Biltmore Tutoring

Buncombe County Commissioners voted Wednesday, August 18, during a special-called meeting to reinstate a mask mandate in the county. Masks will be required indoors at all publicly accessible facilities, including businesses and restaurants, effective immediately.

At Biltmore Tutoring, all of our tutors and staff have been vaccinated, and we will be following the county’s guidelines during this surge in coronavirus cases. To that end, all of our tutors will be wearing masks and we ask that our students do the same when they meet with their tutors. Face coverings will be provided for students who forget theirs. Wearing a face covering is a very simple step that we can take to protect one another during this public health crisis, and at Biltmore Tutoring we are more than happy to do our part.

But have you ever thought about those other 1196 colleges and universities on the list?

Many test-preparation professionals would agree that certain test-optional policies are immensely beneficial and are needed. However, when talking with many parents and students, there is a lot of confusion about what “test-optional” actually means. Sadly, I think that, in the current pandemic landscape, it is causing students and parents to make questionable decisions about test preparation.

First off, though, to explain why test-optional is not a silver bullet, we need to get some basic facts out of the way.
