Tutoring for Students

The SALT Center is recognized as a College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certified organization, which offers the International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC) to tutors for level one through three.

The purpose of ITTPC tutor education is twofold:

  1. It provides recognition and positive reinforcement of tutors' successful work from an international organization -- CRLA.
  2. ITTPC's tutor certification process sets an internationally accepted standard of skills and education for the SALT Center to certify its tutors.
     

Tutoring Philosophy

Tutors support students as they develop strategies specific to their needs and strengths. Tutors introduce students to a wide variety of methods, demonstrating how to use visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities to begin, develop, and refine their work. The goal is to create an optimal learning environment that facilitates independent and lifelong learning.
