Title Options
- We Just Made History in Professional Tutoring
- The First University-Backed Tutor Training Program
- Tutoring Just Became a Real Profession
A milestone I have been working toward for years finally wrapped last week.
I just finished teaching the inaugural cohort of the Professional Tutoring Program at Columbia University.
This is the first university-backed professional tutor training program in the United States.
The Problem
Tutoring has existed since Aristotle taught Alexander the Great.
Yet it is still treated like gig work.
That never sat right with me.
The Solution
This program changes that.
It gives tutors real tools, real standards, and real credibility.
It is built for people who love teaching and want tutoring to be a craft, not just a side hustle.
The Experience
Seeing this first cohort come through was surreal.
It felt like watching the profession step into a new era.
And it got renewed for January.
Conclusion
After years of work, I am proud to have launched the first university-backed professional tutor training program in the United States at Columbia University. This program elevates tutoring from gig work to a true craft with real standards and credibility. The profession is stepping into a new era.
