Summer Slide

Year after year, we see the phenomenon knows as "summer slide"!  I'm sure you know about it...it's the slow and casual breakdown of knowledge that  happens over the summer when students aren't "using their brains" like they do in school!  It's funny to joke about, but honestly, it's a real thing!  The article attached outlines some startling statistics:http://www.summerlearning.org/?page=know_the_facts  


So what's the solution?  Enroll your students at the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville!  Come in now for a diagnostic assessment, and then keep tutoring as part of your summer routine.  Your student will keep and IMPROVE their skills over the summer and be ready to take on their new grade when school starts!  We can also help with any summer packets and let you have fun with them while we focus on their learning (which is fun to us)!


Call now at 268-8556.  We will tell you about our flexible packages that can cover every student in your household!

Merry Christmas to All!

This is such a beautiful and special time of year!  At the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville, we celebrate families and joy.  To all of you, from all of us, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

School Supplies - longing for the good old days!

In honor of Throw Back Thursday (#TBT) we have been contemplating the many things that are different about being an elementary school student now versus the late 60's/early 70's.

Who remembers this?

The school supply box was filled with pencils, crayons, an eraser, scissors, and ruler that the individual student would use. That was just about it!  Parents and students were responsible for keeping up with their supplies and this box was kept in the desk.

Today we have to buy the aforementioned supplies, plus hand sanitizer, white board markers, Deskjet ink, batteries, Kleenex, copy paper, colored pens, glue sticks, and the list goes on and on. Not to mention the specific binder sizes, specific folder colors (with and without prongs), college rule vs. wide rule notebook paper, etc.

We just yearn for a little more simplicity!  Yay for #TBT and fun memories.  And hold on - one day these will be the good old days!
