Making Learning Comfortable: Club Z! Builds Children's Skills and Confidence by Bringing the Classroom Home

RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing enough individual attention to a struggling child is an all-but-impossible task in a standard classroom setting -- a fact that many teachers regret but must accept.  For those children receiving additional tutoring services, the teacher-student ratio is sometimes higher, but many programs still focus on group learning, a situation in which any one individual's problems and challenges may be easily lost in the mix. Fortunately, there is a third option: the intensive, one-on-one tutoring provided by Club Z!, which is a perfect fit for any student specifically because the program can be tailored to that student's (and their parents') exact requirements.

New Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services franchise owner and Area Director Greta Albritton holds a Master of Education degree and is no stranger to the challenges of the teaching profession, having been in the business for over 15 years. "I've taught preschoolers to middle-schoolers, in private schools, charter schools, and even college," she states. "I have taught math, writing, reading, grammar, phonics, science, social studies, music history, music theory, private piano lessons, and voice." Yet with all of this time spent in classrooms in front of large groups, it is precisely the attention to students' individual needs and the one-on-one instruction in the security of students' own homes that Ms. Albritton now appreciates in Club Z!'s well-established tutoring methods.

"Club Z! provided me an opportunity to tutor about eight years ago," Ms. Albritton states. "I enjoyed being a tutor in a one-on-one situation after teaching 25-30 students in a classroom setting. Now I am a franchisee, and I appreciate more than ever the learning and growth that takes place in the comfort of a child's home. It is the most convenient way of supplementing a child's education."

As North America's largest one-on-one in-home tutoring program, with an excellent 15-year reputation and hundreds of thousands of happy clients, the Club Z! franchise is well-respected and well-loved for its supportive tutoring style and high success rates. The security and familiarity of the home environment allows many children to concentrate more easily and helps to eliminate distractions -- ultimately building the child's study skills and boosting their academic confidence. Meanwhile, the curriculum is centered around the child's own schoolwork whenever possible, with supplemental material only as needed, to avoid overwhelming a student who may already be behind. Tutoring is available to students of all age levels and abilities.

Club Z!'s methods offer additional benefits to parents -- for one thing, tutoring sessions are "parent-schedule-centered," Ms. Albritton comments. "We send tutors to you, so you don't have to go to a center and wait, or drive around for an hour during your child's session." With tutoring done in-home, parents are easily able to receive regular progress reports, as well as knowing that their child is receiving the type of high-quality, individual attention they need and deserve.

As a 10-year Eastern Wake County resident herself, Ms. Albritton is excited about her Club Z! branch's ability to help North Carolina's children build study skills and reach toward their academic potential.  "We have top-notch qualified teachers with an array of backgrounds and credentials to meet any student's needs," she says. Club Z! offers tutoring in all core academic subjects, from basic math and reading, to standardized test preparation, organizational and study skills, and more.

"I have always enjoyed being a part of learning," Ms. Albritton concludes.
