Imagine training an athlete for nine months, getting them to the perfect level of conditioning… then telling them to take three months off and do nothing! Now, imagine getting them back on the field of competition at the end of those three months and expecting them to perform at their training peak. While every good coach will build varying levels of intensity into their training programs, none would ever recommend extended periods in which not even minimal skills are practiced.
Ironically, however, this is the very thing that parents and schools routinely do over summer vacation. This can have profound consequences on the ability of children to remain at or above grade level in critical academic areas. Studies have shown that, on average, students lose nearly 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months: nearly one third of a school year! The same thing can happen with reading and writing skills. Parents can do a lot for their children during the summer to keep their interest in learning alive. It is easy to underestimate the academic progress that can be made with even a few hours of tutoring each week during these months.
The Tutoring Club not only provides the setting and expertise to develop and retain reading, writing, and math skills over the summer months, it also makes an unprecedented guarantee in the process: students will improve one grade level within 32 hours, or we will continue to tutor them at no additional cost until that goal has been reached.
Summer tutoring sessions can help a child return to school in the fall with increased confidence, and a greater likelihood of quickly picking up and even moving past the academic level they were at when summer began.
