Bridgeport Summer Tutoring FAQ
Summer is an idyllic time in almost every young student's life, and it is a much-needed time of relaxation and fun after a long school year. Unfortunately, for all of its good, long summers are also detrimental to education. Studies show that most kids lose around two months of math skills over the summer, and this can add up to a two to three year learning deficit in the course of a child's academic career. About six weeks of every new school year are spent just relearning material from last year. It takes about two to three hours of studying a week to prevent learning loss during summer, but finding this motivation can be difficult for many students. Having a personal tutor might not only help kids stay on top of their learning over the summer, but it can also help them develop useful studying habits and practices that they can implement in the new school year. Our experienced educational directors at Varsity Tutors are happy to help students and parents in Bridgeport find a summer tutor who could help them pursue their academic goals.
You might be surprised at just how much your child's learning habits and eagerness to study might improve while working with their own tutor, even over the summer. A tutor we can find you in Bridgeport, CT, could help your child improve their study skills, attain better self-confidence, and exceed their goals over the summer. Your child's tutor will create custom study plans that incorporate your child's interests and hobbies, making learning sessions much more interesting and engaging. On top of this, lessons will also focus on the areas that your child may need to learn most, making them much more efficient and effective than a traditional classroom.
Our experienced educational directors will assist you and your child in connecting with a professional tutor in Bridgeport who could help your child prep over the summer, and who can work with you almost whenever and wherever you'd like. You can arrange for you child to meet with their tutor at a place that you already visit every day, which could be your office, a local library, or even your home. You can also have your child meet with their tutor over the Internet through Varsity Tutors' live face-to-face online learning platform.
Make the effort to see that your child makes the most of their summer! To connect with summer tutors in Bridgeport, CT, call the educational directors at Varsity Tutors today.
