We're a national consortium of independent test prep and tutoring professionals.
The Association of Test Preparation, Admissions, and Private Tutoring is an association of independent, locally owned test prep, tutoring, and college admissions programs.
Our community is collegial and generous and for over a decade our mission has been to help local owner-operators and independent tutors thrive.
If you are passionate about helping others learn, have a bit of an entrepreneurial bent, and believe in the transformative power of independent education, join us!

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 a strong grounding in the test material, tutors learn to carefully and meaningfully guide their students to understanding.
We believe all tutors have the capacity to help students succeed and our standards-based SAT/ACT tutor training lends itself to that process.

" TPAPT has been a big help in helping us recruit top notch talent. I am grateful to them. "
-Nitin Sawhney, Principal, Vice President, Marks Education Group, LLC
"“Eight years ago, I was an individual tutor looking to expand my business beyond myself but with little idea how to do so. Luckily, I found Kevin and TPAPT right at that time. TPAPT helped me develop paperwork and procedures, manage hiring, develop a marketing strategy, and connect with other test prep and education professionals who could help me grow and improve my business. Now my company has sixteen employees and is growing in a highly competitive region.” "
-Ben Sexton, Founder, Sexton Test Prep & Tutoring.
