Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What subjects does Club Z! tutor?
We tutor every subject imaginable, from kindergarten readiness up to college-level material.
What experience do your tutors have?
All of our tutors are certified teachers or degreed professionals working in the fields they are tutoring in.
Do you use college students for your tutors, like some of the 'learning centers'?
We use only adults with bachelor's degrees, or exceptional students with a strong expertise in a chosen subject (such as Organic chemistry).
Will my child be placed in a class with other students like at the 'learning centers'?
All our tutoring is done one-on-one in the home. We do occasionally offer small-group tutoring sessions, usually at a substantial discount over our full rate and in a group studying the same subject, such as a foreign language or ACT test preparation.
Do you really come to my home?
We can work at a library if you prefer, but we really do come to your house on a schedule convenient to you. Besides school, home is where most students learn, so we prefer to work in the place where the students already do their work and study.
Do I have to be home when you're here?
Any student under 18 must be chaperoned by an adult, but you will be free to do whatever you wish during the tutoring session. Many of our parents use that time to catch up on some office work, and others use it to get dinner ready for the family.
What are your rates?
Our rates vary based on the student's age and grade level, and the subject being tutored. We not only offer the best value for tutoring in St. Louis, but our rates are among the lowest. We encourage you to call around and compare, because we're confident you'll choose us. Call us at 314-726-0044 to get specific information on the rate for your child, and to set up a free in-home consultation.
My child is very bright, but just can't seem to get his organization skills together. He loses work he's completed before the teacher can get it, and his grades suffer as a result. Can you help with this?
All of our tutors help the students work with organization and good study habits. For those kids wtih particular difficulty with this, we do offer a Club Z!-created curriculum called "Learning Built to Last." This program has simple lessons your child works on with a tutor, adding a new organizational technique or study skill to his tool kit after each session.
My child has been tested as "gifted," but her grades don't match her abilities. Does tutoring help?
We have several gifted-certified and experienced teachers on our staff, and they all say that gifted kids are very good at compensating for a weak skill or two. We've worked with many kids who, although smart, needed some remediation in certain areas in order to acheive their full potential.
My child receives special educational services at school. Why does he need a tutor?
Special needs children often need additional reinforcement of the material taught at school, and a special education-certified teacher can do this better than anyone else.
