Summer Tutoring: An Opportunity for Any Student
- Was your student sufficiently challenged this year?
- Do they need to fill in some gaps to get ready for next school year?
- Is your student making the big move to middle or high school this September?
- Is your student planning on taking standardized tests in the fall?
Summer tutoring gives students at all levels the opportunity to build confidence, identify their strengths and areas in need of improvement, and feel ready for what’s to come.
Just one session a week this summer with Summit’s expert tutors can make a big difference when that first day of school arrives!
Tutoring Works with Your Summer Plans
Summit does not deal in packages, so there is no set number of sessions: you pay as you go, for just the sessions you schedule with your tutor, and you don’t have to worry about missing that annual family trip!
Who Should Consider Summer Tutoring?
Summit can help prepare students for the transitions from one grade level to the next. A little extra structure and study can benefit just about any student, but at Summit, we find that middle- and high-schoolers in particular see great rewards from summer tutoring.
Even if you’re expecting an easy transition for your student in the fall, we all know these last few years have been less than ideal on the academic front. Pandemic learning loss remains a concern, and it will only be compounded by the age-old threat of the “summer slide.”
With Summit Your Student Gets:
- One-on-one tutoring, the best way to effectively and directly teach students
- Expert tutors that meet your student exactly where they are academically
- Flexibility – tutoring in-person or online
- Tutoring sessions that are tailored to their schedule, pace, and learning style
- A supportive, low-pressure environment to confront and overcome challenges
PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
Summit has a number of programs that may fit the bill, depending on your individual student’s needs. Each is personalized and
managed by a dedicated Program Director who will carefully match one of our expert tutors to your student’s individual needs.
SUBJECT TUTORING
Best for: students in 5th–12th grade who want to catch up or get ahead in a specific subject, or for those who would benefit from a structured approach to their summer assignments.
Targeted support from a subject-matter expert not only helps students fill learning gaps, but also equips them with valuable study, organizational, and learning skills that will set them up for success in life beyond the classroom.
AP TUTORING
Best for: students taking AP classes in the fall.
AP classes are actually college courses, and they bring a whole new level of rigor that’s typically unfamiliar to high school students. An introduction to the material students will see in the fall gives them the chance to get used to the content and helps them feel more comfortable heading into the school year.
COLLEGE TUTORING

ADVANCED PEAK WRITING COURSES
Best for: students in 6th–11th grade who want to boost their writing capabilities.
An expert writing tutor will guide your student to learn the ins and outs of quality writing. The Fundamental program focuses on developing the basic skills of essay writing. The Analytical program focuses on reading literature analytically, annotating a text, writing a compelling and supportable thesis, and more! As their confidence and capabilities as a writer grow, your student will feel better prepared to excel both in current classes and in the higher-level English and history classes.
ADVANCED PEAK MATH COURSES
Best for: students in 4th–10th grade who wish to accelerate their math learning.
These one-on-one programs address material on a deeper, more rigorous level, strengthening problem-solving ability, improving content mastery, and bolstering confidence. Peak Math courses are a great way for younger students to ensure they are ready for advanced, honors, and AP courses that lie ahead.
FOUNDATIONS OF SAT/ACT
Best for: students heading into 10th grade.
Summit Foundations is a perfect opportunity to maximize the efficiency of future SAT and ACT prep. Your student will be set up for success by working one-on-one with an expert tutor who will fill in gaps and strengthen core foundations skills found on the PSAT and upcoming college admission tests. The added benefit? Bolstered academic skills heading into the fall!
