If your child is only just keeping up or if you want them to get ahead,
the summer slide can wreak havoc on the gains they have made over the
past academic year. You see, studies show that kids can lose up to 30%
of their math and reading abilities over the long summer break. Instead
of having a summer that leaves your child further behind, use this valuable
time to catch up, fill in those missing building blocks and forge ahead
of the class. Just a couple of hours of in-home and online tutoring a week can see
your child level up a grade by next semester.
The problem
According to findings in the National Summer Learning Association: “A
conservative estimate of lost instructional time is approximately two
months or roughly 22 percent of the school year.” Developing your
child’s abilities over the summer can really help them to keep their
brains working and developing.
Better learning means a better life
The antidote to the summer slide is to take just a couple of sessions every
week for one-to-one tutoring. Here your kids get personalized education
that suits their personalities, abilities and learning style. Watch their
confidence grow as they not only avoid the summer slide but fill the gaps
in their learning, and acquire the study skills they need to succeed in
the new year.
At Tutor Doctor, we want to foster independent learners who don’t
constantly need additional tutoring and help. Trouble is, most students
aren’t taught the study skills and organizational skills they need
to succeed in academics and in life. So through our Academic Game Plan
program, we teach all of our students executive skills. That means they
learn how to prioritize tasks, organize their time, and ensure that their
assignments are complete on time, that they leave enough time to study
for tests and that they always have everything they need. We don’t
want students to be dependent on our tutoring, so we teach the skill-set
they need to work independently and remove the academic anxiety that many
families deal with on a daily basis.
