Berkeley Summer Tutoring FAQ

The truth is well understood that this sense of freedom usually lasts for about a month, before boredom and idleness take over. What's worse is that this is the time when students begin to lose the information they learned over the course of the school year, and about six weeks of every new school year is spent relearning old material. Studies show that about two to three hours of weekly study is what it takes to prevent any summer learning loss.
