What are benefits of summer tutoring?
As a parent, you want to give your child every opportunity to thrive, especially when it comes to their education. But national testing data from 2024 reveals a concerning truth: math and reading levels among students have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. In fact, many students in grades 3–9 are still struggling with foundational skills, widening the academic gap and impacting their confidence and long-term success.
This summer, you have a chance to change that trajectory.
Why Do Parents Choose Summer Tutoring?
Most parents enroll their children in summer tutoring for a few key reasons:
- Skill Gaps That Don’t Go Away on Their Own
During the school year, teachers are pressed for time. They move quickly through the curriculum, and students who fall behind often don’t get the individualized support they need. Summer tutoring is a powerful way to address those persistent skill gaps—especially in math and reading—before they become even harder to close. - Preventing the “Summer Slide”
Without consistent academic practice, students can lose up to two months of progress over the summer. This slide is even more severe for students already struggling. Tutoring during the summer months helps students retain what they’ve learned—and even gain ground. - Building Confidence and Motivation
Many students avoid reading or math simply because it feels frustrating. With targeted support and positive reinforcement, they can experience success again, boosting their motivation and sense of control over learning. - Preparation for the Next School Year
Parents want their children to start the fall ready—not overwhelmed. Summer tutoring allows students to revisit previous content and preview what’s ahead, easing the transition and giving them a clear advantage when school resumes.
Our Summer Tutoring Courses: A Targeted, Effective Solution
Our tutoring sessions at Tailor Joy are designed with all of these concerns in mind and taught by certified teacher, Jennifer Donaldson. Each course provides six online sessions of focused, individualized instruction that meets students where they are—and helps them grow.
Here’s how our summer offerings address the most common needs:
- Reading Foundations (Grades 3–6)
Students work on decoding, phonics, spelling, and basic comprehension—essential skills for reading fluently and understanding texts. This course is perfect for students who need to build or reinforce foundational reading skills. - Reading Intervention (Grades 6–College)
For older students who read but don’t always understand or retain information, this course targets comprehension, fluency, and note-taking strategies. It’s a great fit for middle and high schoolers preparing for more advanced coursework. - Executive Function Skills (Grades 6–College)
Time management, organization, planning, and flexible thinking are key for school success—especially as assignments get more complex. This course gives students tools to manage their workload and build independent learning habits. - Math Foundations (Grades 3–6)
Many students fall behind in math because they lack fluency with basic facts and strategies. This course builds confidence through consistent practice with problem-solving and real-world math skills.
Flexible Scheduling, Big Results
