Cambridge Summer Tutoring FAQ
School may be out for the summer, but did you know that your child can lose important academic skills during this time? Summer learning loss widens the achievement gap, making it harder to catch up and strengthen skills in reading, writing, and math. When left unremedied, continued learning loss can set children back three years in their academic development. Learning shortfalls can start as early as first grade, so it's important to get the ball rolling on summer tutoring to keep those academic skills in tact. To get started on your child's summer learning regiment, Varsity Tutors' experienced educational directors are happy to help parents in Cambridge find the right summer tutor for their child.
Tutors have a lot to contend with to keep students' attention over summer. Beach parties, family vacations, and hot weather are all legitimate distractions to summer tutoring, so how do experienced tutors get over this hurdle? Using a clever combination of learning games and your child's own personal interests, today's private tutors are able to provide a truly rewarding educational experience over summer. For example, if your child loves the beach, your private summer tutor may create sandcastle exercises to teach basic measurements or use a sand funnel to explain what a liter is. Our educational directors will be happy to match you with a summer tutor in Cambridge, MA, who is knowledgeable in a host of alternative teaching methods to hone in on the right learning plan for your child.
Another big contributor to summer learning loss is going on vacation, but this doesn't mean you have to choose between tutoring and your annual family trip. Fortunately, today's professional tutors can meet with your child online for live interactive tutoring sessions. Furthermore, you and your tutor can work together to create a flexible schedule that accommodates your family's pool time, sightseeing, or other activities. If you're staying put for the summer, your private tutor can also meet up at the beach, your favorite smoothie spot, or any convenient location of your choice. At Varsity Tutors, we can connect you with the perfect summer tutor in Cambridge who can accommodate your vacation needs so your child doesn't skip a beat.
Don't let your child's hard-earned academic skills slip away during the summer. Make sure they're ready and confident for the new school year! Contact our committed educational directors to find a professional summer tutor in Cambridge, MA, who can work with your child today.
