Have you ever hired a private tutor before?  How did you check her credentials?  Exactly...people jump through more hoops to become a hairdresser than to be a tutor.  Private tutors are generally smart people that hang up a flyer because tutoring beats getting a real job.  Is being smart sufficient to make a person a great teacher?  Of course not.  You have had countless experiences throughout your life of brilliant people who can't even tell you how to tie your shoe.  What is the difference with TutoringZone?  We are great teachers.  We know the material inside and out...but we also know how best to convey that material.  And if the best way doesn't work we have many more ways to explain it.  Not only are we aware of the importance of being a good teacher, but we understand that college kids need to be entertained.  Whether it is to create a competition between people in a review for a prize, or throwing candy at distracted students, we have the entertainment part down. We start with great people, smart and enthusiastic, and then we go to work.  Training makes the difference.  Each and every tutor undergoes 3-6 months of training before they even sit with a client.  Our tutors have taught or tutored their respective classes for an average of 3 years.

 Tutoring tends to have a negative connotation in our culture.  We have had many students say, "I'm smart, I don't need tutoring."  Or, "I go to every class, so I don't need tutoring."  First of all...every class? Every single one? You didn't miss one class when you were hung over or sick or just sick of the stalker that sits next to you? Really? Don't lie to us.....okay, that's what we thought.

 So what kind of student comes to TZ?  Those who want to succeed.  Period.  People that are 95% ready but want to be sure...people that missed a class or two...or people that have no idea what is going on.  Bottom line is this - the people that come to TZ are all people who care about their grades.  We have the unique ability to tutor to all levels in a group setting.

 Actually, a very high percentage of our students do make it to almost every single class. Seriously. The better the student that you are, the more you realize that every last bit helps, and that there are people out there (us) that can make things a lot easier to learn. The quick pace of the sessions and comprehensive Test Prep Packet mean that you spend less time studying than you would have on your own. Also, with the relatively new Plus-Minus grading system, every exam question is more important. And you are always going to have questions. Students that feel really prepared benefit from our reviews because we can help them get those extra couple of questions they may have missed otherwise. Finally, we know the teachers and we know the testing patterns better than anyone else. We know what is typically emphasized on the exams and what is not, so you don't waste time on things that aren't important.

 Think of TutoringZone as Grade Insurance.  Your key to studying smarter, not harder.  We create a road map for how to study because we know the twists, turns, and tricks.  We know not only the material, but the exam as well.  Our sessions are specific to your instructor.  In reality, we've taken this class every semester for 3 years.  One would HOPE we know the absolute best way to get prepared.

 So that is the long and short of it.  We're glad you took the time to read all of this.  We are so sure that you will enjoy the sessions that we offer most of our exam 1 sessions for free knowing that you will come back for the entire semester.  We also have a 100% unconditional guarantee.  What do you have to lose?
