Y3K Tutor In Your Home

Online Tutoring

By

Everyone must become part of the national effort to slow the coronavirus spread using social distancing. In the case of Y3K Tutor In Your Home, we continue to educate our students. Although during the coronavirus shutdown we are no longer to able to personally teach inside your home, we are still seeing all of our students with online tutoring. In many cases we are the ONLY educators left in that child or young adult’s life. The work of our staff is essential to those we serve. 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.

During this time of coronavirus (COVID-19) it is heartening to know that Y3K Tutor In Your Home never stops – never sleeps – and is always educating those students in our care.

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.
