Many summer born children are around 13 months behind the average for their year group in maths, according to the report produced by Every Child a Chance Trust.
Researchers studied 47,237 six and seven-year-olds who were among the weakest in their class in terms of numeracy.
They found that children born between May and August are around a third more likely to need extra numeracy tuition, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
Children who struggled with maths were 35 per cent more likely to have been born between May 1 and August 31 and were more likely to be boys than girls.
The struggling pupils were also 35 per cent more likely to be from an ethnic minority and 50 per cent more likely to speak English as an additional language.
The study also found that with a short but intense tutoring scheme struggling children can catch up with their peers.
After just 3.7 months of support, the children made average gains of 15.7 months.
Children who were tutored in pairs and groups of three appeared to make just as much progress as those taught on a one-to-one basis.
