August 23, 2006 // Franchising.com // As the nation's largest in-home tutoring company, offering one-on-one instruction in all subjects pre-K through adult, it should come as no surprise that Club Z! is a top educational franchise opportunity. With over 400 franchises nationwide, adding nearly 100 over the last year alone, Club Z! has quickly made a name for itself as a leader in education. It's hard to believe that the name that is now synonymous with affordable, in-home tutoring is the same name that started with a small start up in Tampa, FL.

But the secret is finally out of the bag. One of the nation's leading business magazines, Entrepreneur, recently published its Twenty-Seventh Annual Franchise 500 publication and Tampa-based Club Z! was ranked #110 overall! Additionally, Club Z! placed 3rd in the Tutoring Category! Placing in the top 25th percentile after competing against such franchises as McDonalds, 7-Eleven Inc., and Subway is no small accomplishment. Important ranking factors included financial strength and stability, growth rate, and size of the system. Additional factors included years in business and length of time franchising, startup costs, litigation, percentage of terminations, and whether the company provides financing. Financial data was also audited by an independent CPA firm. Every company with verifiable data received a cumulative score, and after the data was carefully and professionally reviewed, Club Z!'s score helped place it among the best of the best. As Mark Lucas, CEO/Founder of Club Z!, states, these rankings are phenomenal when you consider we placed ahead of such household names as Steak and Shake, Jenny Craig, and even Huntington Learning Centers.

Club Z!'s model is based on the proven success of traditional one-on-one tutoring, focused on the school curriculum. Club Z! tutors use the student's classroom texts, assignments, and materials as the focus of the tutoring session, and even provide the parent with measurable feedback for their child so they can track their student's progress. By reinforcing the classroom material and bridging any gaps left from the classroom, student's success begins to show within a matter of weeks!

And now, Club Z! is making a name for itself as a leading developer of curriculum with their wildly successful Learning Built to Last study skills program. The proprietary program boasts two diagnostic learning tools, a customized syllabus based on the student's needs, and a complete time management system! Parents and students everywhere are singing the praises of Club Z!'s Learning Built to Last program. Club Z! tutors are committed to teaching new and effective strategies for learning and homework. Their ability to connect with the student helps to forge a wonderful working relationship built on trust and shared goals, says parent Jennifer Nolan in Portland, Maine.

Club Z!'s goals include further penetration into the international market. Looking to expand on its already strong presence in the United States and Canada, Club Z! anticipates adding more franchises overseas within the next few years.
