NTA's 23rd Professional Development Conference
Students today face a host of challenges. Whether it's the transition from high school to college, overcoming socio-economic challenges, or engagement with course material, the bridge between student and objective is often broad and bewildering. The NTA's 23rd Professional Development Conference will focus on bridging the gap between the student and the tutor, between the student and the materials, and, ultimately, between the student and success. We hope you join us in April 2018 for this event - the biggest and best NTA conference to date!
Call for Proposals
The Officers, Board of Directors, and Members of the National Tutoring Association invite you to submit proposals for our 23rd Annual Conference. We ask you to join your colleagues in an exchange of ideas and expertise in tutoring. We welcome proposals that expand the discipline in all areas regarding: recruiting, training, and retaining tutors; current trends in practice and research (STEM and STEAM); use of technology; understanding the law; tutoring special populations; online tutoring; grant writing; learning preferences; improving tutorial leadership for directors and coordinators; conflict management; building and marketing private or community programs; basic nuts and bolts of tutoring; and motivating students.
More information can be found on our conference pages.

The Inimitable José Feliciano to Perform on Conference Opening Night!
The NTA's board of directors is proud to announce that the one and only José Feliciano will entertain NTA members on the opening night of the 23rd Semi-Annual Professional Development Conference! Mr. Feliciano will perform three sets (with a couple surprises). Between sets, Mr. Feliciano will speak about his life. After his performance, he will spend time signing autographs and taking photographs with members.
Latin pop singer José Feliciano was born in September 1945 in Lares, Puerto Rico. Blind from birth, he and his family moved to New York in the early 1950s, where he began studying accordion, guitar, and voice.
By the early 1960s, Mr. Feliciano was a popular Greenwich Village coffeehouse performer and soon landed a deal with RCA Records, issuing a string of popular Latin influenced folk pop albums sung in both English and Spanish. His best known, most popular singles include a 1968 cover of the Doors’ single Light My Fire, a version of Tommy Tucker’s Hi Heel Sneakers, the theme song to the ’70s TV show Chico and the Man, and the Spanish English Christmas tune Feliz Navidad. He released his most recent record, Senor Bolero II, in 2003.
Constantly touring and recording since the 1960s, Mr. Feliciano remains popular worldwide and has received over 40 gold and platinum albums to date. Mr. Feliciano earned his sixth Grammy Award in 1991 and is the only performer who has won pop music awards in two language categories. Other honors include: The Alma Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2000, Artist of the Millennium Award presented by Premios Globos, and performing at the 75th Annual “Pageant of Peace” Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington, D.C. with a reception at the White House afterwards.
Mr. Feliciano and his wife, Susan, have been together since 1971 and live in a 270 year old colonial home in Connecticut. In 1988 they were blessed with a daughter, Melissa Anne, and in 1991 with their first son, Jonathan José. In 1995, José and Susan had their third child, Michael Julian. Mr. Feliciano‘s passions include writing and recording in his studio, baseball, and being a dad.

Louis Gossett Jr. to Speak at 2018 Conference!
His voice is distinct and he commands the screen with quiet authority. As one of the most respected African American actors, Louis Gossett Jr. has established a highly honored career in film, on television, and the stage. A triple threat talent armed with an Emmy for Roots, an Oscar for Officer and a Gentleman, and a Golden Globe for The Josephine Baker Story, Gossett has soared into the upper echelons of Hollywood’s elite actors.
As an impassioned activist, Gossett firmly believes in giving back to the community by empowering all races and cultures. His passion stems from a number of difficult experiences he has faced, including a personal battle with addiction and recovery. As Founder of Eracism Foundation, he focuses on eradicating racism and social ignorance while planting the positive seeds of tolerance and cultural awareness with children. He believes that if we treat our children as our primary commodity in sustaining the future, we will move towards a more unified world.
Charismatic and engaging, Gossett tells the truth on how we can enrich ourselves and teach our children, one generation at a time, how to live a better life stating, “One mentality cannot run the world anymore, we need to communicate with each other without resorting to violence to create peace, care for our planet, and encourage the cooperation between races, religions, and communities.”
Please note that a very limited number of Mr. Gossett's books will available for sale at the conference. We strongly suggest that you order your book prior to the event and bring it with you for Mr. Gossett to personally autograph for you. http://www.eracismfoundation.org/product-category/books/

NTA Certified Tutor Starts Business and Wins Award
High school senior Peter Walter, 18, nearly dropped out of high school due to academic and anxiety issues. Understanding that he needed help, Peter reached out to his school’s administration and found the help that he needed. Further, he trained with the NTA and is now a Certified Intermediate Tutor. Seeing the value that tutoring brings, Peter decided to start a tutoring company named UpperClassman, and he has committed to training and certifying every tutor he works with to a minimum of the NTA Basic Level Tutor. Peter is carefully tracking along to become a NTA Certified Tutor Trainer. UpperClassman was among 36 businesses (out of 600 applications) to be honored in April during the 2017 New Jersey Business Idea Competition Awards Ceremony. Peter was awarded a finalist and was invited to speak about UpperClassman to the audience.
Testimonials on UpperClassman:

~Our experience with UpperClassman has changed the way my son looks at tutoring. Having someone who is similar in age creates an atmosphere that has been very conducive to learning. My son looks up to his tutor Peter and Has gained confidence from working with an upperclassman rooting him on. I would recommend you give UpperClassman a try.
Stefanie Angeli Westfield Mother of Three |
~Since I have used UpperClassman.org homework time had become a more peaceful and organized . My son,age 9, looks forward to working with his tutor. Peter is fun,responsible,resourceful, and smart. UpperClassman has truly made learning fun for my son!
Bonnie C Westfield Mother of Five |
~Gerry has struggled this year adjusting to middle school. And he said “ mom I think I finally get it. It took me this long!” He really enjoyed you coming (and said he was glad it wasn’t with an old person!). He was apprehensive because mom telling him what to do stinks. He wasn’t sure what to expect. You really elevated his confidence in himself. And he took your tips very seriously. In a good way. He got a lot out of your session and told me he was happy that you came. His confidence has been an issue this year. Challenging with all of middle school stuff.
You were great with him. So thank you for that!

Train and Certify Through the NTA.
The National Tutoring Association is the oldest and largest association dedicated solely to the advancement of tutors. The NTA is the only association in the United States equipped to provide tutor training both face-to-face and through live webinars. We also offer training at our professional development conferences held every two years in Tampa, FL, as well as at regional events. NTA trained and certified tutors take away a certification that is something of their own, a certificate that holds real meaning for them and future employers. The NTA trains and certifies more tutors and trainers than any other association. Experience the difference. Train and certify through the NTA!
Our Mission is to foster the advancement of professional and peer tutoring and academic coaching, support research into best practices and standards for all tutors, support tutor training, advocate for tutor certification, and uphold the NTA Code of Ethics. As such we are not a private tutorial agency and we do not accept students for tutorial study. The NTA is not a sanctioning or arbitration agency.
We welcome you to join our growing membership of peer, paraprofessional, professional, volunteer, and private practice tutors, trainers and academic coaches.

Tutor Strategy of the Week
This icon that you see in the upper righthand corner of our home page is a link to an important NTA resource. We continuously ask our tutors, tutor trainers, academic coaches, and board members to share their most successful strategies in tutoring. Some may be tried and true strategies, and utilized since the days of Socrates. Other strategies may have evolved over time, especially with our ever-changing world of technology and communication. Still, other strategies may just be what one tutor did in order to make that connection with his or her tutee. You don't need to be a member of the NTA to enjoy these strategies; they are there for all tutors to utilize. Our strategy of the week is updated, usually, on Wednesday morning. That's a great time to drop on by the NTA website and check out what's going on, get a fresh tutoring strategy, and perhaps even take a webinar course. A recent strategy of the week - below - was sent in by NTA Board Member Stephanie Dunaiff, who also presents a wonderful webinar on Private Practitioner Certification. We hope you enjoy her strategy. Find more at our Past Tutor Strategies page.

The NTA's Commitment and Pledge to Community Service
Recently, while attending a conference in Baltimore, our own Dr. Lucy Lapekas and Brandy Daingerfield participated in a Community Service Project. They and many other business leaders packed over 1,000 bags with toiletry items to give out to Baltimore's homeless veterans.
The National Tutoring Association prides itself on giving back to the community, but we need your help, too. We have committed to sending care packages to our trrops in the Middle East. We have two more packages going out soon! Please help us by donating (see our needed items list below in the One Voice Campaign post or you can send money, too, and we'll buy the items in your name).

The NTA's "One Voice" Campaign Continually Needs Your Help!
The NTA added a new initiative to our challenges for 2015 through 2017. We have been preparing care packages for nominated active duty US airmen stationed in the Middle East and so far we have sent over 100 packages! But our donation bins are close to becoming bare! We encourage your tutors, coaches, and staff to make a donation to our military campaign so we can restock with needed items for sending care packages to our airmen for the holidays. We particularly need:
Disposable razors for men, Chapstick, bar soap, toothpaste, body powder, mens' socks, Listerine strips, toothbrushes, floss picks, and stick deodorant. Please do not send chocolate or small bags of chips or crackers as they tend to get smashed in shipping. Notes of thanks and holiday wishes are encouraged.
These brave airmen like anything that reminds them of home, or things they cannot get from their base exchange (a trailer that sells basic supplies). Examples include: Beef jerky, snacks, peanuts/almonds/pistachios, t-shirts, toiletries, games, journals, calling cards, black gloves, coffee, cd's, TV show DVDs, iTunes cards, travel mugs, small fans, sunscreen, towels, twin size sheet sets, twin size bed-in-a-bag, pillows, black back-packs, colored leaves from trees, pens, stationary, lotion, air freshener, brushes, combs, hair-cutting scissors, chap stick, white socks, small alarm clocks, hot sauce, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer, baby powder, small cheap DVD players, inexpensive CD players, sunglasses, water guns, flavor packets from fast food restaurants (i.e. Taco Bell hot sauce, Arby’s sauce, etc.), birthday or holiday decorations, cards and letters, and/or magazines/books.
* Please - no pornography or alcoholic beverages.
So, start collecting and send your donations to:
The National Tutoring Association (One Voice)
PO Box 6840
Lakeland, FL 33807

Packages like these maybe some of the only ones they receive during their time away. Thank you for all you do!"

New Recorded Closed-Captioned Webinars Available!
The National Tutoring Association is proud to announce several projects that have been brought to fruition over the summer that will assist in training our tutors and academic coaches toward certification, thereby assisting these teams to better serve their student populations.
We are excited to announce that our webinar training team, led by our Communications Director, Pete Conrad, has achieved our goal of finding an efficient and cost effective way of closed-captioning our eight main tutor and academic coach training webinars. Once again, the NTA has taken the lead in providing a service that no other association provides. The first webinars with closed-captioning are our newly-revised Basic Academic and Advanced Coaching sessions facilitated by our own National Training Director, Ishmael Brown.
Closed captions, or subtitles, are not only for the hearing impaired. Viewers with ESL benefit by being able to follow along with the closed captioned speech. Closed captioning can also help to maintain concentration and focus on the material, which translates into higher engagement. Finally, closed captions are great for those sound-intensive and -sensitive offices and libraries. Soon, all of the NTA's webinars will be offered with closed captioning!
We are excited to announce that our webinar training team, led by our Communications Director, Pete Conrad, has achieved our goal of finding an efficient and cost effective way of closed-captioning our eight main tutor and academic coach training webinars. Once again, the NTA has taken the lead in providing a service that no other association provides. The first webinars with closed-captioning are our newly-revised Basic Academic and Advanced Coaching sessions facilitated by our own National Training Director, Ishmael Brown.
Closed captions, or subtitles, are not only for the hearing impaired. Viewers with ESL benefit by being able to follow along with the closed captioned speech. Closed captioning can also help to maintain concentration and focus on the material, which translates into higher engagement. Finally, closed captions are great for those sound-intensive and -sensitive offices and libraries. Soon, all of the NTA's webinars will be offered with closed captioning!
