"Tutoring Foundations" Curriculum

"Extremely helpful. I feel rejuvenated. This course gave me a chance to look at my tutoring business and clients with new eyes and I am already incorporating renewed methodologies."

"Very inspiring. I've learned a lot. I especially liked our study session on active listening, being able to pick up on key words and phrases and the culture shock section. A person doesn't have to be from another country to experience culture shock! This course has given me a whole new methodology for assessing our students and our staff tutors."

"Half the key to learning is motivation, and we can provide that by helping our students see how learning is helping them achieve a goal they have for themselves. That requires a specific skill in our ability to assess and to evaulate our students. The course was very constructive in that area, with case studies and scenarios. I enjoyed it."

"It is a useful class and I learned things. I thought the legal section was especially helpful for people who are setting up a tutoring business."

"The course content is excellent and covers all aspects of tutoring. Even classroom teachers who wish to tutor will benefit from the course, as one-on-one instruction requires some skills which are distinct from those called for in a group setting."

"I've been a teacher for 20 years and have a Masters in Special Education. I still found there was a lot of interesting information."

"As the founder of two high school peer-tutoring centers with over 8,000 annual sessions combined, I can emphatically state that the programs would not have been successful or effective without the training and resources available through NTA Certification. NTA Certification not only provides the essential skills necessary to prepare tutors to deliver individualized instruction in a variety of contexts, it also contributes greatly to the programs management, professionalism and ethical practices."

Assistant Principal, Jacobs High School

"I learned about the NTA years ago... and when I came here to Columbia College Chicago, I kept spreading the word about the NTA because I believe in this Association. Thanks to the workshops and conferences provided by the NTA, our program has a stronger foundation and direction."

Karen D. Royster-James

Director, Science and Math Learning Center (SMLC) at Columbia College, Chicago

"NTA Certification symbolizes unity and belonging to a community that has members with a common interest like the tutor...despite the experience an individual has in tutoring and administration... new situations may crop up that may need consultation with other professionals. NTA has more than 4000 members who can be reached for consultation and advice if need arises. Indeed belonging to NTA creates a sense of confidence and triumph in tutoring."
