The summer holidays are often seen as a well-earned break for pupils, but for many, they also risk becoming a learning gap. Research shows that extended time away from structured learning can cause pupils – especially those already behind—to lose progress made during the school year. That’s where summer tuition plays a vital role in helping students stay on track.
At TLC Live, we offer flexible, high-quality online tuition throughout the summer, helping pupils consolidate knowledge, fill gaps and build confidence – all from the comfort of home.
Why Summer Learning Matters
Summer learning loss, sometimes referred to as the ‘summer slide’, is a recognised issue, particularly in maths and English. Without regular practice or support, pupils can forget key skills or fall out of learning routines – making September a harder transition for both pupils and teachers.
Summer tuition provides a structured way to keep pupils engaged, progressing, and ready to return to school with confidence. It is especially useful for pupils who need catch-up support, those approaching key exam years, and learners with SEND or EAL needs.
Flexible Learning That Fits Around Summer Plans
We understand that summer should also be a time to rest and recharge. That’s why TLC Live’s summer tuition is designed to be flexible, accessible and stress-free. Sessions can be arranged to suit families’ schedules, with pupils logging in from home at a time that works for them.
All sessions are delivered live by qualified UK teachers and take place one-to-one or in small groups. Pupils can focus on specific subjects, reinforce key areas, or receive help with transition topics – such as moving from primary to secondary school or preparing for GCSEs.
Supporting Schools, Parents and Local Authorities
Our summer tuition programmes are used not only by parents, but also by schools and local authorities looking to extend support into the holidays. Whether funded through Pupil Premium, recovery programmes or Alternative Provision, online tuition offers a cost-effective, measurable solution.
With over 100,000 pupils supported, TLC Live has experience in delivering summer learning that meets a wide range of needs. We also provide full reporting, so progress can be tracked and used to inform planning for the new term.
Personalised Tuition That Makes a Real Difference
Before tuition begins, pupils complete a short assessment to identify their starting point. Tutors then create a learning plan focused on priority areas, helping learners get the most out of each session.
This targeted, personalised approach boosts both academic understanding and learner confidence – setting pupils up for a smoother, more successful return in September.
Keep Pupils Engaged, Confident and Prepared This Summer
Summer tuition helps bridge the gap between school years, reinforces learning and builds momentum for the term ahead. Whether pupils need support catching up, moving up or getting ahead, TLC Live’s summer tuition gives them the tools to succeed – without overwhelming their break.
