Summer takes almost three months of time dedicated to leisure and relaxation. However, for the less hedonistic, summer presents an opportunity to earn extra cash. Students can work in summer jobs bussing tables, manning cashiers or watching over people at the beach.A good way to earn money as well as prevent summer learning loss is to work as a peer tutor.
Peer tutors are not professional educators. They are usually college students or senior high school students who have been performing well in school. Parents can find peer tutors for their school-age children through summer tutoring programs offered by the schools and some non-government agencies. They also have the option of hiring a private tutor for in-house tutoring.
Summer tutoring allows for flexibility in schedule; the child can still enjoy short summer vacations and camps. The tutoring can be done in-house (face-to-face) or online through the Internet, depending on the needs of the student being tutored. The student learns at his or her own pace with materials that are interesting and motivational to the child. Parents also have the opportunity to get involved in their child’s summer learning. By the time the new school year comes, students would have mastered a skill from the previous year, or had a nice head start.
