Prevent the Summer Slide by Maintaining and Accelerating Skills
Does your child breeze through the school year, but struggle a bit to maintain those skills over the long summer break? You're not alone! Many students experience "summer slide," a loss of learning that can impact their progress in the fall.
But it doesn't have to be this way!
Time Off Can Hurt
We believe that practice makes perfect. Research shows that students who sit idly by for the entire summer won't be able to practice and retain the skills they have already learned. We see degradation of skills in an alarmingly large number of students who do not participate in any form of summertime learning.
To avoid that summer slide or to catch up on skills, Jamie The Tutor offers two Summer Reading Programs, the Summer Maintenance Program, and the Summer Intensive Program. Summer Maintenance is designed specifically to prevent the summer slide and ensure students head back to school in the Fall sharp and ready to learn! Summer Intensive Program is designed for students who have large gaps and require intensive services over the summer to play catch up.
Two Options for Families: Summer Maintenance & Summer Intensive Program
The Jamie The Tutor Summer Maintenance is primarily intended for students at or near grade level with only minor gaps in skills. We also believe that students who have small gaps or who are close to grade level benefit most from a relatively low-intensity program and that is why we offer our Summer Maintenance program.
The Summer Intensive Program is geared towards students who are significantly below grade level and may have large gaps and require extra tutoring time to catch up at an accelerated pace over the summer. This program provides the same customized instruction as our traditional tutoring but at a more intensive speed.

Initial Assessments - Tools that Help
We offer specialized assessments, backed by educators around the world, that allow us to pinpoint gaps in skills for students of all ages. We reliably track skills development for math, reading, writing and other skills by grade level and precisely determine what areas are lacking and what areas have been mastered.
We use these assessments to sculpt a personalized game-plan to correct any deficiencies and prepare your child for the next grade, regardless of where they left off this year.
Our assessments can be done remotely, one-on-one in the safety and comfort of your home where your child feels most at ease. Know exactly what skills are missing from your child's toolbox. Know exactly what needs to be mastered to stay on track for grade level competency. Don't let next year be harder than it needs to be, Jamie The Tutor can help.
For students with known difficulties in specific subjects we offer focused subject-specific assessments. Our assessments can pinpoint specific skills that are lacking. For average students, we have broader assessments that cover the core concepts from various subjects and can identify any alarming gaps in knowledge.
These assessments provide information on skills, provide standardized, comparable scores, and give insight into how your child compares to other students in their grade level. Skills assessments show both deficiencies in specific areas as well as areas where a student excels and allow us to fine tune our approach on a case by case basis to maximize results for each student.
Our assessments are recognized across the education industry and are trusted by schools, educators, parents, psychologists, and other professionals as precise, predictive and reproducible. Deficiencies can be narrowed down to individual skills.
For example a student may be able to identify certain letters but be unable to write them. Some students may know multiplication principles but resort to repeated addition when asked to complete problems. Some students might have excellent reading skills but struggle to apply knowledge from read materials.
Our assessments rate skill levels of all the nuanced components to provide a comprehensive understanding of the grade level competency of each student, allowing us to know exactly how to best cater our tactics to your child's specific educational needs.
