How can a tutor help you with summer tutoring?
While summer should be a time where your child gets a break from school, it is important that they still get in some study practice. It is common for young students to lose academic skills during the summer if they do not take time to review class material. This is especially true in reading and math. Most students who do not study over the summer lose around two months of math skills. When this occurs, it takes up to six weeks for them to re-learn the material once the school year starts. This means that students who do not study during the summer are at risk at falling way behind their classmates who do study. If you are concerned about your child falling behind in their classes, it might be a good decision to connect them with a private tutor. Varsity Tutors' experienced educational directors are happy to help students in Albany connect with a qualified summer tutor who might help them pursue their goals.
One of the great ways to get your child to study during the summer is to make the subject material into a game. A skilled private tutor may make reading and math fun, which may help your child work to stay engaged. Their private tutor may also work with them on topics that they find interesting. This may make studying not seem like work, which may make it more likely that your child may study even though it is the summer. Studying during the summer may try to help your child is getting the most out of the skills they already have. To help your child realize their full potential, let us find your student a professional tutor in Albany, NY, today.
