Hurray, the summer holidays are just around the corner! For many children (and parents) the question now arises: Should one use the coming weeks to study or just relax?

Learning myth 1: No learning during the summer vacation?
When the summer holidays finally come, most children only want one thing: free time! There is hardly any thought of learning. And indeed, after a strenuous year, the students really deserved an extensive break to recharge their batteries. But time is not "lost": because even when playing, painting and doing handicrafts, mental abilities are also trained.
However, it is important to ensure a certain daily structure even during the summer holidays - routines such as joint activities or sports courses provide support and promote mental stimulation. If there is a need to catch up in one or the other school subject, the summer holidays are also the ideal time for tutoring courses, such as those offered by GoStudent: With the help of a learning diary, strengths and weaknesses are evaluated and the successes are kept in view so that the children can start the school year can look forward to it with a good feeling.
Learning myth 2: what you've learned disappears in the summer slump?
Sure - when difficult material is finally anchored in the brain, you definitely don't want to lose it again. Many parents fear that a longer break from study during the summer vacation could lead to a loss of knowledge in the children. This thesis is also supported by various articles on the Internet. A neuroscientist has now given the all-clear: "Once you have learned something, it doesn't go away," says Martin Korte, a learning expert at the TU Braunschweig.
However, after the break, it takes a few weeks for the brain to get used to learning again and to be able to access what it has learned. GoStudent courses offer valuable support so that math formulas and the like are still right after the summer: Here, the material is regularly repeated in short units without overwhelming the child.
Learning myth 3: only bad students take tutoring in the summer?
In any case, tutoring is part of the compulsory program in summer if a repeat exam is due in autumn. But even if the child simply shows increased interest in a certain topic or wants to prepare well for the coming school year, a tutoring course in the summer can be useful.
Regardless of the subject in which the knowledge is to be consolidated: With GoStudent tuition, private one-to-one tuition is easily held online at low prices, so that, if necessary, new things can be learned on vacation, for example. As part of a free trial lesson, the pupils can try out the practical system easily and without obligation.
