Welcome to the National Tutoring Association!
-----------------
The oldest and largest professional association dedicated exclusively to ​
​Tutoring and Academic Coaching.

The NTA condemns racism and injustice, and we stand beside all those affected by the recent senseless violence in our country.  We must work with honest endeavor and open hearts to come together and treat each other with respect, empathy, and dignity.  Every individual in this country deserves no less, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, color, or national heritage. In tutoring and academic coaching, we will continue to work diligently toward an attitude of systemic cultural change so that every student receives the full benefit of a positive education experience.  To the brave officers and first responders who go to work every day to protect us and treat everyone as human beings without judging them for differences, we thank you.
​
​The NTA is proud to announce the release of its newest webinar "Best Practices for Test Prep Tutoring for the SAT & ACT." Facilitated by the
​NTA's Special Media Liaison for Small Business Executive Board Member Teresa Lubovich, this webinar will help prospective tutors understand the content covered in both the SAT and ACT, how to help families decide which test to take, common pitfalls, scoring details, grade level of content, timing issues, and proven strategies, delivered with an holistic approach. ​

​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 face-to-face, and through live and recorded webinars. We also offer training at our professional development conferences 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, mentoring, academic coaching, and support research into the 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, mentors, trainers, and academic coaches.

NTA Certification is designed to be earned at the individual or program level. Members represent colleges, universities, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, school districts, literacy programs, community programs, faith-based programs, grant supported programs, and NCLB/SES providers.

Tutor Strategy of the Week

Picture
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.
Connections, Connections, Connections: Make sure that you are able to connect the content to the student’s life.
Inform the student of when and why he or she will use the content.
