Brookline Parent Testimonial

“Y3K Tutor In Your Home is the best home tutor service I’ve been able to find and has helped my young son tremendously with his marks. Not only did the tutor arrive on time and offer reasonable rates, but he was warm, friendly and does a great job teaching my son. In fact, my son now looks forward to doing his homework with the tutor and is upset when the session ends. The tutor was very flexible, organized and worked with me to reach our goals. I could not recommend this company more! Give them a try, and you’ll see for yourself why I stick with them.”

Have wide padded shoulder straps and a hip strap to distribute weight. Make sure the backpack does not hang below the student’s hip line. Also keep the heaviest books closest to the back.

Research confirms that reading daily with your child in a fun, bonding and expressive way is the most important thing you can do to have them want to read. This is because kids will associate reading with pleasure. The daily reading can be anything including books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
