Want to know if your Child needs Tutoring? Club Z! East Sound wants you to know the warning signs

Nov. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Club Z! East Sound offers a FREE in-home consultation, a complimentary hour of tutoring and there are no long term contracts to sign.


Bellevue, WA—(15 November, 2011) -- It's one of the difficulties of being a parent.  How do you know when a child is merely having normal academic challenges or when he or she truly needs additional help?

Liesl Mefford, Area Director of Club Z! In-Home Tutoring, located in East Bellevue, Renton, Issaquah, Newcastle, Kent and surrounding areas provides these tips.  If your child displays these behaviors, he or she may benefit from the help of a tutor:

1.  Resistance or unwillingness to talk about school or schoolwork
2.  Lack of motivation and confidence
3.  Self-degradation ("I'm stupid. I can't do it")
4.  Emotional reactions towards school, such as anxiety, panic, withdrawal

“When a child says, 'I hate school; I don't have to do it!' it can simply mean that they are confused or need additional help with their schoolwork,” Mefford explains. “Parents may miss the warning signs and then wait too long before getting the assistance a student needs,” she adds.

When Janet Drez's high school daughter came home with a low grade on her math final, Drez didn't waste a minute trying to find help for her daughter.  “School had been out for several weeks before we got the grades back, so I was unable to talk to the teacher,” she remembers.  “I was so relieved to know I didn't have to spend hours on the phone or scouring ads in the phone book looking for an appropriate tutor.  One phone call Club Z! East Sound and within two days we had a qualified tutor who was familiar with the curriculum.   I felt so much better knowing my daughter could improve her math skills and get her confidence back,” she added.

Once a student begins to realize they can achieve success in a subject area, it can influence their overall self-esteem and confidence in all areas.

"What parents may not realize is that it can take very little tutoring to help students at any grade level reach their potential and feel more comfortable academically," commented Mefford.  That's why Club Z! offers a free in-home consultation, the first hour of tutoring free and there are no long term contracts to sign.

Club Z! provides one-on-one, in-home tutors, who are well qualified and have been screened by Club Z! "Students in middle and high school are particularly hesitant to go to a tutor because they fear others will see them," remarked Mefford "We provide private, one-on-one tutoring in the student's home, so that a student doesn't have to let anyone else know they have a tutor."

Club Z! In-Home Tutoring franchises are now operating in more than 100 cities nationwide and offer tutors for all subjects, kindergarten through adult. For more information about Club Z!
