Press Release Summary: Ashley Tutors can help your student avoid the "brain drain"
this summer

Press Release Body: Montgomery County, Md. - Ashley Tutors'
(http://www.ashleytutors.com ) Ashley Fagel, the lead tutor and founder of Ashley
Tutors, will be featured in an NBC4 (http://nbc4.com )news story next Tuesday, May
20 at 6:00 pm. She will discuss why it is important that students keep learning all
summer, whether it be with a tutor or their parents. "As a teacher, I see 'brain
drain' every September. Kids who took off don't get back on the learning track for
almost three months," said Fagel.

Research shows that from June through August children can forget some of what
they've learned, according to Harris Cooper, director of Duke University's program
in education. Cooper's research has shown that achievement test scores on average
declined between the spring and the fall.

"Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is spent catching up, learning
new routines and expectations, and relearning previously taught materials," said
Fagel. Visit Ashley's Journal on the Ashley Tutors website for great tips on how to
keep your student sharp this summer so they're not a step behind next September.
Suggestions include walks to the library, keeping daily journals and active outdoor
play.

Ashley Tutors believes learning should be fun and offers the perfect opportunity
for your child to receive both an educational and entertaining experience. To make
summer learning cool, Ashley Tutors' has an energetic and experienced team of
instructors who offer knowledge from their exceptional college and graduate
educations, as well as interesting backgrounds and experiences. "Whether it is our
reading tutors, math tutors or any other kid of tutor your student might need, our
team tries to practice our motto all year long: L.I.V.E. Learning Is Very
Entertaining!"
