Summer is the time for family vacations, camp adventures, leisurely afternoons at the pool and … well, tutoring. We know your child would rather be carefree this summer, but it’s crucial to reinforce what he or she has learned during the school year and prepare for next year. Here are 7 reasons to make time for summer learning:

- Helps prevent summer loss. All students experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in math skills during the summer months.
- Is a confidence building experience. If you’re child has struggled at all during the school year, the summer is the perfect time to focus on challenging areas. After a summer of tutoring, your child will head back to the classroom more competent and confident.
- Is a great time to master difficult concepts. As you know, material and concepts get repeated throughout your child’s education. If your child could use some extra help and reinforcement, take the time this summer to make sure that he or she has mastered necessary information.
- Can be used to preview next year’s material. Knowing that your child may be facing more challenging classes and subjects next year, get ahead by reviewing material now.
- Keeps students engaged in academic activities.To prevent learning loss over the summer and to continue with progress made during the school year, it’s a good idea to keep your child’s academics up over the summer. The routine will also make it easier to head back to school at summer’s end.
- Is a stress-free time of year. Since there’s more time and less pressure in the summer, it’s a good time to catch up or focus on skills. Your child may benefit from coming to tutoring late morning when he or she is fresh instead of in the evening after an already busy school day.
- Prepares for the SAT or ACT. With busy schedules during the school year, summer is the perfect time for your high school student to focus on SAT and ACT preparation. Individual tutoring can strengthen key areas for your student. (from A Step Ahead Academy Center)
