How can a tutor help you with summer tutoring?
Though school may be off for the summer, your child's success in school may be boosted through summer learning programs. In what is known as summer learning loss, students begin to lose their academic skills during the months in which they don't continue to learn. This might lead to a greater achievement gap, which is a leading contributor to high school dropout rates. During the summer, your child should be encouraged to challenge themselves mentally with math and reading at least two to three hours per week to prevent learning loss. While it may be difficult to try to help your child has the opportunity to maintain their academic capabilities throughout the summer, you may receive help. Varsity Tutors may help you find independent summer tutors in San Francisco, California, for your child.
While children may celebrate the summer, the effects of summer learning loss have a majority of them losing two months of math skills. By graduation, this may equate to a two to three-year learning deficit. In addition, the problem may be witnessed in class, where students spend six weeks in the fall re-learning the material from the previous year. A personal summer tutor in San Francisco may help your child maintain their skills.
