No, I'm not kidding!
Hi all, Charlie here with 10 reasons that summer tutoring is a great idea. "Why am I tackling this in August?" you may ask - a few reasons:
* It can be a great to let kids have a little bit of a breather in between the school year and summer classwork/tutoring.
* You may be able to get a child excited about the upcoming school year with some fun, summer tutoring.
* It is still early enough that kids remember what they learned during the last school year, and this will be a great way of giving them a jumpstart for the fall.
* Some children have year round school - summer is just another season of learning for these youngsters.
* You can improve confidence, self-esteem, and knowledge by tutoring a kid during the summer.
Now, without further ado, here is the first reason kids may benefit from summer tutoring.
Reason #1: Sometimes Kids Need Motivation Boosters!
Maybe you know a child who is notorious for making up excuses for why things can't be done - excuses for everything from not completing projects, to unfinished homework, to not studying for upcoming tests.
Maybe, as a parent, you have tried everything under the sun to get him or her to focus on finishing tasks, improve study habits, and tackle school projects. Now that you've tried begging, pleading, nagging, and bribery (kidding! Well...kind of kidding...), try tutoring.
Tutoring will help a child get excited about learning and achieving as he or she sees positive progress, and gets feedback from his or her tutor. Tutoring also makes kids more accountable for the work that they bring home, and they will be much more likely to complete academic tasks if they own the work and know that the tutor will be asking about progress.
Stay tuned for summer tutoring reason #2!
