VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — It’s been a busy summer for Deborah DeJesus.
The owner of two tutoring centers said there’s been an uptick in clients because many parents worry their children are still struggling to catch up scholastically due to pandemic-related setbacks.
“A lot of children have fallen behind for sure,” said DeJesus, who owns Sylvan Learning in Williamsburg and Newport News. “Especially with younger children who are learning to read, learning virtually was just harder for them.”
