Summer is right around the corner as students finish their final months of school. It is this time of year we get many requests for tutoring. Summer should absolutely include time for kids to relax, play, travel and attend camps. However, this break provides ample opportunities for students to review and preview concepts for school. Is summer tutoring right for your child?
For the elementary child, summer tutoring allows for academic enrichment and review without the stress and rigorous schedule of the school year. Our tutors make sure sessions are fun and engaging. Tutors will use materials that are of high interest level to the student and even take students outside for sessions on a nice day. If the current classroom teacher has shared areas of concern where your child is falling below grade level, tutoring during this break can help fill those gaps. In addition, if your child is anxious about starting the next school year, tutors can preview material, providing confidence-building to start the year successfully.
For middle and high school aged children, most schools require summer reading and math work. Tutors assist students with long term planning so the work can be completed with little stress. Tutors also help students comprehend their required reading, take notes and complete any written component. In addition, tutors support students in completing both online and paper math packets so there is not a last minute stress to fulfilling these assignments before the school year begins. Again, summer allows time to work on skills needed for the next grade level in more relaxed environment and without other homework assigned during the school day.
For those high school juniors and seniors, this is a great time to explore college options and work on ACT, SAT and college essays. We have tutors who help mentor students through this process, so they can present their best to the colleges they aspire to attend.
We understand summer schedules constantly change between sports programs, camps and vacations. We work with your schedule and will plan morning, evening and/or weekend sessions to help your child complete their academic milestones. Contact us today to discuss tutoring and goals for your child.
