Beat the summer slide!

Don’t Let Summer Set Your Child Back: How to Beat the “Summer Slide” with Mathnasium

The summer holidays are a time to relax, recharge, and enjoy a well-earned break from school. 

But did you know that many students lose up to three months of academic progress over the summer—especially in maths?

This learning loss is often called the “summer slide,” and it happens when children take a complete break from any academic activity. Maths is particularly vulnerable because it relies on regular practice and building on concepts over time. Without that reinforcement, even the most confident students can forget key skills by September.

So what can parents do?

The good news is that just a few hours a week of engaging, focused maths learning can make a world of difference. That’s where Mathnasium comes in.

At Mathnasium of Hammersmith, our summer programmes are designed to:

• Keep skills sharp and prevent learning loss

• Rebuild confidence in areas where students may have struggled

• Introduce new topics to help them get ahead before the new school year

• Make maths fun, rewarding and stress-free

Whether your child needs to catch up, keep up or get ahead, our flexible summer sessions fit around your holiday plans. We offer everything from 11+ and 7+ preparation, to STEAM projects, financial literacy activities, and more—so your child can stay motivated and excited about learning.

Start with a Free Diagnostic Assessment

Every student starts with a complimentary diagnostic assessment so we can tailor their learning plan to meet their specific needs. We make sure every session is purposeful, confidence-boosting, and fun.
