If you've ever had a struggling student in your family, you know the emotional roller coaster he/she rides every day in school. Feelings of frustration, anger, sadness, and embarrassment are often felt by students who struggle to keep up with their peers. So asking these same students to sit for yet another test, and subject themselves to that much more scrutiny, just doesn't seem right. At least, that's how we feel at Club Z!, which is why we have never required mandatory diagnostic testing for our students.   We believe that each student is unique, and our approach to each student's learning plan should be equally unique. For each student enrolled in the Club Z! program, we begin with an intake interview. We talk with the parents and the student about attitudes towards school, least/most favorite subjects, extracurricular activities, factors impacting the student's current grade, and more! We look at things like homework assignments, recent tests and quizzes, and feedback from the classroom teacher. We then craft a learning plan that is individualized based on each student's specific needs. By focusing on the children, and soliciting their input and the input of those involved in their schooling, we are able to zero in on the concerns and help them get back on track in no time at all! In fact, our average student improves 2 letter grades in just 60 days!   In addition to our "whole student" approach to learning, we also take great care in selecting the right tutor for each of our students. This involves a review of academic proficiencies, personality, and teaching style. Our tutors are effective because they understand the personality, interests, and learning style of their students. We have seen time and time again that when a student is seen as a whole, both learning and self-esteem can flourish. That's why we even guarantee our match! Through our Z! Tutor Match process and our Z! Guarantee, we promise to find the right tutor for each student, guaranteed.   So if you think your child may need some help this school year, skip the testing and call Club Z! to get right to the heart of the issue. The sooner you do, the sooner we can help your child get back on track to academic success, and build back up his/her self-esteem.
