Summer should be fun—but it doesn’t have to mean a total break from learning. In fact, studies show that students can lose up to two months of academic progress over the summer if their skills go unused. At Learning Matters, we believe summer is the perfect time to catch up, stay sharp, or get ahead—without sacrificing sunshine and downtime.
“Summer is a chance to grow without the pressure of grades or testing.” ― Danielle Costa, Founder of Learning Matters
Whether your child struggled this past year or is preparing for a big academic transition, summer tutoring offers a powerful opportunity. Without the demands of regular school schedules, students are often more relaxed, open to new routines, and able to focus in a more personalized setting. Just a few sessions a week can make a noticeable difference—and prevent the dreaded “summer slide.”
Our summer programs at Learning Matters are designed to be flexible, engaging, and targeted. From reading fluency and math mastery to writing, speech, and executive function coaching, we tailor every session to your child’s unique goals. And because we offer remote learning, your child can stay on track from anywhere—home, vacation, or the car ride in between.
Let this summer be more than a break. Make it a season of growth, confidence, and momentum that carries into the fall and beyond.
What Is the “Summer Slide” and Why Does It Matter?
The “summer slide” refers to the loss of academic skills during long school breaks. It’s most commonly seen in reading and math—but it can affect all areas of learning. Students who don’t stay mentally active over the summer often need weeks of review in the fall just to catch back up. By keeping brains engaged with just a little structure, students can avoid regression—and even start the school year ahead of the curve.
How Learning Can Be Fun, Flexible, and Effective
Summer learning doesn’t have to look like school. At Learning Matters, we build tutoring plans around your family’s schedule and your child’s interests. Sessions are interactive, hands-on, and progress-focused—helping students stay engaged while gaining key skills. Whether it’s through remote learning kits, reading challenges, or personalized math games, we turn summer into a time your child can feel proud of. Because growth doesn’t stop in June—and neither should your child’s momentum.
