Bay Area Tutoring Association Certification ProgramOur certified tutors transform students. As California continues into the era of Common Core State Standards, the demand for tutoring is increasing dramatically. Success of Common Core State Standards will require more than new books, technology, strategies and curriculum. Common Core State Standards success will require additional student and teacher support. There will be a needed increase in academic time. There will also be a significant decrease in the number of parents who are able to support their children academically. (Download More Information)
