When both parties are willing to put in effort, it’s hard to fail.

How can a tutor help you with summer tutoring?
The summer is a time for playing, sleeping in, and hanging with friends for most students. The last thing on your child's mind is school and learning. As a parent, you have probably wondered if your child loses vital information over the summer. You would be correct in assuming they do. Studies have shown that students lose essential academic skills during the summer break. Private summer tutors in Chicago, Illinois, can help your child retain the knowledge from the previous year in preparation for the upcoming school year. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with these tutors.
Students can lose up to two months of essential skills during the summer months. This loss of information can lead to a two- or three-year learning deficit over time. Typically, a whopping six weeks of the fall are spent relearning material each new school year. To keep your student current and help them to be ready for the upcoming school year, they need two to three hours per week of study time to prevent any learning loss. A skilled summer tutor can help your child avoid losing vital information. To help your child stay on top of their studies, contact Varsity Tutors to help connect you with Chicago summer tutors.
