Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s tutor has been a great help with my 15-year-old son. He has established good rapport and is successful in helping my child get organized and follow through on his homework. Highly recommended!

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES
Our Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor has been very consistent in his requirements for our son. It is easy to see that he has a lot of experience with “difficult” kids. He keeps his calm and finds a way to move forward. Jerry has helped our son a lot with organizational skills and planning. It has been only 2 months but we are definitely seeing progress in the right direction. It is wonderful that the tutoring is done in the comfort of our home and Y3K Tutor In Your Home was willing to find the time that worked well for us.

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES
We had first engaged Y3K Tutor In Your Home five years ago, when our son rose at 1:00 AM one night and said he’d felt as if he were “drowning in school”. This is despite the excellent LD assistance provided in his middle school. During their first meeting, I could hear my shy son actually giggling with the tutor and his confidence, outlook, and grades all began to shift seismically.
Today, that frightened little boy is a confident and fully engaged student who graduated high school this past spring and on the honor roll. As he and his tutor have built a wonderful relationship of trust and friendship, we intend this relationship to continue through college. In my estimation, our son’s Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor is an outstanding educator who meets students where they are, so as to get them to where they dream of being.

It’s not the amount of time you devote, but what you devote to the time that counts.
There will be a silent auction for the Newton-Wellesley Hospital Annual Gala. This year’s event will help shed light on opioid and substance use disorders in our community. With the Y3K Tutor In Your Home auction donation, they will be able to support the launch of the Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s multidisciplinary service dedicated to preventing and treating substance use disorders.
The owner has been tutoring my kids – now in 10th grade – since they were in elementary school. The specific needs have varied over the years and Jerry has always been able to adapt his teaching and style to provide what was needed. He is able to provide support across all the academic subjects – but just as critically – he has helped with organizational skills and planning. And he has remained even and cool-headed in the face of difficult teenagers, resistant to getting help. In the face of reactions that would fell the most intact ego, Jerry has maintained his sense of humor. I can’t recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home highly enough.

Do you remember when you were a child and your mother would bring in cupcakes to celebrate your birthday? Do you remember bringing in food for a holiday party for the last day before winter break? Remember trading some of your lunch items you didn’t want with a friend? Do you remember trading Halloween candy with your classmates the day after Halloween? Well no more! This is according to the food allergy policy at the Newton Public Schools in Newton, MA and other schools throughout the country. They are using political correctness to ruin celebrations for the entire student population due to a few that may have an allergy.
Here is an excerpt from the Newton Public Schools policy:
“It is a citywide School Committee policy that the sharing of food during snack and/or lunch is not allowed . . . It is also the policy that no food is to be brought into the classroom which means no cupcakes for birthdays or candy at Halloween or Valentine’s Day.”
What happened to allowing kids to be kids? What happened to personal responsibility where if one is allergic to something, they simply say “No thank you” and don’t eat it?
We just received a food allergy policy from one of the elementary schools at the Newton Public Schools in Newton, MA. What we found was shocking. Gone are the days of having the kids with allergies sit at a nut-free table. Now they are forcing all kids that eat nuts to sit at a nut table and kids with hummus and chick peas to sit at a separate table. Has the world gone crazy?
Below is an excerpt from the food allergy policy:
“There will be a nut table in the cafeteria. All students who bring lunch containing peanuts, other tree nuts (including some spreads such as Nutella) or sesame seeds must sit at this table. There will also be a hummus table in the cafeteria. All students who bring a lunch that has hummus or chickpeas must sit at this table. All children will wash their hands before snack/lunch. Children sitting at the nut table or hummus table must wash their hands after snack/lunch. The staff will also wash all tables following snack and lunch, with special attention being paid to the washing of the nut table and hummus table. Classrooms that have a student with an allergy will have a separate table for nuts/ hummus for snack time.”
