Summer Tutoring
How real is the Summer Slide? Studies have shown that students lose up to two months of content knowledge over the summer without academic support. That is equivalent to 30% of what they learned during the school year.. For many students, the Summer Learning Slide increases each summer and can ultimately negatively impact student success in middle school, high school and college.
Fortunately, summer tutoring can prevent much of this loss, as well as, boost students? performance, self- esteem, study skills and content knowledge.
Reduce the Gaps
If your child struggled with subject material throughout the year or had trouble understanding certain concepts, then it is very likely they will lose 3 months of progress without support. Studies have shown that this gap widens each summer. This can be mitigated by hiring a tutor, who can target student weaknesses and build strong foundations in reading, writing and math. Tutors can review past material with your child, engage the student based on their specific learning style, and develop a plan that will target your child’s weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Improved confidence and motivation will help students have a strong start to the school year. For students who are more shy, summer tutoring allows the student a chance to ask questions without fear of embarrassment and students can learn comfortably at their own pace.
Get Ahead
Want your student to get positive head start for the new school year? Students may be enrolled in new classes in the upcoming school year that include detailed and difficult content. Tutors can help preview vocabulary, teach new concepts, provide scaffolded notes and study tips to reduce stress and make students feel well prepared for difficult, new content, including AP classes. Building confidence can improve student focus and attitude.
Prepare for the ACT, SAT, and ISEE
During the school year, students schedules are packed with activities. It is difficult to focus on test prep but test prep can make the difference of whether your child gets into his first or second choice university. The summer is a great time to study for the SAT, ACT, and ISEE. We will recommend a specific prep book and have your child take one diagnostic test before meeting the tutor. Then, the tutor will target areas of weaknesses but also address general test taking tips. Since students can take these tests multiple times, it is not too late to improve even if your child has taken the test once. Higher SAT scores can also help your child qualify for certain scholarships.
Learn Test Taking Strategies and Stress Management
Many students understand the class content but become nervous when it comes to tests. Test taking anxiety can result in poor self esteem, learned helplessness, giving up, and poor grades. Our tutors can teach your child techniques to deal with stress, manage their time, and focus during an exam.
Enrich and Spark a New Interest
If your student worked with a tutor during the school year, keeping the routine is important. This will provide a sense of continuity for your student, and help them maintain the newly-learned skills they have acquired over the school year. Tutors can tie student’s passions to new lessons that might involve writing, coding, summer reading, learning a foreign language, or exploring science. Summer is a great opportunity for your student to explore these passions that they may not have had time for during the school year. We have a wide variety of tutors on our staff with many different talents and interests.
Study Skills
If your child struggles with time management and organization, summer tutoring could help create a consistent timeline and structure for studying. Regular sessions will add additional structure and accountability during the summer months. This will help your student avoid procrastinating and become more accustomed to studying regularly. A tutor can also help your student organize their notebooks, make better use of their agendas to keep track of assignments, and provide other tips to ensure good study habits.
Although rest and relaxation is needed during the summer, a couple of hours a week of academic stimulation will help your child excel and ensure a smoother school year! In addition, our tutors make the lessons fun so the time flies by and is enjoyable for students as well.

Individual Approach to All
All students can learn, but learn in different ways and at different rates! It is essential to determine the student?s learning type, style, and pace. Having a strong background in Special Education, we know that some students are visual, auditory, kinesthetic learners or a combination of these types. Some students need more review and practice while others catch on quickly. Private tutoring allows the tutor to assess the student’s learning style and needs and create a program that matches those needs. Our tutors may use tools such as games, flashcards, drill type worksheets, creative projects, and/or technology related projects. In addition, looking at the individual means assessing the whole child including their personality, interests, attention span, motivation, need for breaks and stress release, as well as organization skills. Beach Cities Tutoring does not have a standard program to address every student. Each student receives an appropriate program to match their needs and learning style so that they will succeed in various environments.
