I was referred through another family whose son got into UCLA after working with Ben. Ben helped my son improve 7 points on the ACT to a 33 score. Now my son is eligible for a lot of scholarships and has even gotten a full-ride offer from a few schools. I'm so grateful to Ben for being able to help my son - he is an awesome tutor!

I had a great experience with ClubZ. The issue for me with tutoring is not a good tutor, but being able to replace a good tutor. ClubZ and pritesh did a great job to work with me to replace our tutor within a few days. This is the difference between working with an Individual tutor and a group of tutors.
