University of Pikeville’s Academic and Cultural Enrichment’s (ACE) peer tutoring program recently received International Tutor Training Program Certification from College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). CRLA provides national certification for tutoring and mentoring programs.
The ACE program at UPIKE serves as a valuable resource on campus for student support. In addition to providing academic tutoring and helping students develop study skills, the program also prepares students for life after graduation with interview training, resume writing and post-graduation planning services.
Certification for peer tutoring helps the program set professional standards for skills and training with participating students and allows UPIKE ACE the opportunity to join more than 1,000 other higher education tutoring programs with this distinction.
ACE Program Development Coordinator Mary Ann Sisco said the process for earning certification was both rigorous and rewarding.
“We have been training our peer tutors since 2001,” said Sisco, “so having an organization like CRLA validate the hard work put into ACE at UPIKE is an honor. We are excited to provide this certification for our peer tutors, which will assist them in their professional growth and experience.”
