GlobalScholar Introducing Summer Tutoring Program

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 16, 2008 – When summer rolls around, most children get out of school running and don’t look back. They look forward to the lazy months ahead spending time at the beach, at camp or with friends and don’t dare to engage in anything academic.

But when summer finally ends and the new school year begins, many of them struggle to remember what they had learned the previous year and often times fall behind in their studies. This is especially the case when a child transitions from one school to another, such as the transition from middle school to high school.

The skills and knowledge a child gains throughout the school year don’t have to fade away during the summer. The easiest way to keep your child sharp, or get them caught up, is to engage them in a couple hours of tutoring each week. Ideally, it is best for them to exercise their minds daily, but striving for two to three days a week is a good start.

The easiest solution to achieving this tutoring goal is to utilize online tutoring. GlobalScholar is currently offering a summer tutoring program to help students struggling with Math and Science or who want to get a head start for next year. The program includes one-on-one tutoring, personalized assessments and a customized curriculum.

GlobalScholar's Summer Tutoring Program

The Skill Builder course provides unlimited tutoring for 45 days and is available for students K-12. The Stride Ahead course provides 20 hours of tutoring that can be used at any time and is available for students K-12. Both summer programs are taught by highly qualified tutors and are now open for registration

Still not convinced that your child may need summer tutoring? Check out these stats:

     - Loss of content retention in children begins within 24 to 48 hours of learning, unless the new information is reinforced or applied immediately

     - After a month without reinforcement, approximately 80% of what a child has recently learned can be lost

To get started, simply go to the Summer Tutoring Program page, select the Skill Builder or Stride Ahead option and connect with a tutor!
