Not every child needs help over the summer. It's worth it when the June report card flagged a subject, reading has stalled, or your child is nervous about the next grade.
A low mark or a worried comment on the final report card left you unsure what to do before September.
Books stay on the shelf all July, and your child says reading is boring, too hard or just not for them.
Times tables and steps that came easily in June now take longer, and your child gets frustrated quickly.
Your child worries about Grade 9, a new school or a harder subject, and keeps asking if they are ready.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
Choose a certified teacher who can keep skills going in short sessions. You can ask them to work on gaps from this year and preview what's coming next, while leaving most of the summer free.
Books can stay on the shelf all July, and some children decide reading is boring. You can ask a tutor to help find books your child actually wants to read, practise reading aloud and talk about the story. It pairs well with the free library summer reading club.
Times tables and steps that came easily in June can feel slower by August. A tutor can help with short, regular practice on this year's facts and steps. Ask for practice that feels like games, not long worksheets, so math stays familiar for September.
Some children are ready for more, or nervous about Grade 9 or a new school. You can ask a tutor to preview the big topics of the next grade, building on what your child already knows. Choose a teacher who knows that grade, so September brings fewer surprises.
Camps, cottage weekends and trips fill the summer quickly. You pick the days and times that work, and agree with the tutor on short, focused sessions around your plans. Share your summer dates early, and plan pauses for trips, then pick up again when you're home.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

Questions about matching, scheduling or pricing? Reach us whichever way suits you, and our team will take it from there.
Partly, and researchers still debate how big it is. Some studies suggest students can lose about two months of reading and math skills over the summer, while newer studies find smaller, mixed losses. Most agree children learn more slowly in summer, so a little regular reading and practice helps.
Less than you might think. Short, regular sessions and daily reading for fun usually work better than long catch-up days. Sleep, outdoor play and downtime matter too: the Canadian Paediatric Society lists 9 to 12 hours of sleep a day for children aged 6 to 12.
It depends on the goal. Many school boards run summer programs or credit courses, so check what yours offers first. A tutor can work one-on-one on your child's own gaps, at times you choose, and some families use both.
Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.
