I'm honored to have two of our top tutors join me for a free parent workshop on May 24th. You will learn how to:
✔ Plan interactive summer activities so fun that your child won’t even realize they’re learning
✔ Ensure your child is up to speed after years of inconsistencies and setbacks
✔ Access online and offline learning resources that make summer learning fun and easy
✔ Incorporate math, reading, and writing into your child’s summer routine to minimize pushback
✔ Encourage engagement when your child seems burned out or distracted
