If you're looking for good reasons to hire a tutor, you should know that there are multiple benefits besides the obvious one of getting help with a difficult subject. In fact, the long term positive effects include everything from building self-esteem, self-confidence and feelings of self worth for a student to helping a student build a solid and long-lasting foundation for future learning. Here are other benefits you may not be aware of when thinking about good reasons to hire a tutor:

? One-on-one instruction is the most effective way to help students acquire new skills and learning objectives. Students benefit from individualized instruction with a tutor, versus a crowded classroom where it is difficult for a student to receive one-on-one support.
? Common Core State Standards are still a source of frustration for many students and parents alike. Working with a professional tutor, one who understands the different classroom curriculum and standards, can help ease that frustration and give students new tools to work through difficult homework problems.
? In fact, working with a knowledgeable, skilled tutor can help put an end to the homework wars altogether! If getting your child to complete his/her homework each night is more painful than a root canal, hiring a tutor may help bring relief to everyone in the family. A tutor offers a new voice, a different perspective, and a fresh approach to otherwise-difficult homework sessions.
? If you're dealing with other life changes, such as a move to a new school, a new classroom teacher, or other challenging life event, a tutor can help students stay on track and not fall behind.
? A good tutor can help with more than just homework - from SAT and ACT test prep to preparing for state standardized tests, and more!
? Tutors can also help all year long. Academic studies have shown that students can loose up to 2 letter grades of learning over the summer months and other long academic breaks; but working with a tutor can help students avoid that learning backslide.

While these are all good reasons to hire a tutor, you know your student best. If you believe that your child could benefit from one-on-one in-home or online tutoring, please call Club Z! today at 800-434-2582.

No matter how you look at it, college is an expensive proposition these days. Both public and private colleges and universities have had to raise fees and tuition as costs have increased. As a result, college student debt has skyrocketed and many students end up with loan payments years, sometimes even decades, after graduation. But with some careful planning and creative thinking, there are lots of other ways to help pay for college and avoid being stuck with big loan payments after graduation. One final but important step in the college application process is to include an application for financial aid.

As parents, and grandparents for that matter, we consider it to be a bit of a rite of passage to tell our children just how easy they have it compared to what we went through at their age. File this under the “when I was your age, I had to walk 2 miles to school each day, uphill both ways” category.

For any parent of a college-bound student, SAT and ACT test scores are no doubt at the center of most dinner table discussions. While no one will argue that test scores alone are the deciding factor in college admissions, and many colleges are moving toward a test-optional admissions policy, strong scores on the SAT and or ACT can definitely help a student’s chance of gaining admission to his/her college of choice.
