Reward Dinner for Students!

Last night, students and tutors from the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville celebrated much deserved success for 4th quarter mid-term achievements.

These students were issued a challenge after 3rd quarter report cards to finish the school year strong! They were incented to have all grades at a C or above by mid term and if they did, they would be treated to a celebration dinner at the Red Elephant!  These students rose to the challenge and worked hard to have their assignments in and their grades up to par!  They checked Grade Portal regularly, learned how to ask their teachers to get their grades posted in a timely fashion, and made sure to have their planners filled in so they could keep up with assignments.

We are confident these students will continue these practices for the next couple of weeks and come home with a great report card when school is out! This dinner was a great celebration of their efforts and we congratulate each and every one of them!  #tutoringclubjax  #redelephant

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!
