Summer: A Pivotal Choice in Your Child’s Educational Journey
Summer is more than just a break—it’s a critical bridge between academic years. For many families, summer poses a significant decision: will you let the unstructured months slip by, accruing a “summer slide” that can set your child 2-3 months behind, or will you take proactive steps to ensure a season of growth and achievement? At Liddane Tutoring, we believe in turning summer into a season of strategic learning and confidence building.
Option 1: The Risks of Unstructured Summer Learning
Many parents hope that natural, unstructured learning opportunities will fill the summer months. Unfortunately, research has shown that without a structured plan, students can lose vital academic progress over the break. This “summer slide” can create challenges when transitioning back into school, making it harder for students to catch up and engage with new material.
Option 2: A Summer Transformed with Liddane Tutoring
Instead of leaving your child’s progress to chance, why not actively work towards a brighter academic future? Here’s how partnering with Liddane Tutoring can turn your child’s summer into a transformative experience:

Make Senior Year Memorable—for the Right Reasons
High school seniors face a pivotal moment—their final year before stepping into the next phase of life. Yet, for many, senior year isn’t about excitement and celebration—it’s consumed by deadlines, stress, and sleepless nights spent agonizing over college applications.
At Liddane Tutoring, we believe that senior year should be filled with memorable moments, not last-minute panic. That’s why our College Application Workshops are designed to help students get ahead during the summer—so they start the school year prepared, confident, and stress-free.
The Senior Year Experience: A Tale of Two Students
📌 Senior A dives into fall semester balancing AP classes, extracurriculars, and looming college applications. Weekends disappear into essay writing. Social events get skipped for deadlines. Stress levels rise as sleep decreases. Family tensions mount as gentle reminders turn into anxious nagging.
📌 Senior B enjoys every football game, club meeting, and senior event because their college applications were already completed during summer sessions with Liddane. They step into senior year prepared, excited, and free to enjoy the moments that matter.
A Different Approach—Less Stress, More Confidence
During our summer workshops, students get expert guidance to:
✔️ Draft, refine, and finalize their personal statements before the school-year chaos begins
✔️ Complete supplemental essays when their minds are fresh, rather than under pressure
✔️ Create an application strategy that highlights their unique strengths
✔️ Organize application materials and deadlines before senior year starts
And the best part? They do it alongside friends, making the process collaborative and supportive rather than isolating and stressful.
The Power of Preparation
We hear it time and again: “I wish I had done this sooner.” Parents and students often don’t realize how overwhelming the application process can be until they’re in the thick of it. By tackling it during the summer, students set themselves up for success—without sacrificing sleep, sanity, or the joy of their final year of high school.
Don't Let Summer Learning Slip Away - Summer Programs at Liddane Tutoring
Imagine your child looking at their summer reading list with tears of frustration rather than anticipation.
For students with learning differences like dyslexia, ADHD, or processing challenges, reading can feel like an insurmountable obstacle rather than a doorway to adventure. Words jump around the page. Comprehension becomes fragmentary. And the joy of reading—that fundamental pleasure that opens so many doors—remains elusive.
Summer reading without support often means:
Daily battles and negotiations ("Just read for 20 minutes!")
Tears and frustration for both parent and child
Growing anxiety about falling further behind peers
A widening gap in both skills and confidence
A Different Summer Reading Experience Is Possible
Picture your child working with a tutor who:
Recognizes the neurological basis of their reading challenges
Employs specialized techniques designed specifically for their learning difference
Connects reading to their genuine interests and passions
Celebrates small victories that build toward lasting confidence
Without school-year pressure, summer becomes the perfect time to transform their relationship with reading.
"My daughter would literally hide books rather than read them. Her dyslexia made reading such a painful experience that she'd do anything to avoid it. After summer tutoring with techniques specifically for dyslexic learners, she's actually choosing to read. The other day I found her reading in bed with a flashlight after 'lights out'-something I never thought l'd see."
- Parent of a 5th grader
What This Could Mean for Your Child
Imagine your child:
Approaching reading with strategies that work with their brain, not against it
Discovering books they genuinely enjoy
Building reading stamina in a supportive environment
Starting the school year with confidence rather than dread
Our specialized reading program has limited summer availability.
Reserve your spot today to transform your child's relationship with reading this summer.

ACT Updates in 2025: What You Need to Know
The ACT, a cornerstone of college admissions, is undergoing significant changes in 2025. These updates are set to roll out in two phases: one in April and another in September. For students and families preparing for college, staying informed about these updates is crucial to make the best decisions for standardized testing.
ACT vs. SAT: A Quick Comparison
When it comes to college admissions, both the ACT and SAT are equally accepted at colleges across the United States. However, there are key differences between the two tests, especially with the upcoming ACT changes.
Format: The SAT has already transitioned to a fully digital and adaptive test format. The ACT will follow suit with a digital test option beginning in April 2025, but it will remain non-adaptive and continue to offer a paper option.
Length: Both tests are just over two hours long, but the ACT has optional sections—Science and Writing—that extend the test by up to 80 additional minutes if chosen.
Science and STEM: While the SAT integrates science concepts into its Math and Verbal sections, the ACT features a separate Science section and offers a composite STEM score, adding an edge for students pursuing science, technology, engineering, or math-focused fields.
Calculator Use: The SAT provides a built-in graphing calculator, while the ACT allows students to bring their own.
For a more detailed breakdown of the two tests, including tips for choosing the right one for your goals, feel free to contact Liddane Tutoring.
Why Do These Changes Matter?
The updates to the ACT reflect the evolving nature of standardized testing, particularly in the shift toward digital formats. These changes may impact how students prepare, how they experience the test, and even how colleges evaluate their scores.
At Liddane Tutoring, we specialize in helping students navigate standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, ensuring they feel confident and prepared for success.

How to Know When to Start Tutoring
As the school year begins, many parents grapple with the decision of whether to start tutoring immediately or wait to see how their child performs. This decision can be particularly challenging for families with student athletes or those involved in extracurricular activities, as the fall season can quickly become overwhelming. Here are some key considerations to help you make the best choice for your child.
What Grade is the Student Entering?
For elementary and middle school students, the decision often depends on the family’s capacity to provide support. Early struggles can sometimes be managed by parents or teachers without the need for a tutor. If parents can offer additional help at home and monitor progress effectively, it might be best to hold off on tutoring. However, a trained tutor can always step in later if needed.
For high school students, starting the year with a tutor is often advisable. High school coursework can be demanding, and falling behind can lead to significant stress. While experiencing some academic challenges can foster growth, for many students, it can also be detrimental to their confidence and overall performance.
Is the Student Facing a Transition?
Transitions, such as moving from middle to high school or preparing for college, can be particularly challenging. If your child is going through a significant change or facing personal challenges like illness or family issues, maintaining tutoring support through the first part of the school year can provide stability and continuity.
Does the Child Have Learning Differences?
Students with learning differences, executive function deficits, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or other significant challenges often benefit from starting the year with a tutor. Establishing a supportive relationship early can help manage the additional stress of schoolwork and organization, making the overall experience less overwhelming.
How Does the Student Handle Stress?
Consider your child’s response to stress. Do they shut down or avoid schoolwork, or do they seek help and form study groups? A tutor can provide essential guidance and support during stressful times, helping students develop resilience and healthy study habits.
At Liddane Tutoring, we aim to provide honest and supportive advice tailored to each family’s needs. We are here to help you make the best decision for your child’s academic journey. Feel free to reach out to discuss your options with one of our tutors or with Andrea. Have a great back-to-school season!
