Will sessions be recorded?

Yes! All registrants will receive access to the workshop recordings for which they have registered! Usually, within 72 hours of the last session.

I am new to tutoring...is this for me?

Absolutely. Our presenters almost to a person, started out as tutor-operators, became elite tutors, and now help coach folks just starting out. Their best practices will resonate!

How do I redeem one of the "special offers" from your sponsors?

We'll share a link with TPAPT exclusives.

Is there any material to prepare in advance?

Great question! Generally, no, but occasionally, yes. If there is pre-work, we will send it out with plenty of time to complete it.

About this event

Business • Educators

Welcome to our 11th annual continuing education conference for tutors, IECs, and test prep professionals! This year we will spend a good deal of time focusing on the impact of AI on tutoring academics, operations, and marketing and take a deep dive into the latest on SAT/ACT testing and academic bests.

We're happy you found us and we're excited about this year's line-up!

What is being covered this year?

Where do we even start?! Disruption came in the form of changes to DOE federal funding (the school business), test changes to the SAT and ACT admissions tests, and improvements to AI Search and AI Augmentation tools. Any one of these things would qualify as a major disruptor so we expect this year's conference to be the most consequential one to date.

How are things organized?

We'll have 10, one-hour workshops over the course of two days: December 11th - December 12th. Workshops take place between 11am ET and 5pm ET. Each workshop has a Q & A and attendees can submit questions in advance for the Q & A. Here's more:

Individual workshops are $35 or you can sign up for the full conference for $200.
All registrants will receive whatever "swag" our sponsors provide.
As always, we'll share the work-shop recordings the week after the conference.
There is specific detail about each workshop session and our awesome presenters below.

Who attends these things anyhow?

Our members are people like you! We have over 17,000 members who fall into 4 main categories:

Individual, independent tutors with an interest in becoming a better tutor
Tutor-Operators generally looking to grow the business
Independent Educational Consultants who specialize in college planning and, often, test prep
Entrepreneurs/VC, Ed-tech, Supplemental Education administrators

We hope you can join us for one or more sessions but if you cannot, don't stress, all registrants receive the web recordings as well as the conference swag!

Kind regards,

-TPAPT

* Topics /speakers may change and new topics may be added
