Raising Grades, Enriching Minds: New Club Z! in Southeast Georgia Helps Students Recognize and Work Toward their Own Potential

WAYCROSS, Ga., May 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With the weather warming up and the end of the school year upon us, an increased focus on study is the last thing on many students' minds -- a fact that may lead to unpleasant parental surprises when end-of-year report card grades come to light. On the other hand, a little preventative or reparative action this summer may be just in time to boost grades and catch students up to their peers. All it takes is facing the problem - and, in many cases, seeking a little expert assistance outside of the classroom.

Despite their best efforts, teachers simply don't have the time or the resources to provide much individualized attention to each child, and yet this type of focus is exactly what struggling students most need. Luckily, high-quality tutoring is often able to provide the edge students require to get ahead, and, noticing this need in Southeast Georgia, local parent Jeff Sloan saw a perfect opportunity to contribute to his community by opening a new Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services branch.

North America's largest one-on-one in-home tutoring program, with an excellent 15-year reputation and hundreds of thousands of happy clients nationwide, Club Z!'s unique methods provide intensive individual instruction in a student's own home - a location where distractions can more easily be minimized and a safe, solid environment for learning can be established. This allows Club Z!'s pre-screened tutors to more easily build children's study skills and academic confidence, as well as enabling better focus on the coursework at hand.  

"Club Z! provides the opportunity to help kids reach their full potential academically," Mr. Sloan comments. "It provides one-on-one instruction in an environment that is highly conducive to learning - the comfort and security of your own home, away from the usual classroom distractions."  

In-home sessions and flexible scheduling offer extra convenience to parents, as well, who appreciate not having to drive to and wait through sessions, and who are able to receive regular reports on their children's progress. Tutoring is available to students of all ages and ability levels in all core academic subject areas as well as for the SAT, ACT, or other standardized tests.  

"Each tutor we hire possesses a sincere desire to help students succeed to the very best of their abilities," Mr. Sloan adds. "We strive to make the tutoring experience both academically and personally enriching."

With insights gained from his background as a counselor and as a parent, as well as business experience from his time in sales, Mr. Sloan is ready for the new challenges of running a Club Z! franchise. His wife is also involved in the local community, as a director at the YMCA. Regarding his decision to enter the tutoring industry, he states, "Really, what guided this choice is just the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life for the better.

"As parents, we know first-hand the value of one-on-one attention - and just how much students benefit from the care and attention provided by Club Z!" Mr. Sloan concludes.  

Mr. Sloan's Club Z! location will serve Ware, Brantley, Camden, and Pierce Counties in Georgia, including Waycross, Blackshear, Nahunta, Hoboken, Woodbine, White Oak, Waynesville, and Waverly.
