A teaching credential is designed to make you a great teacher, but not necessarily a great tutor. There
are some profound differences between teaching and tutoring, and tutor certification is the only way to
master the art of tutoring.
Various tutor certifying organizations with a concentration on the art of "tutoring" (one-to-one and small
group instruction vs. classroom teaching) offer training and certification to tutors. These are usually

The College Reading and Learning Association is an accrediting agency for college courses in tutoring.
It does not offer tutor training, but regulates accredited tutor training programs.
Finally, many learning centers have their own training and certification requirements.
