Press Release Summary: MCPS teacher Ashley Fagel sees "brain drain" every September

Press Release Body: MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - Local tutoring company Ashley Tutors
(http://www.ashleytutors.com) has hired an experienced and diverse tutoring team to
put into practice the Ashley Tutors' motto: LIVE! Learning Is Very Entertaining.
School is winding down, summer is fast approaching, and the energetic instructors
are ready to keep students' minds sharp and prepare them for next school year.
Ashley Tutors offers one-on-one in-home academic help in any subject for students in
grades kindergarten through 12 in the Washington, D.C. area.

Research shows children can forget some of what they've learned over the summer,
according to Harris Cooper, director of Duke University's program in Education.
The Ashley Tutors team is poised to help students retain knowledge over the summer
break. Pairing your child with Ashley Tutors is just what is needed to start the
new school year a step ahead.
"As a teacher, I see 'brain drain' every September," said Fagel, who was featured
prominently on NBC 4 in Washington, D.C. in a recent story about keeping students
sharp over the summer. "Kids who took off don't get back on the learning track for
almost three months. Typically, the first quarter of the new school year is spent
catching up, learning new routines and expectations, and relearning previously
taught materials. Our tutors can help students avoid that pitfall by being the
catalyst for an educational and fun summer!"

It is difficult for working parents to find time to provide a learning environment
for their child in the summer. Ashley Tutors offers the perfect opportunity for
your child to receive both an entertaining and educational experience. Parents can
also visit Ashley's Journal on the Ashley Tutors website for useful tips on how to
keep your student's minds moving this summer so they're not behind next September.
Suggestions include walks to the library, keeping daily journals and active outdoor
play.

The Ashley Tutors' team that can make even summer learning entertaining consists of
12 instructors with learning from exceptional college and graduate educations and
also come from differing backgrounds with intriguing personal stories. "With a
lively interactive teaching method, it is important to have well educated and
extremely energetic instructors," said Fagel. "So, our team has been assembled to
be as diverse as the students we tutor all over the Washington, D.C. area."
