With two daughters having gone through the SAT/ACT prep and testing process, I have had occasion to try several resources, including two of the large test prep companies as well as a prominent local Test Prep & Academic Tutoring facility, but I was not entirely satisfied with any of these options. For my second daughter, I was looking for a company that could provide personalized service, one on one test prep, and the flexibility to accommodate her school schedule. My daughter had taken the SAT previously and was preparing to take the test a final time with the goal of breaking the 2100 mark. I needed to find a company who would work with my daughter over a very limited time period, and I came across Club Z! They offer one of the only services in Santa Clarita Valley that will take a student without requiring a long-term contract. We met with owner, Mary Beth Inchalik, who was responsive to our needs and set us up with private tutors, both of whom were professional, on time, and most importantly, very flexible in scheduling sessions that worked for my daughter. They understood what areas she wanted to focus on and were realistic about the time commitment she could make for Club Z! homework based on her other academic commitments. They focused on hints and tricks rather than just burying her in busy work. So many test prep services are cookie cutter programs that do not take into account the individual students’ abilities, but not Club Z! If you have a high achieving student who is working toward a high-test score, I suggest you give Club Z! a try.
