Summer is great time for kids to catch up on their school work. You can sign your kids up for summer school, which is offered by many school districts, or you can enroll your child in a summer tutoring program.

Club Z also offers tutoring throughout the country. You can find a tutor near you by entering your zip code into the tutor locater tool on the website.

In addition to finding tutors through a national company, you may want to search for local companies. Many cities have local companies that advertise on the Internet or in local newspapers. You can browse the classified ads in your newspaper or on Craig's List.
