Avoid the Summer Slide: Why Summer Tutoring Matters

As the school year winds down, many families look forward to a slower pace, more time outdoors, and a much-needed break from packed schedules. But while summer is a time for rest and fun, it can also come with an academic setback known as the “summer slide.” This phenomenon refers to the learning loss students often experience during extended breaks from school—especially in reading and math.



What is the Summer Slide?


Research shows that students can lose up to two months of academic progress over the summer, with math skills being the most affected. For students with learning differences, IEPs, or those who already face academic challenges, this slide can make the next school year feel even more overwhelming.


The good news? Summer tutoring can prevent it.

Studying with precision: A student utilizes effective tutoring techniques, combining detailed handwritten notes, digital resources, and color-coded sticky notes to enhance learning.
