At the time of the launch, the on-demand services were only available Monday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST. Club Z! said that it will expand the service hours during the first quarter of 2018.

2.  New and existing in-home tutoring clients can add the unlimited online homework help for as little as $99 per month. Clients who are enrolled with Club Z! for a minimum of 3 hours per week of in-home lessons receive the new service for free.

3.  According to Club Z!, all of its online tutors meet the same stringent vetting requirements as their in-home tutors. All tutors need to pass a criminal background check, have valid teaching credentials and relevant tutoring experience, and provide thorough references.

4.  Earlier in September, Club Z!’s online tutors began offering ACT and SAT prep classes for small groups. The online test prep classes are available on Saturdays and Sundays each month, in 3-hour lesson blocks, throughout the 2017-2018 school year.

Offers Free Learning Style Diagnostic Test for Limited Time

6.  From early December 2017 until January 31, 2018, Club Z! offered a free Learning Style Diagnostic Test for any student that was struggling in school. Interested parents could call Club Z! or sign up online to access the free test as well as receive a copy of Club Z!’s Study Tips Every Student Should Know e-brochure.

7.  The Learning Style Diagnostic Test helps students identify which of five learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, sequential, and/or global) they prefer. According to Club Z!, understanding which learning style works best allows students to study more effectively and improve their knowledge acquisition and retention.

8.  Mark Lucas, CEO of Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services, credits its Learning Built to Last® study skills program (which starts with the Learning Style Diagnostic Test) for helping the thousands of students who have used Club Z!’s services. Lucas said, “All students are unique, and have unique learning needs and preferences. When a student tries to learn something new, having the right tools to make sure that information sticks is the difference between feeling confident or feeling defeated. We developed our Learning Built to Last® study skills program to help restore confidence to students in grades 4 through 12. This program offers lifelong strategies for everything from active reading techniques to proper note-taking.”

9.  Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services has a presence in every major market across the United States and continues to grow every year. Although 2018 has just started, Club Z! has already opened two new locations, one in Port Orange, Florida and another in Orland Park, Illinois.

10.  Club Z! of Port Orange is owned and operated by Julie LaClaire, an experienced educator who has been living in Port Orange for nearly a decade. To celebrate the location’s grand opening on January 17, LaClaire had a Facebook Live event where local residents were encouraged to like and follow the Port Orange Club Z! Facebook page to participate in several giveaways as well as avail of special new client promotions.

11.  When asked about why she wanted to open a Club Z!, LaClaire said, “One of the reasons I chose to open a Club Z! was because of the individual approach Club Z! takes to help students succeed. This includes partnering with the classroom teachers, counselors, and other important stakeholders that share in the student’s learning experience. This is why Club Z! students see average gains of 2 letter grades in just 60 days. When everyone works together, the students absolutely thrive!”

12.  Around the same time that the Port Orange Club Z! location opened, the new location in Orland Park celebrated its grand opening. This Club Z! franchise is owned by Aerie Cunningham and will service the nearby areas of Lockport, Lemont, and Woodbridge. According to Cunningham, “Club Z! reaches students more quickly and effectively because tutors give students the individual attention they need, making each child more comfortable, eager, and confident about learning.”
