Meet your local franchise owner

Hi, I'm Deb. I run this place.

I've owned and run Club Z! Tutoring of South Orange County since 2009. In that time, my team and I have helped thousands of OC kids — from elementary readers to AP Calc seniors — get back on track in school.

I'm a parent first. When my own kids hit walls in school, I learned exactly how stressful and confusing it gets. The big tutoring centers felt impersonal. The agencies I called wouldn't pick up the phone. The match-me-with-anyone services kept sending tutors who knew the subject but had no chemistry with my kid.

That's why I started this franchise. I wanted to give other South OC parents what I wished I'd had — a real local person who picks up the phone, knows the schools, and finds the right tutor on the first try.

How we're different

We're a Club Z! franchise, which means our tutors meet rigorous national vetting standards — every one is background-checked, credential-verified, and screened for teaching experience. But every match decision is made locally, by me, for your family. Not an algorithm. Not a call center.

Our approach

  • Tutors come to your home — or meet your child online — wherever your kid learns best.
  • Sessions follow your child's actual school curriculum, not a generic workbook.
  • We match by personality, not just subject. Wrong fit? We re-match free.
  • No contracts, no enrollment fees, no diagnostic charges.
  • I check in personally to make sure things are working.

Tell me about your child. I'll suggest the right tutor and program — even if that turns out to not be us.
