Summer Tutoring Sample Curriculum

While our tutoring is tailored to each student’s assessed level of proficiency and respective goals, below is a sample of a “typical” summer tutoring pacing schedule. Without the busyness of the school year, and limited extracurricular activities, summer provides an excellent opportunity to close any proficiency gaps and proactively plan for a great start in the fall semester. Our summer programs are designed to prepare students for success in the fall through a very manageable and realistic tutoring and study schedule.

In addition to subject tutoring, each student will be introduced to proven study skills strategies – memorization techniques, improved note taking methods, and time/organizational skills coaching. All tutoring and study/practice time will be aligned with our PrepLogX study prep methodology.

Sample 7-week tutoring schedule.

This represents a student moving from 7th to 8th grade, preparing the student for a successful start to the fall semester. Note that if a student’s assessment reveals any learning gaps, these gaps will be addressed prior to progressing to the preparation sessions for the upcoming grade-level.
