SUMMER   TUTORING

I highly recommend it for any student who was struggling at all during the school year to go at least twice weekly for almost the whole summer.  They need to remediate the skills they were having difficulty in and become a stronger student in the previous year's skills before entering the new grade level.  If your child's previous teacher had discussed possible retention then for your child's benefit I would have you provide them with three to four lessons a week and if they start to make faster improvement then possibly cutting back a lesson a week.  If your child had a decent school year and you just want to make sure that they don't have that summer lag and you are doing two months then once a week will be enough.  If a month you might want to make it twice a week.
