10 Reasons Kids Need Summer Tutors-Reason #10

Hi, everyone. It's Charlie here, with reason #10 that a student may need some summer tutoring.

Reason #10: A student (or the parent(s) of the student) wants to get a jumpstart on the upcoming  semester's subject matter.

As the fall semester approaches, a lot of students (and their parents) start thinking about getting a head start on the upcoming classes. 


You might be working with a tutee who will be starting pre-algebra, or a student who is excited about taking her first Russian language class.  No matter what the upcoming course may be, a tutor can help give the tutee a helpful jumpstart for the upcoming course. 


A jumpstart is really beneficial, because it gets the tutee excited about the class, and that excitement can translate into long term success.  It also lays an educational foundation that will get your tutee a few steps ahead before the class even starts.


Getting a head start on coursework, even just by looking over an introduction to the coursework, can give your tutee a lot of confidence, too.  Imagine going into a new class, and already knowing the basic principles - now that's a recipe for confidence!
