6 Benefits Of Summer Tutoring

Spring has officially arrived, and summer is just around the corner! It goes without saying that from now until the last day of school, students’ thoughts will be consumed with visions of sleeping in, staying up late, swimming, no nightly homework, and just hanging out with friends. There is one thing that is definitely not on their minds...SCHOOL. However, working with a tutor during the summer can and should be a part of every student’s summertime fun. Here are six ways a student can benefit from tutoring during their summer vacation:
​

• Reviewing material from the previous year will help students retain what was learned as well as reinforce basic skills.
  
  
• Learning new material to be covered during the next school year results in familiarity and comfort leading into the new school year.
  
  
• If a student(s) had a difficult year, having a tutor during the summer is an excellent way to be proactive about building confidence and allowing for a smooth transition to start the next school year (e.g. elementary school to middle school & middle school to high school).
  
  
• Students have the opportunity to learn valuable problem solving skills.
  
  
• Working with a tutor during the school year as well as during the summer can provide continuity and help students maintain newly acquired skills.
  
  
• Working with a tutor on a regular basis over the summer can provide structure to help keep your a students focused on academics in a low stress environment.
  
  

Don't let "Brain Drain"/"Learning Loss" take hold of you. Put in the work during the summer, and you will successfully avoid any anxiety, frustration, or stress when the start of school arrives.
