapt based on your week-by-week results are less effective than dynamic plans. Ask how the tutor adjusts the study plan if you're struggling — or if you're ahead of schedule.
💡 Red flags to avoid: No verifiable reviews, no diagnostic before starting, no refund policy, won't answer questions before you pay, and guarantees you a specific score without knowing anything about you.
