Winnipeg Summer Tutoring FAQ
Are you looking to get more help in a subject you find particularly challenging before the next school year starts? Are the summer months the only possible time for you to devote your full time and attention to studying for an important exam? Summer does not need to just be about leisure and relaxation. It can be an excellent opportunity to continue your education.
The average American student loses one to two months of academic progress during the summer. In a society that increasingly tests your skill set quantitatively through admissions tests such as the LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, GRE, SAT, and ACT, along with many others, this regression can be highly problematic at all levels of education. Summer tutoring can help you stay sharp, even when classes aren't in session. Don't let all the hard work you put in over the course of the school year go to waste and fade away during the summer months.
To combat any loss of key skills in the summer, Varsity Tutors can help introduce you to tutors in regions across the United States. These summer tutoring sessions are tailored to the specific needs and academic abilities of each student. No summer session will be like any other, because no student is exactly like any other. Every student learns best in their own specific way, and private tutors use knowledge of this fact to personalize their lessons in ways that traditional classroom teaching often can't. In the subject or test prep area that is needed, a tutor works individually with each student, creating an environment to improve a student's performance. Tutors instill confidence in the students they teach, which allows them to be comfortable asking questions and investigating topics that they may be struggling with. Instructors can reinforce content from the previous academic year, as well as preview the academic work ahead.
Students can often struggle at the beginning of a school year when being introduced to brand new material following months spent outside of an academic environment. Private tutors can not only rebuild the skills learned over the course of the previous year but also help students get a head start on the subjects they will be seeing when summer comes to an end. Building a strong foundation within a student can inspire them to move forward with confidence once the new school years begins, and advance through new subjects, even the more complicated material, at an increased rate compared to students who are starting from scratch. The first step to getting ahead is not falling behind.
Need help with summer reading assignments? Are you still unsure about your geometry skills? Could you benefit from some expert help in biology outside of the classroom? Qualified tutors can design one-on-one lessons that are both fun and productive. With personalized sessions, students can make greater strides with less frustration. Going out of town for a month or two? No problem! With online summer tutoring options, your tutor can continue to work with you even when you aren't in your home city. This unique tutoring approach means that summertime instruction doesn't have to interfere with pool time. Working with a talented instructor over the summer can help turn three months of no school into an educational advantage. Enthusiastic tutors can meet in person at a location of your choosing or help you through face-to-face online tutoring. They work with your schedule to cover as much as you need, while working at your pace to fill in any gaps in knowledge you might have regarding the material you're expected to know. Keep ahead of the curve by calling Varsity Tutors today and get connected with a private tutor for the summer.

Recent Winnipeg Summer Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I met up for his digital hardware design lab. There we presented some of his prior work to the teacher. Afterward we worked on Verilog modules for a 4-bit flip flop, and a 1-bit 4-cycle shift register, talking somewhat about clock edges, the "always" keyword, flip flop types, and the concept of wires as variables. We demonstrated the modules for the instructor and then chatted about requirements for the final project, specifically the concept of left- and right-shift operators.
The student and I spent the first half of our session focusing on reviewing for her math assessment. We then did a variety of writing exercises, including how to use descriptive words, using exact verbs, etc. Good session!
The student and I worked mostly on Algebra for his quiz that he had the next day. After working for about an hour in that subject area, we bounced to a vocabulary test that was a take home. He should have a hundred on that test! We talked about what he had going on for the two days left this week and next Monday. He seems to be making progress in organization and his understanding of Algebra.
We worked on line memorization and character development for the play she is doing in her drama class. We also created an outline of goals she is working to achieve by the end of the semester, and we brainstormed ideas for how she could reach them.
Today was my first meeting with the student. We covered a large portion of Utilitarianism, as well as some general guidelines for approaching philosophy and the reading of philosophical works. I covered the importance of working through the complex material slowly and with purpose--analysis of arguments and a comprehension of the main conclusions that the author draws. We covered a significant number of the concepts covered by the student in his essay, primarily focusing on the strange relationship between virtue and happiness that he attempts to demonstrate, as well as his responses to a number of objections to his position.
The student and I studied for an upcoming test today. We started by going over the notes her professor had sent her from the last assignment. I then taught her every concept from chapters 1-5, focusing on the interpretation and meaning of various statistical measures and tests. We also learned how to perform all these statistics in the software. The student is making good progress in learning the material.
