OUR SUMMER BREAK PROGRAMS

​

During the school summer break, Twight's One-on-One Tutoring offers a daytime schedule for you to take advantage of. You can book prescheduled time slots for one, two, or three times per week. Alternatively, you can schedule sessions for just a few times during the summer to best fit in with your child's vacations or other summer activities.

Here are some good reasons to book summer tutoring:  

• Beat the summer brain drain. Research shows that students lose valuable knowledge over the summer months, and continuing to learn over the summer helps eliminate that loss of information and skills.*

​

• Build confidence. Students who struggle with subjects or concepts during the school year often feel defeated. Having success in summer tutoring helps boost confidence for the following year.

​

• Grow knowledge. Summer is the ideal time to identify and focus our attention on areas for growth, particularly because students aren’t overwhelmed with the demands of other classes.

 

• Catch up and keep up. Many students fall behind in a subject and have a difficult time catching up during the school year. Dedicated time in the summer helps them get caught back up with their classmates. 

​

• Prevent summer doldrums. After the first week or so of summer boredom starts to creep in Having an educational project will help keep students interested and engaged!
