High school students rejoice. Due to the coronavirus, a growing number of universities are now dropping the SAT and ACT requirement for fall 2021 admissions, including Boston University and University of California. Currently the list is about 51 universities and colleges that have removed the ACT/SAT requirement for the fall of 2021 and some are even extending the ban through the spring of 2022.

Breaking News: SAT Canceled

By

Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the College Board has announced that the SAT and SAT subject tests are canceled until further notice. Makeup exams for the March 14, 2020 testing date that was then postponed until March 28, 2020 are now officially canceled.  They have also canceled May 2, 2020 and June 6, 2020 testing sessions. Also eliminated are makeup tests for the originally scheduled March 25, 2020 SAT School Day administration and SAT School Day sessions on April 14, 2020 and April 28, 2020. PSAT sessions scheduled for April are canceled and will not take place this spring at all.

Students who already registered for May, whose March test centers were closed, or who do not receive March scores because of any irregularities will receive refunds. In May, students registered for June can transfer their registration to one of the fall SAT administrations for free. Students who want to cancel their SAT registration instead can get a refund by contacting their customer service.

Our Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutors continue to tutor all students using FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp and more! Lessons are as if we are in your home sitting right next to you.

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES #31

Our Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor has been terrific for my 7th grader with executive function and decoding issues. He met a boy frustrated about school, quickly established a great rapport and turned him into a boy with some confidence that he could meet the demands of 7th grade. It is an ongoing process.  Our tutor helps each week with organization of materials and assignments and working on homework where a little more explanation is needed.  He has been particularly helpful in helping with writing assignments, getting my son to think through the question, his argument and then really thoroughly explaining and supporting his arguments.  Before he was struggling to write 3 paragraphs, and now he is checking to make sure he has articulated every thought clearly.  Our tutor’s support each week reinforces the lessons and keeps my son on track and organized.  His grades have come up, but most importantly he is confident in himself as a student and is engaging more with teachers during the day.

Our 10-year-old daughters (identified as having executive function issues) have been working with Y3K Tutor In Your Home once a week for about six months and they are doing extremely well in school this year. In just a short time we have seen great strides made.  We found Y3K after interviewing many tutors and we went with them because our tutor seemed so passionate about educating kids and helping them to achieve.

Our tutor has a nice way about him and is very gifted in communicating with kids.  He highlights the positive in a student’s work and is supportive and encouraging on the areas that need work.  He is also receptive to parent input.  

I highly recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home. Having this tutor work with our kids has been terrific.
