Tutor training and credentialing

Build skills for high-impact support for student learning

ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation, Step Up Tutoring and Annenberg Learner partnered to launch a series of nanocourses and the first official micro-credential for the high-impact tutoring field. These resources are designed to equip tutors with the knowledge and skills necessary to help students learn and succeed.

Hosted on the ASU Community Educator Learning Hub, more than 4,500 tutors across the country enrolled in these training resources during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years, thanks to the generous support of Annenberg Learner. As a result, tens of thousands of young people have benefited from the support of well-prepared tutors.

The partnership exceeded its open enrollment goals, serving more than 4,500 tutors nationwide. Keep reading to learn how to subscribe to the resources and explore additional tutoring opportunities.
