Students all learn at different paces, and in different ways. That is why Club Z!'s proven study skills program, Learning Built to Last®, begins with a learning style inventory. This helps Club Z! tutors customize a program to help each student's unique needs. Understanding how students learn, or their preferred learning styles, leads to better understanding and retention of information.

Are there really learning styles?

The Learning Built to Last® study skills program starts with a proprietary Learning Style Diagnostic Test. This test helps students identify which of five learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, sequential, and/or global) they prefer. Visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles are considered sensory learning styles because they deal with learning information through your 5 senses; while sequential and global learning styles have to do with the order in which you prefer to learn information. According to the study skills experts at Club Z!, understanding how you learn best allows you to study more effectively, and improve your knowledge acquisition and retention. In addition to the Learning Style Diagnostic Test, Club Z!’s Learning Built to Last® study skills program also includes a Study Skills Diagnostic Test, which identifies eleven different academic tools necessary for success in school, and shows which of those tools each student needs to use better. The results of the Study Skills Diagnostic include insightful details on a student’s memorization, concentration, writing, organization, test-taking, information gathering, time-management, anxiety, study habits, comprehension, attitude and motivation. Students suffering from poor grades across several subjects often struggle more from a lack of study skills than anything else. If you’re curious to find out what kind of learning style best suits your student, Club Z! is offering a free Learning Style Diagnostic Test now through February 28, 2018. Simply call 800-434-2582 or visit https://clubztutoring.com/academic-tutoring/learn-study-skills/ to receive your free learning style diagnostic test and a copy of Club Z!’s 10 Study Tips Every Student Should Know e-brochure.

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.
