General Training Information

The National Tutoring Association (NTA) is internationally respected as a training provider for tutors, trainers, mentors, and academic coaches. Each training is created to meet the needs of your unique staff and student population. Conducted on your campus, all NTA Training workshops are comprehensive and collaborative.

Professional training is an integral part of professional tutoring, coaching, and staff training. It is incumbent upon everyone active in student support to stay abreast of the current methods and techniques available and to familiarize oneself with the new information that is readily available. Sharing your knowledge and expertise as a trainer is important for all of us.

On-site NTA Tutor Training

Invite a Certified NTA Master Tutor Trainer to your campus or organization to train your tutors and staff face-to face. Training includes workbooks and certification. Contact Dr. Lucy Lapekas NTA National Training Director, or call 863-838-3558 for details, fees, and date availability.

Online Training for Tutors, Academic Coaches, & Mentors

Easier Path to Training and Certification

The NTA incorporates the most economical and convenient choices anywhere for tutor, mentor, and academic coach training, assessment, and certification. As an alternative to on-site training, the most efficient, effective online training method is available through NTA live and recorded Webinars. This self-paced, mastery-based curriculum is supervised by NTA certified master trainers and was developed and approved by the NTA. Successful course completion satisfies the academic requirements for NTA certification at the Basic through Advanced Tutor, Academic Coach, Mentor, and Tutor Trainer levels.

Train-the-Trainer/Classroom Workbooks/Certification

The NTA provides a path to individual certification via Recorded Webinar tutor training conducted by your own staff after successful completion of the NTA Becoming A Tutor Trainer Webinar series (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Trainer level Webinars taken in sequence).

Begins with Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced curriculum study from the trainer’s perspective.

Is followed by the integrative capstone which includes classroom techniques, leadership, development of your tutor community of practice, and more.

May be optionally extended with the Mentoring and Academic Coaching training to allow use of workbooks for that curriculum.
