SAT & ACT Tutor Training and Certification
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 Certification takes each tutor through a rigorous and standardized SAT and/or ACT training program. This is an asynchronous training with a synchronous certification meeting.

Now my company has sixteen employees and is growing in a highly competitive region.” "
