Alexandria Summer Tutoring FAQ
Every child loves summer. It's a time to skip out on the daily routines of school and to while away the days playing and having fun. As a parent, however, you can start to worry that your child is losing ground on all of the educational gains made during the school year. And research has shown that this is an issue. Children do experience a nearly two-month loss of academic skills over the course of the summer and this could lead to achievement gaps as the summers stack up.
Fortunately, Varsity Tutors can help make summers more productive by finding your child a tutor in Alexandria. With just three hours of study a week, your child can stem the learning loss and stay current with grade-level expectations. It's the fun of summer, but without the guilt that comes with watching your child lose ground. The right tutor will even make your student's study sessions enjoyable, using teaching methodologies that focus on math play, challenging books, and unstructured learning activities.
Should you already have something in mind for your child's study sessions, though, you'll be able to use your input to drive the learning process. In fact, our educational directors will connect you with a summer tutor in Alexandria only after considering all of your specific goals and needs. That means your daughter or son could get the pacing and content that you feel is important. In combining your input with diagnostic assessment procedures, private summer tutoring in Alexandria, VA, will encourage your child to work smarter and achieve set goals in a shorter period of time.
Most strikingly, this can all be done with zero inconvenience to you and your student. The flexible scheduling of one-to-one tutoring allows you to arrange study sessions around your existing routines. If you find afternoons at the public library to be convenient, a tutor could meet you and your son or daughter there to go over mathematical topics like word problems and division. Should you want meetings to be in your home during the morning, that can be managed as well. Varsity Tutors' online live learning platform will even allow your child to have face-to-face tutoring sessions over the Internet via a computer or tablet.
Summer doesn't have to lead to gaps in achievement. An expert summer tutor that we connect you with in Alexandria, VA, can prevent your student from losing ground and can even help him or her to make gains. Try it today!
