This summer is a great time to get a head start on the upcoming school year! Students have ample amount of time on their hands and as a result they are relaxed and (for the most part) undistracted. In fact, because the stresses of regular school course work and additional extracurricular activities are not present during the summer, it is the perfect time to start tutoring. Tutoring during the summer will help to ensure that everything goes smoothly once the school year begins and can help to keep the mind sharp during the break. Here are some examples of how summertime tutoring can boost students to new levels of success!
Test prep
Students who are entering 3rd grade will have to take the IREAD test at the end of the year. If they do not pass the test they cannot move on to fourth grade. By signing up for summer tutoring, I can help your child prepare for the IREAD test, as well as the ISTEP test (for other grade levels).
Remedy past problems for the upcoming year
Learning from past mistakes is perhaps the best way to improve one’s self. This is a life lesson as well as one that can be applied to improving a student’s academics during the summer. During the summer students can reflect on the habits and performance that shaped their previous school year. If a student didn't do well in a particular area, a tutor can help catch them up to make sure they have the tools and knowledge to progress and succeed when taking on a tougher coursework the following school year. Tutors can also help implement better time management and work skills that will help a student thrive.
Combat summer learning loss
The basis of summer learning loss is that a student will score better on a standardized test at the beginning of the summer than he/she will on the same test at the end of the summer. Indeed, a three-month break from school is not ideal when one considers the vast amount of knowledge that the mind loses while on academic hiatus. Summer tutoring keeps a student’s brain active and helps them retain the knowledge that they gained in the previous school year while preparing them for what lies ahead. The active mind is a healthy mind and this is true for students regardless of the time of year. The problem is that during the summer students have a tendency to relax a bit too much which can prove detrimental to the start of their school year.

”Build confidence
Perhaps the greatest benefit to summer tutoring is that it builds confidence in students and gives them a fantastic foundation to build on for the upcoming school year. After the summer if complete, my students enter their new grade level with a smile and the confidence they need to succeed.
In short, summer tutoring is the first step towards a successful and memorable school year. Please contact me today at 317-200-2653 to learn more about how you can enroll your child in summer tutoring! Hurry, as space is limited!
