Premier Tutoring and Test Prep
Take a moment. Think about the most carefree day you’ve ever had and put yourself there. Maybe you’re outside reading? Relaxing with friends? The sun is shining. The birds are singing. Ah, you take a deep breath … then …
WAM.
Someone smacks a piece of paper in front of you, tells you to answer every single question on it before a timer runs out, and then says that how you score on this piece of paper will determine the course of the rest of your life. Go.
About 450 colleges offer early admission plans. Under these plans, students can apply to colleges early — well before the usual deadline — and get a decision from the college by January. It’s pretty nice when students are able to say, halfway through their senior year, where they’ll be going to school in the fall!
Yale is making some changes to the prompt for its freshman application. While high school students applying to the elite US university were previously given free rein on its secondary essay requirement (“Reflect on something you would like us to know about you”), applicants this year will face a set of newly specific questions.
At Biltmore Tutoring, we do lots of private tutoring and test prep. However, we have also had great success with our small group test prep classes (in fact, some of our largest score increases came from class students, and especially ones who combined a class with a few private lessons to tune up with material that they needed a little one-on-one help with). Biltmore Tutoring’s SAT and ACT classes are affordable, effective, and allow students to prepare for their exams over a span of five Saturdays or five Sundays. All books, practice materials, access to all of our incredibly effective test prep strategies, master’s degree instruction, the use of our student response system, and two free practice tests are included!
Class dates and types for the Fall of 2016 are listed below.

Low- and middle-income students would pay nothing for tuition at in-state public colleges under a new part of her free college tuition plan. Any student whose family earns $85,000 or less would be eligible at first. The income level would go up by $10,000 each year until 2021, when anyone whose family makes $125,000 a year or less would go tuition-free.
What could this mean for your student? There is the possibility of free tuition. There is also the likelihood of fierce competition for spots at both public and private universities.
