West Point Tutor Certification
West Point Tutor Certification
Often times we think that the "smartest” cadets are the most qualified to be a tutor. This is not the case! Tutors have an important role in helping others, and it is important to refine their strategies so that cadets feel prepared. The revamped West Point Tutor training effectively reviews best practices, scenarios, and teaching strategies to better serve both the tutors and the corps. Earning this certification is an awesome way to refine your strategies and ensure we all beat the Dean.
