San Marcos Summer Tutoring FAQ
Often, young people lose academic skills over the summer. For example, most youth lose two months of math skills during the summer. Over the course of time, this could lead to a two to three year learning deficit. This learning loss increases the achievement gap, which has been found to be a strong contributor to the high school dropout rate. Two to three hours per week of study is needed to prevent any learning loss, and pairing your child with a private tutor during the summer may be the perfect solution. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can connect you with summer tutoring in San Marcos.
Summer learning loss can be seen as early as first grade, so students of all ages can benefit from working with a summer tutor. Varsity Tutors will connect you with tutors who will assess your student's learning needs and focus. If your child has confusion concerning math, like addition and subtraction, geometry, word problems, or even algebraic concepts, these professionals will conduct structured math review or math play. Your child's study experience will be in your hands, and exploration of preferred topics is encouraged. We can locate a summer tutor in San Marcos who can complement your child's learning style.
Once a new school year begins, six weeks of the fall are typically spent re-learning material. Having your child study with a private tutor during the summer could greatly reduce this necessity. Your child's tutor will assess their strengths and weaknesses in order to create a tailored and individualized lesson plan. This is the lesson plan that might be followed during your child's tutoring sessions, which can be conducted at your home or at another convenient location of your choice. If you would prefer, your child can also meet with their tutor online via our face-to-face online learning platform. A skilled professional summer tutor in San Marcos, TX, can give your child much needed one-on-one attention.
Do you have a busy schedule, or will your child be involved in extracurricular activities over the summer? No problem! Your tutor will be happy to accommodate your scheduling needs, such as only during the evenings or on the weekends. Over summer break, it is important for your child to retain the information that he or she has learned during the school year. You can easily connect with a qualified summer tutor in San Marcos, TX, by contacting one of our educational directors.
