Newton Parent Testimonial

“I cannot say enough good things about Y3K. The owner has tutored both my son and daughter through elementary, middle, and now high school. His skill, warmth and flexibility have enabled both of my children to address their challenges and achieve their goals. He is engaging and knowledgeable across subjects, and is also able to teach study habits and organization skills, even when there is resistance! 🙂 He is a complete professional, and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to attend school meetings as an articulate advocate. He has had a truly significant influence on my children’s academic success and self esteem, and has been a great resource for me as a single parent. His dedication, humor, and abilities as a teacher make him not only an extremely gifted tutor, but also an excellent mentor and role model for my young teens. I give Y3K my highest recommendation!”

Advanced Placement AP Courses & Weston High School

By

High school AP courses are not the classes that make a student stand out like they did in the past to colleges.

In fact Boston Magazine rated Weston High School in Weston, MA first in its list of the state’s top public high schools.

College NCAA Ineligibility From High School Courses?

By

On average 10.5% of incoming college freshman are rejected each year for Division 1 sports because their high school courses they graduated with do not meet academic standards set by the NCAA. To be eligible to play Division 1 or Division 2 sports, incoming freshman must complete 14 to 16 NCAA approved core courses in high school, score a certain level in the SAT or ACT, and have kept up their grade point average. The NCAA approves most high school classes but does deem some ineligible. Their decision for each town varies.

Data from some local Massachusetts Y3K Tutor In Your Home towns is absolutely shocking. For example Wellesley High School in offers 26 classes, Newton North High School offers 28, Concord-Carlisle High School offers 30, and Newton South High School offers 30 classes that do not meet the association’s requirements for a core course. Lexington High School in Lexington MA is in a category all to itself with a whopping 78 ineligible courses. This data is especially surprising as all of the schools on this list are traditionally top ranked schools year after year.
