Keep Your Child Ahead All Summer Long (and Save With an Exclusive Discount Code Inside!)

Summer is supposed to be a time to recharge, and it absolutely should be. But for many K–12 students, those ten weeks away from the classroom come with an invisible cost: learning regression, also known as the "summer slide." Research shows that 70–78% of elementary students lose ground in math over the summer, and 62–73% lose skills in reading, meaning the majority of students return to school in the fall knowing less than they did in the spring.

By the time school starts again in the fall, the average student loses up to two months of reading and math progress made during the previous school year. And those losses don't reset; students who experience the summer slide year after year are significantly more likely to fall further behind with each passing grade, making it harder to catch up as the academics get more demanding. For students who were already working hard to make progress, that can feel especially discouraging.

The good news? It doesn't have to happen. At My Tutoring Partners, we've spent over 25 years helping K–12 students stay on track, close learning gaps, and build the kind of confidence that carries them forward all year long, including summer. With the right support in place, your child can walk into the new school year feeling confident, prepared, and ahead of the curve instead of behind it.

What Is Learning Regression and Why Does It Happen?

Learning regression is the loss of academic skills and knowledge that occurs when students go an extended period without structured learning. It's not a reflection of intelligence or effort; it's simply what happens when skills aren't practiced.

Research from Johns Hopkins University found that students can lose two to three months of learning over the summer, with the effects being most significant in math. And those losses compound: students who experience the summer slide year after year fall further and further behind their peers, making it harder to catch up with each passing grade.

The students most affected are often those who made real gains during the school year but don't have structured learning opportunities over the break. All that hard work from your child, their teachers, and you deserves to be protected. That's where My Tutoring Partners comes in. Our summer tutoring programs are specifically designed to keep students engaged, practicing, and progressing during the months when learning loss is most likely to occur.

Why Summer Tutoring Makes Such a Big Difference

At-home habits are valuable, but for students who need more targeted support, summer tutoring is one of the most effective investments a family can make. And not all tutoring is created equal. What sets My Tutoring Partners apart is our commitment to relationship-based, data-informed instruction that's tailored to each student, not a one-size-fits-all workbook approach.

Here's what the research shows:

• A study published in the Review of Educational Research found that students who participated in summer learning programs gained an average of two months of learning compared to peers who did not.

• The RAND Corporation found that high-dosage tutoring (consistent, one-on-one or small-group sessions) is among the most effective interventions for closing learning gaps.

• Students who receive regular tutoring over the summer don't just retain what they learned...They often arrive in the fall ahead of where they left off in the spring.

At My Tutoring Partners, we see this firsthand. 70% of our students demonstrate measurable growth toward grade-level benchmarks, and our attendance rate stays above 90% because students actually look forward to their sessions. Our tutors don't just drill content. They build relationships, track progress in real time through our proprietary MINT platform, and adjust instruction based on how each student is growing week by week.

The key word is consistent. A few sporadic sessions won't move the needle the way a structured summer program will. That's exactly what My Tutoring Partners' summer tutoring packages are designed to provide.
