At the Masterpiece Academy, we understand the challenges schools and districts face in improving literacy outcomes. Reading scores nationwide have stagnated, and many tutors and educators don’t have the tools or training to bridge the literacy gap. This is where our Literacy Tutor Certification and Professional Development Program comes in. It offers a comprehensive, evidence-based solution for schools and districts to empower their tutors with the skills they need to raise reading levels and close literacy gaps.

A Growing Problem for Schools and Districts

You’re not alone if your district is facing challenges with reading proficiency. The demands on teachers and tutors to deliver results are high, but many are missing the structured, research-backed training required to make a lasting impact on students’ literacy skills. The lack of consistent, high-quality training means that struggling readers continue to fall behind. Schools are under increasing pressure to improve reading outcomes, but it's hard to see real change without the right resources.

A Solution Rooted in Research-Based Learning

Our Literacy Tutor Certification and Professional Development Program is based on the Science of Reading, a proven framework that integrates phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing instruction. We’ve built a program that takes these critical elements and delivers them in a way that is practical, easy to follow, and tailored for tutors working in schools and districts. Whether you’re working with early readers or helping older students catch up, our program equips tutors with the tools they need to make a difference.

How It Works

We offer a step-by-step certification process that is designed to ensure success:

1. Enroll Your Tutors: Whether you’re looking to certify tutors across your district or in an after-school program, the first step is simple. Sign your tutors up, and they will begin working through our self-paced online modules.

2. Learn and Apply: Throughout the 16-week program, tutors will engage in hands-on learning that covers everything from phonemic awareness and phonics to comprehension strategies. Our modules are designed to be interactive and practical, giving tutors real-life teaching scenarios they can use immediately in the classroom.

3. Receive Coaching and Feedback: What sets our program apart is the personalized coaching that each tutor receives. Through regular video submissions and feedback sessions, tutors can refine their skills and ensure they deliver the best possible instruction.
