" “TPAPT has been a big help in helping us recruit top notch talent. I am grateful to them and reach out whenever I’m hiring.” "
-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.
"“We asked TPAPT to help our company expand our test prep programs. We were impressed with their professionalism and expertise. The team was diligent in learning our current market and processes and proposed a plan that has kept us growing.” "
-Yolanda Fontanez-Coleman, President/Founder, Team Tutor, LLC.
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.
