The school year can be a stressful time for students and parents alike. Between homework assignments, tests, project deadlines, and extracurricular activities, there's hardly any time to breathe.
But as the school year comes to an end, it's essential to reflect on whether or not your child is growing academically.
So, if you're worried that your child might not be retaining information from the previous school year or performing well in their current classes, here are 6 benefits of enrolling your child in a summer tutoring program this year.
5 Benefits of Summer Tutoring For Children.
1. Catch up on subjects they are struggling with.
By the end of the school year, many students find they need extra help in certain areas, and summer gives them the opportunity to get this help. Summer tutoring is a great way to improve your child's grades, which can help put your child at an advantage when it comes time for college admissions and scholarships.
But before you hire a tutor, make sure they are experienced in teaching the subject that needs improvement. A good way to determine this is by finding a good tutoring company.
2. Get ahead in subjects they are studying next year.
Summer tutoring is a great way for kids to get ahead in the subjects they will be studying next year. For example, if your child is taking the SAT this year and the ACT next year, summer tutoring can help your child build up enough practice to do well on both tests and ensure they get high scores.
3. Improve their grades
If your child is struggling with a particular subject, or simply wants to master a subject more thoroughly, tutoring is an effective way to help them get ahead. A tutor can give your personalized lessons that target their specific needs and helps them understand difficult concepts in a way that increases retention.
4. Prepare for college admissions exams like AP tests and SAT subject tests
If your child is planning to apply to college, he or she may need to take one or more tests in order for their application to be accepted. Here's a summary of a few of the most well-known tests:
College Admissions Exams:
These are taken by students applying for admission into a college program. Common examples include the SAT Subject Tests and ACT (which also includes an optional writing section).
These tests help show colleges what subjects you have experience with, so they can place you in courses that match your interests and strengths. They also provide an opportunity to show off your knowledge of certain subjects (like math or science), which might impress admissions officers.
AP Tests and SAT subject tests:
These tests measure how well you understand specific topics in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, History/Social studies, and Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics (STEM).
They're usually given during high school as high school juniors or seniors prepare for college admission—but anyone who wants credit toward graduation can take them at any age after earning at least a C+ grade in each subject taught during junior high school years 1–8th grade.
Summer tutoring can help your child get ready for these important exams by providing extra practice time before the test date comes up—and this preparation will pay off when scores come back from these organizations!
5. Make new friends and have fun!
Having fun and making new friends is something everyone should do in their life, but the busy nature of school hours makes it difficult. Summer tutoring gives your child the opportunity to make new friends, learn something new or simply have fun!
