Long Beach Summer Tutoring FAQ
While most kids think the summer months are the time for anything but academics, research suggests that children as young as first grade lose some of their academic gains from the previous year over summer vacation. Thankfully, it only takes two or three hours per week to maintain and even build upon your child's academic knowledge during the summer. If sitting your child down for even a little bit of schooling over summer vacation strikes you as mission impossible, a private tutor in Long Beach can make the experience fun for your child. Varsity Tutors will locate a summer tutor in Long Beach, CA, who will use the most up-to-date resources to try to help your child excel academically over summer vacation.
We can match you with a summer tutor in Long Beach who will adapt their lessons to your child's individual needs. If your child had a hard time with math last year, math flashcards may not be a bad idea to help them improve over summer break. Educational video games can also be a helpful tool, as they provide an incentive to your child to focus on improving their math skills. Your child's tutor will also be able to try to help you incorporate math into their daily life, encouraging them to try to improve without their realizing that they are doing schoolwork.
If you are more concerned about reading, setting aside a little time each day for your child to read can work wonders. Your child's tutor may even provide a reading checklist, which may allow your child to feel a sense of accomplishment each time they can check off a box. A junior book club is also a great idea, as your child could associate it more with the friends they are hanging out with than school.
Your child's summer tutor will meet with him or her on your schedule, ensuring that you and your child do not miss out on any summer fun. If you have a week long camping trip planned in August, there don't have to be any sessions that week. You may also choose the location of every meet up, enabling your child to study at a park if you want them outside. Alternatively, our face-to-face online meeting platform allows children to study in the comfort of air conditioning in the home.
One-on-one tutoring in Long Beach, CA, can afford your child the ability to fine-tune their academic skills over summer vacation. A summer tutor can be a great way to give your child an academic edge!
