Today, we flip the script as host Lara Courtepatte steps into the guest seat for a special episode all about summer learning loss—what educators call the “Summer Slide”—and what parents can do to keep their child’s mind active, engaged, and thriving all summer long.
Guest host Jacqueline Ivanc sits down with Lara, the co-founder of Tutor Teach and a passionate advocate for equitable, joy-filled education. With years of experience as a tutor, educator, and mom of four, Lara brings both professional insight and personal wisdom to the conversation, sharing how small shifts in the summer can lead to big gains come fall.
In this episode, we unpack the real impact of summer break on students—from which subjects tend to slide the most, to how learning loss affects a child’s confidence, attention span, and motivation when school starts back up. Lara also tackles the age-old question: How do we balance summer fun with learning without turning the season into a second semester?
If you’ve ever wondered whether summer tutoring is worth it—or if you’re just looking for simple ways to keep your child’s brain active without taking the magic out of summer—this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and easy-to-apply takeaways.
