Summer is a great time for students to work on study skills, get caught up on subject material, and study for standardized tests. Some students enroll in summer school classes and have ongoing homework assignments while others have spoken with their teachers at the end of the previous semester to get recommendations on what they can work on over the summer.
We have a lot of parents that contact us over the summer that want to work on specific skills like math or writing and we do our best to connect them with a tutor that can help them in their home. Depending on when a customer contacts us, we can talk to the students’ teacher(s) and get recommendations on additional assignments and activities they can work on over the summer. If we are not able to reach the students’ teacher, then our tutors can usually come up with other materials to use.
Aside from improving on subject material from the previous school year, a lot of parents want to keep their child’s brains from turning to mush over the summer. Signing up for a class or contacting a tutoring service can be a good way to keep things fresh so that they come better prepared for the upcoming school year. It also helps to build a relationship with a tutor early on so that the tutor can catch problems early once the school year starts again.
