San Diego’s Youth Mentoring Company Thriving in Economic Downturn

Due to the competition amongst college students fighting for spots at universities, the economic downturn; which has left people scrambling for jobs and learning new trades, and cutbacks in education, there is a huge market for mentors and tutors!

Tutoring and Mentoring are promising choices for professionals in all fields. It allows for scheduling flexibility whilst looking for full time work or working on your degree. You also help others learn and grow, which can provide a great sense of fulfillment, something we all need during this negative economic time. Many parents are still committed to helping their children advance their education, and are therefore turning to professional tutor matching services, such as ClubXcite, to locate and contract with experienced tutors and mentors. Despite the challenging economy, ClubXcite receives phone calls on a daily basis from parents looking for extra support. Recent College graduates are hungry for work, and ClubXcite connects qualified Tutors with students everyday! They hire throughout San Diego and never expect a Mentor to travel more than 10 miles from their home base. They believe that keeping it local takes the pressure of gas money and travel time away from each Mentor; and allows for longevity in the Mentor-Student relationship.

Each student has different needs but a typical phone call can sound something like ‘ my son has ADHD and is struggling to keep up with his work load. He knows the material but can’t show any of his work and his teachers can’t read his handwriting. I’d really like a Homework Coach to work with him twice a week to keep him on track and teach him some organizational skills.’

The poor economy is not stopping parents from investing in their children. On the contrary, with public schools loosing funding; the teacher to student ratio is at an all time high and valuable programs are being shut down. Parents are looking for ways to keep their children reaching their full potential academically, athletically, and socially.

The opportunity for parents to provide their children with extra academic support, and introducing them to new athletic and social activities is after school. Parents are looking for quality, convenient, and personalized after school opportunities that will engage their child. Affordability is important; but they see the value in spending more for a quality, goal oriented program where they can see positive results in their children.

These are the principals that have made ClubXcite, a private San Diego after school mentoring organization, a thriving company over the last seven years. ClubXcite offers parents a convenient and personalized one stop shop for after school academic, athletic, and social solutions. Whether it be offering one on one in home tutoring, a private sports instructor, after school enrichment programs at various schools, or a variety of services for children with learning disabilities, ADHD, and social or behavioral challenges, ClubXcite has solutions for all of parents needs.
