Summer Learning Activities That Actually Prepare Kids for the Next Grade

FORT WORTH, TX - Math Around the Corner announces its 2026 summer tutoring programs designed to prevent the academic regression that affects thousands of students across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex each year. The locally owned tutoring center offers personalized summer learning activities that keep students engaged while preparing them for the next grade level.

Research shows students lose significant ground during summer break. Students can lose up to 25-34% of their school-year progress in math and 17-28% in reading during a typical summer. Math Around the Corner's summer programs directly address this challenge through one-on-one tutoring, small group sessions, and targeted skill-building activities.

Personalized Approach Sets Programs Apart

Unlike large tutoring chains, Math Around the Corner maintains a boutique model that matches each student with a tutor based on learning style, personality, and academic goals. The center's summer tutor programs near you offer flexibility that busy Fort Worth families need, with sessions available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 10 PM, Saturdays from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Sundays from 12 PM to 8 PM.

Carol Bearden, founder of Math Around the Corner, established the center in 2006 while earning her master's degree in math education at Texas Christian University. Since then, the center has served over 400 students in the Fort Worth area, maintaining a 98% success rate for students who attend weekly tutoring sessions.

Summer Tutoring Programs Prevent Academic Setbacks

Only 31% of teachers agree that students have retained what they learned from the previous grade level, highlighting the widespread impact of summer learning loss. Math Around the Corner's summer tutoring programs address this challenge through several specialized tracks:

Math Refreshers help students review essential concepts before returning to school. Sessions include engaging activities, games, and focused practice to build confidence for the upcoming academic year.

Summer Assignment Assistance provides guidance for required summer work, helping students start early rather than rushing at the end of break.

Reading and Language Arts Programs maintain literacy skills through targeted practice in comprehension, vocabulary, and writing.

Test Preparation supports students preparing for SAT, ACT, and other college entrance exams with proven strategies that have helped 97% of Math Around the Corner students raise their scores in just one exam.

Virtual and In-Person Options Available

The center offers both in-person tutoring at its Fort Worth location and virtual sessions for families throughout the DFW metroplex. This flexibility accommodates travel plans and varying summer schedules while maintaining consistent academic engagement.

Educational camps and summer learning activities at Math Around the Corner feature small group sizes that allow for individualized attention. The majority of tutors are Texas Christian University students who maintain a minimum 3.6 GPA and serve as positive role models for younger students.
