Tutor Doctor of North Jersey is Devoted to Helping Teens Maintain their Academic Edge in School
Los Angeles, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2015 / The founders of Tutor Doctor of North Jersey are pleased to announce that they are offering summer programs and lessons for teens who want to stay ahead of their academic game. The tutoring experts who work at Tutor Doctor specialize in preparing teens for the next school year by introducing them to the upcoming year’s curriculum.
As a company spokesperson for Tutor Doctor noted, when the school year ends, many students are occupied during the long summer months with camps, swimming, rec programs and vacations to the shore, instead of reading and studying for the upcoming school year.
"What many parents don’t understand is that students experience a phenomenon called ‘summer learning loss.’ Essentially, they forget a lot of what they learned during the school year over the summer months," the company spokesperson said, adding that studies have shown that students lose an average of over two and a half months worth of math skills in the summer and an average of one month in other subjects.
"This is why teachers spend the first couple of months of the school year reviewing the previous year’s curriculum; students who were already laboring to keep up will start off the next school year are struggling even more."
"What happens is that as learning occurs, the synapses in the brain strengthen their connection in the areas of learning. When students stop exercising their brains, those synaptic connections start to loosen," the spokesperson for Tutor Doctor said.
“Think of athletes: if they stopped training for two to three months, they would experience a lag in performance upon return to their sport. The brain is no different; it needs to be exercised.”
If a student works on reading, language and/or math skills in quality summer school one-on-one private sessions like the ones offered at Tutor Doctor, he/she can continue to make progress so that when school starts in September, there will be a marked improvement and the student will begin classes ahead of the class.
To keep students learning over the summer, Tutor Doctor suggests having students spend about an hour a day reading through a workbook; these are available at most book stores, and geared toward different grades. Visiting a library and finding some books with topics that are interesting so that the student is engaged in reading is also important.Working on math topics learned that school year is also very important over the summer months – practicing math keeps those synapses open.
"Finally, enroll in summer tutoring for kids in NJ at a reputable place like Tutor Doctor," the spokesperson said.
For students who are struggling academically, summer can be the perfect time to create a customized tutoring program to help them catch up. The summer is a great time for all students to start on the classes they will have in September.
