We love helping tutors learn to tutor the SAT and the ACT!
Great test prep tutors are made, not born. With solid lesson plans and strong grounding in the test material, tutors are able to carefully and meaningfully guide their students to understanding and mastery. We believe all tutors have the capacity to help students succeed and our standards-based SAT/ACT tutor training lends itself to that process.
Our SAT/ACT Training takes each tutor through a rigorous and standardized SAT and/or ACT instructor training program.
TPAPT certification includes a micro-credential, a tutoring profile and access to our network of over 14,000 tutoring employers.

TPAPT chapters can be found under 'Tutors' in the main menu and we provide them as much support as we can muster.
In order to become a chapter, applicants must demonstrate a commitment to student outcomes, have no unresolved BBB complaints, and undergo a short "best practice" audit.
Chapters must also agree to follow our Code of Professional Ethics.
