Tutors Make a Profound Difference in Student’s Lives



A Johns Hopkins study of Baltimore Public Schools found that students who don’t read over the summer “lose more than two months in reading achievement”. Most students lose “two months of grade-level equivalency” in math skills every summer. That’s about 30% of the progress they made over the previous the year.
A 1996 analysis of 39 studies on summer learning loss found that all students scored lower on standardized tests at the end of summer when compared to their performance on the same test at the beginning of the summer.
These studies also showed that summer learning loss is accumulative which means that students who didn’t participate in educational activities over their vacation got further and further behind each year.

Summer Learning … Comfortably!

Over their long vacation, most students experience a phenomenon known as the summer slide where they lose much of the academic gains they made over the last semester. Summer academic losses are also cumulative so students who experience the summer slide will drop further behind every year.
The problem
According to the authors of a report from the National Summer Learning Association: "A conservative estimate of lost instructional time is approximately two months or roughly 22 percent of the school year." While academic losses happen across the board, most of the studies which focus on the summer slide deal with reading and math abilities which are so important for today’s students who want to compete in an increasingly tough job market.
Better learning means a better life
The antidote to the summer slide is to take just a couple of sessions every week for in-home tutoring. Here your kids get personalized education that suits their personalities, abilities and learning style. Watch their confidence grow as they not only avoid the summer slide but fill in the gaps in their learning, and acquire the study skills they need to succeed in the new year.
