Tutoring
Club Z! offers in-home tutoring in all subjects for grades pre-K through 12, plus college and adult tutoring. Through its proprietary Z! Tutor Match, tutors are selected, screened and background checked, and assigned to each student. Tutoring takes place predominantly in the student's home, but may also occur in public locations such as a local library, community center, or on the student's school campus. In select locations, Club Z! also offers small group and online tutoring courses. Club Z! tutors work with students of all needs, including ESL students and students with learning disabilities. Club Z! can also provide full-time, part-time, or supplemental tutoring for home-schooled children.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, Club Z! is eligible to contract with under-performing schools to provide tutoring for their students. As an approved supplemental educational services provider, Club Z! can provide free tutoring to eligible students under this federally funded program. Club Z! also provides contracted services to other under-served populations, such as hospital or home-bound students, veterans, homeless students and/or students who are being served by other social service agencies.
