Tutoring Club

Wow after having my son in this program now for a little over seven months. What an advancement in his education. My son is now six years old and in first grade. I came here because my son was having a difficult time in kindergarten. His teacher even hinted towards holding him back. That’s when I decided to do what any parent would do find my son outside help. I came across this place on a google search. The Unilocal page reviews where very misleading. I was not sold after reading the reviews. I made a phone call to set an appointment. This must have been the best call I could have made during a very despairing time. Now my son is in first grade. My son now can spell and read without any problems. I would even go on a limb and say he is on top of his class. In only a few months I have seen huge steps forward. With these kinds of results, I decide to buy a block of hours. He will also be learning all his math with tutor club. Jerry and his staff has been great to work with and really care about my son success. This place has help my son from day one and because of Jerry&staff he has become a great educated student.

The owner will not refund any money once the contract is signed. So if your child is not happy with the services, You are OUT OF YOUR MONEY!!!

After hearing, on the news, about the interaction with the Comcast rep and the customer, I felt that I should write another review on this particular business. I’ll explain what I mean a little later, but first, I would like to mention a few points.
–I’m still trying to pay off a $ 750, («discounted») non-​refundable, balance.
–I ended up having to drop my class, because, I still wasn’t passing. (Rather than refunding money for the unused hours, I still have 8 out of 18 hours left to use.)
–Everybody there is helpful. (I had one tutor that explained things particularly well. He explained things in great depth. The explanations went over my head, but they were thorough. There was another tutor that went over an assessment with me. She was great. A word of advice though, you might want to keep track of the time. If you try to ask for help on a new topic, before your time is up, they document that. I’m not sure, but I’m assuming it counts as some sort of violation against you. I was reprimanded for asking for help on a new topic, a few minutes before my time was up. Had I known about that my time was almost up, I wouldn’t have said anything.)
–The owners are nice. (Most of the time I dealt with the guy. He was cool. He seemed concerned whenever I couldn’t make it in, due to a doctor’s appointment. Just don’t talk to him about getting your money back, even if you feel it’s not working for you.)
Earlier, I mentioned that I was writing another review for this place. I also brought up the incident with the Comcast rep and the customer. (Google it and listen to the conversation.) Here’s what I mean by all that.
I while back gave this place a one-​starred review. After only a few sessions, I realized that this wasn’t for me. (Retailers usually refer to this kind of that as «buy’s remorse».) I tried to cancel my contract, but the owner wasn’t having it. From there, I contacted the corporate office to see if they could help. They weren’t willing to help me either.
So, I went online to write a review based on my experience, which included, not being able to get a lot of work done in just one hour, the fact that I was paying such a huge amount of money, and the fact that the sessions weren’t one-​on-​one (which I was told about ahead of time).
So, one day, the owner called me into his office. He confronted me about my review. At that point, he accused me of trying to destroy the business and trying to «take away these people’s livelihood». He even guilted into taking down my review by bringing up little things that he did. (used their office computer to look up, and print, the bus schedule, taped up my textbook, because it was falling apart). This is why the review is now three stars, rather than one star. At one point, during his tirade, he brought up the fact that I tried to get the corporate office involved. He says that they «laughed» at the idea of me wanting to cancel.
The whole experience made me feel like I was sent to the principal’s office.
Now, this review isn’t meant to punish anyone, or put anyone out of a job. Also, I am not trying to tell people not go here. I am simply letting readers know what I’ve experienced. You can make up your mind.

The Tutoring Club is a gem! Both of my daughters have sharpened their math, reading and study skills under the expert guidance of the owners and trained staff. As a parent, I couldn’t be happier to see the individualized and personal attention my daughters receive from the tutors. Test scores have increased, grades have risen, and their overall confidence in school has been well worth the time and money spent. Jerry and Kathy Clark, the owners, are wonderful to work with and always available to discuss the needs, progress and performance of each individual child. Without reservation, I highly recommend the Tutoring Club to all parents who want to enhance the academic performance and college-​readiness of their children.

I am so very grateful for The Tutoring Club! I have four kids, my oldest a sophomore in high school and my youngest a second grader. Each of them have spent time at The Tutoring Club and they have all excelled with their help. With my oldest they have helped her on a regular basis and most recently many hours studying for her AP BIO test. We have had them in to study for finals and are now starting the SAT prep program. My younger have benefitted from going in on a regular basis with reading and math. The owners are fabulous to work with and are more than willing to be a liaison with your teachers. And, my kids enjoy it! It is hands down the best thing I have done with my kids and it has made a difference.
