Shawnee Mission Summer Tutoring FAQ
Summer break is a time of year all kids look forward to. Unfortunately, without mental stimulation from academic activities, students experience a loss of reading, math, and other skills. Experts sometimes refer to this as the "summer slide." According to the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, some children may lose up to two months of progress in reading skills alone over summer. By fifth grade, this can add up to the equivalent of three grade levels' difference.
How can you help your child beat the summer slide? For younger children, make a summer reading list, get them interested in a hobby, and make sure they're getting proper nutrition. High school students can be encouraged to find part-time jobs and volunteer opportunities. But the best thing parents can do for their children is to have them work with a personal tutor. Summer tutoring can save kids from having to review last year's material to get back up to speed when school resumes. Let Varsity Tutors help. We'll find your child a skilled summer tutor in Shawnee Mission, KS, who will work to give the knowledge they need to tackle new lessons once school is back in session.
Between vacations, parties, and day trips, families do a lot in summer. Tutors understand this, and they'll work around your schedule to find the most convenient time. Location is also not a problem. Would you prefer for a tutor to meet your child at home? Maybe instead your child would like to sit under an oak tree in Shawnee Mission Park. No matter where you choose to meet, a tutor will ensure a distraction-free experience so your child can ask questions and work at their own pace. Our educational directors enjoy helping students in Shawnee Mission find independent summer tutors. Let them find one for your child.
Young people are enthusiastic adopters of all sorts of technology. That's why we offer the option for your child to interact with their tutor through our face-to-face online learning platform. Contact Varsity Tutors to get connected with summer tutors in Shawnee Mission.
