San Rafael Summer Tutoring FAQ
The summer season can be an exciting time for any student. After working hard during the school year, it can be nice to receive a much deserved break. However, the summer season can be a pitfall in the academic careers of many students who can forget much of what they have learned during the year. Learning loss during the summer season has shown to increase a student's likelihood of not graduating high school. The summer season can set a child's education back by many months, with students on average losing two months worth of math knowledge over the summer. Over the course of a child's entire academic career, this can mean a loss of two to three years of knowledge during the accumulated summer months. And what's worse is that in order to combat this loss in knowledge, schools must spend their first months of each grade reviewing what they were taught during the previous year. So, if your child is like the majority of students attending a school with a traditional academic calendar, then make sure that they have the tools available to retain information over the summer months. If summer is coming up for your child, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist in finding them an experienced tutor in San Rafael.
We can find your child a talented summer tutor in San Rafael, CA, who can work with students at all proficiency levels. Their tutor will be able to work with your child one-on-one in an environment that has been completely removed of distractions. And your child could have an advantage over some of their peers who may be taking traditional summer school programs. This is because in a traditional classroom, one teacher must meet the needs of many students, often at the expense of individual learning time. An experienced summer tutor in San Rafael can focus only on those issues that your child is struggling with to make their study sessions as efficient as possible and meet their individual needs.
Your child's tutor will also be able to work around both your and your child's schedule, which is another advantage over traditional summer school, which is scheduled for specific times. This means that your family will still be able to go on that long planned summer vacation, yet still get the attention they need to avoid learning loss. And your child's tutor will be able to meet either in person or online. So, no matter where you and your family are, your child could be able to fit in a tutoring session.
Don't hesitate to make the call, and get your child the tutor they need to help them this summer. A summer tutor can be an investment that pays off for your child's entire academic career. Let Varsity Tutors find your young student an expert summer tutor in San Rafael, CA, to help them develop an individualized study plan and strive to ensure they are adequately prepared for the coming school year.
