The Tutors were well prepared, had excellent teaching/tutoring skills, were reliable and absolutely worth the investment. A few years back, my son needed help with calculus during his senior year of high school. The UC Davis student who tutored him was outstanding. During this last year, my daughter receive tutoring in physics and math. Her tutor was also an excellent teacher, patient, skilled and was also kind and very personable. Rich Lee is helpful responsive and professional in all of the scheduling and business part of the operation too. I would recommend Club Z! without hesitation. Reliable. Valuable. Easy to use!

I am a single mother with a son that is dyslexic. Although my son is very bright, he needs extra support at home with homework in order to succeed in school. I, myself am dyslexic and I cannot give him the help that he needs. I rely solely on outside support. I contacted Rich Lee in 2012 and told him about my situation. He has been the kindest, most understanding man and is very sensitive to my needs. He sent me a bright young girl that we call Yaya. She is professional, smart, prompt, knowledgeable, humble, respectful, hardworking, caring, and patient. My son loves her and spends hours doing homework with Yaya and never gets bored. Yaya is willing to go the extra mile to make sure my son gets what he needs to keep the straight A's he is getting in school. She comes whenever we need her, even weekends and emergencies. She has become part of our family. Rich Lee seems to have a gift of pairing tutors with children. We are so blessed and thankful for coming to ClubZ! We will continue to use Rich Lee's services until my son graduates from high school. I highly recommend ClubZ! to all those struggling parents that seem to think their is no other solutions. I do not know what I would do without Rich Lee and his services. I would like to say thank Rich Lee and Yaya for all your support.

Signed up my son for a SAT/ACT class. The website was very hard to navigate and confusing. Come on,…read morethis is 2014, your IT dept should be on top of this. Signing up for the class should generate an email for confirmation but it did not. As a result, we were in the dark about when & where the classes were held until I called a month before the classes began. They said an email will be generated the closer we got to the date. Again, we didn't get an email and we showed up at the Davis office on the day it should start and no one was there! After calling around for 30 mins I finally contacted someone in their Berkeley office to tell me it was canceled due to low enrollment. What? Thanks for telling me. We checked my son's call history and they did call once but left no vm. Also, I as the parent didn't get a call nor an email. For their credit (reason they got a one star), they were apologetic and tried to offer us tutoring instead but I'm not confident in their company enough to try them again. My recommendation: stay away. Unless they turn things around and become more consistent & reliable, you are taking a chance. I checked their reviews at their Berkeley office and several other parents had the same issues.

You have the option of a strictly online course, an in class course or both. I took both the online and in class course. It was very helpful because I always had access to each lesson online if I needed to review a lesson. The class is about 4hrs so your bound to space off at some point and this is where the online videos come in handy. I also had to miss a couple of classes but again I was able to see the lessons online. The course material for the LSAT is dense regardless of what prep course you take! However, the humor in the books, online course and the in class instructors make for a fun learning environment. My favorite thing about this course is how learnable they make the material out to be. They have a lot of resources to help students out and do whatever they can to help. My instructor Daniel was very down to earth, friendly and knew exactly what he was doing. I never felt intimidated to ask him to explain something again or in a different manor. My score increased by +14 points so I'm very happy with the experience and result after taking the course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to increase their score. p.s. Do the homework! It's how you'll increase your score and It will make your experience much better.

I strongly recommend taking a class with Kyran if she's still teaching. Regardless, the Blueprint method is stellar, and I recommend it to all my friends who are studying for the LSAT. The course is not cheap, but it's an investment that will pay off big time. Look around online for discount codes-- they can knock off a few hundred bucks off the price.

I worked with Max on calculus 2 tutoring from November 2020-April 2021. I had just failed calc 2…read moreand getting a tutor was my last hope and I am so happy I found Max! Max has a ton of resources available besides your own textbook and homework. For example I struggled with topics in calculus 2 that were foundational steps from pre-cal and calc 1 - thankfully Max had pdf textbooks and resources for pre cal and calc 1 that he could easily share with me so I didn't have to waste time searching on google or YouTube for help. When I first met Max I was feeling very overwhelmed, embarrassed, and severely lacked confidence in math. After having a few sessions with him I noticed how supportive he was and how much he genuinely cared about me understanding the material even if it took hours and multiple tries for me to understand it. He never made me feel judged or less than and that was one of the best feelings. The style of tutoring that I did with max was Monday Wednesday Fridays for 1 hour each on zoom. I would listen to my calc 2 lectures & work on the homework problems and when I came a across a topic/problem that I struggled with I would clearly identify what I was confused about. Then after I identified the issue I would email max a detailed explanation of why I was struggling with this specific problem and I would attach a screenshot of my attempted work on the problem. This style of tutoring worked tremendously well for me! Because I would clearly tell max what exact problems/topics I wanted to go over ahead of time we were able to maximize each tutoring sessions together! Max is not the type of tutor who is going to do your homework for you - so if that is what you are looking for then I'm sorry. But if you are a hard worker, genuinely try each problem, take good notes, and care to learn then Max is the tutor for you :) I failed calc 2 with a D in fall 2020 semester. I re-took it in spring 2021 semester with having Max as my tutor and I finished with a 95% in the class. I could go on and on about how thankful I am to have found Max as my tutor, but if you have any questions or want to know more about my own experience feel free to email me at hannahajax7@gmail.com

Not only did Max get me to where I needed to be to pass Statistics, he also showed me approaches to learning that helped me become a much more successful and confident student overall. I am an older re-entry student, and I had little confidence in my math skills which were rusty at best!. Max was able to guide me through complex material in a way that was compatible with my learning style and knowledge gaps. He did not so much "teach" me statistics.... he showed me how to approach the material and the concepts and we built a framework for learning that was very successful. Max embodies the very best skills of an experienced tutor and coach. He was with me through the entire semester step by step. We are now tackling Chemistry together. Max is a winning combination with insight and wisdom and the ability to partner with students.

From my AP tutoring needs as well as ACT prep (BTW increased by 5 points!!), Billy, Adam, and Justin really prepared me for the college application process.

Any question that my parents and I had, at any time, was answered. Looking back as I start my second semester at Columbia University, I could not be more thankful for the time that I spent with the amazing team at ESM!

My tutors always worked around my schedule and made meetings fun and educational. ESM truly wants their students to succeed on any life path they decide to take. I recommend ESM to every family I know with students still in high school because no matter how successful a student is, ESM can help.
