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:

• Customized Strategies: We design learning methods that align with the unique way your child’s brain processes information.

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 Much Tutoring Makes Sense for Your Child?

As the back-to-school season approaches, many families are considering how to best support their children's academic success. At Liddane, we understand that deciding whether to have tutoring sessions more than once a week can be a challenging decision. Here are some things to think about.
Start by evaluating your child's academic performance. Are grades generally improving over time? What are teachers saying in their comments? Engaging with teachers and school staff can provide valuable insights into your child's progress and areas that may need additional support. Consider how much time you, as parents, are dedicating to homework completion. Would one day of tutoring provide enough relief, or would two or more days be more beneficial? This can help determine the level of support your child needs. Reflect on the initial reasons for seeking tutoring. Has your child shown sufficient growth in the targeted skills? Understanding the goals for tutoring can help decide the frequency of sessions needed to achieve these objectives. If your child is transitioning from elementary to middle school or from middle to high school, remember that the workload and requirements will increase. Preparing for these changes with additional tutoring sessions can be advantageous. Imagine the demands of the school year in full swing. Is your child showing signs of being capable, willing, and ready to handle these challenges? This foresight can guide your decision on the frequency of tutoring sessions.
One day of tutoring a week is likely suitable for students achieving Bs or higher who want to improve specific skills, students managing homework well but needing weekly check-ins for big projects or test and is ideal for basic organizational check-ins and supplementing education for higher-functioning students.
Two or more tutoring sessions a week is recommended for struggling students with consistently low grades or negative teacher comments, and for families unable to monitor homework regularly. If your student has significant difficulties in tracking assignments or dealing with procrastination, starting the year off with more tutor hours will pay good dividends. The same goes for students with deficits in reading comprehension and writing skills that require immediate and consistent attention.
By carefully considering these factors, you can make an informed decision that best supports your child's academic journey. We’re here to help you navigate these choices and provide the support your child needs to succeed. Reach out.

Take the Stress Out of Summer and Back to School

Summer is an excellent opportunity for students to enhance their skills and explore new interests. And many families tell us that having Liddane tutors support students’ skills helps their family life be focused more on summertime rest and relaxation than constant nagging to study. Read our blog for more reasons why summer learning can be great for students of all ages.:

1. Catch Up on Key Skills: If a student struggled with a particular subject during the school year, summer provides a chance to review and reinforce those skills. Whether it's math, reading, or writing, targeted practice can help bridge any gaps.

2. Learn New Skills: Summer is the perfect time to explore something new. Whether it's picking up a musical instrument, learning a new language, or trying out coding, students can dive into areas they're curious about.

3. Stay Motivated: Regular learning during the summer keeps students engaged and motivated. It prevents the "summer slide" where academic progress declines due to lack of practice.

4. Beat Boredom: Instead of feeling bored during the break, students can channel their energy into productive a

ctivities. Whether it's a science project, creative writing, or gardening, there's always something exciting to explore.

5. Maintain Math Skills: Math tends to be a subject where consistent practice matters. Summer math programs or fun math games can help students retain what they've learned and even build new skills.

6. Rock at Reading: Summer reading lists or book clubs encourage students to read for pleasure. It's a chance to discover captivating stories, expand vocabulary, improve comprehension, and get ahead of summer reading lists.

7. Build Confidence: Successfully mastering new skills or overcoming challenges during the summer builds confidence. Whether it's swimming, cooking, or playing chess, each achievement contributes to a student's self-assurance.

Remember, summer learning doesn't have to be formal or rigid. It can involve hobbies, hands-on projects, and exploration. Encourage your student to embrace the season as a time for growth and discovery! We are here to support your family and students all summer long. Let us know how we can help!

Why Summer Learning Matters: Liddane Tutoring's Role in Skill Retention

As days get warmer, summer break beckons. Time away from regular routine is a wonderful thing.   We also see it as an opportunity to keep young minds sharp, ensuring they return to school with renewed vigor and understanding. And having our team of expert tutors help tackle skill retention and reading lists gives families more time to play together.

Think of student athletes—the ones who hit the gym even during the off-season. They know that consistent practice maintains peak performance. Similarly, Liddane keeps minds agile. Whether it's math drills or essay prompts, we believe in year-round learning. Summer isn't a pause; it's a chance to sprint ahead.

Research has long warned us about the "summer slide." When students take a break from learning, they risk forgetting vital facts and skills acquired during the school year. Imagine a student's hard-earned math prowess slipping away like sand through their fingers. It's a real concern—one that Liddane addresses head-on.

For our youngest learners in elementary school, summer isn't just about splashing in pools. It's a chance to reinforce foundational skills. Liddane's tutors work magic with decoding instruction, phonics mastery, and sight reading. We use previewing strategies to help students recall prior knowledge and set a purpose for reading. These building blocks pave the way for confident readers. And writing? We encourage imaginative stories and descriptive paragraphs, nurturing young authors.

As students climb the academic ladder, challenges evolve.  Essay writing becomes an art form, and math concepts deepen. Liddane offers support for high-level math and science courses, ensuring that calculus, physics, and data science don't remain mysteries.

At Liddane, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Our tutors connect with students as people first, recognizing their unique needs and interests. Whether it's ESL support, executive function coaching, or college test prep, we tailor our approach. And yes, we're here during summer too—bridging gaps, nurturing growth, and ensuring that skills remain razor-sharp.

Summer isn't a void; it's a bridge. Knowledge gained during the school year shouldn't evaporate—it should flourish. Liddane Tutoring ensures that students return to school not just refreshed but armed with sharper skills. Reach out to see how we can help your family truly make the most of summer.
