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.

"“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.” "

We believe in the power of an educational meritocracy and, although current tools such as the SAT & ACT may be flawed, the solution should not be to lower the bar of educational standards.
Instead, we just think everyone should have universal access to quality test preparation and tutoring.
To that end, one of our resident experts, Mr. C, covers all sections of the SAT through 40 Video Lessons and 2 Tests.
Take a diagnostic test, review your results, then watch the lessons as often as you need. This course is available in multiple languages. Sign up for immediate access!
