The Tutoring Center offers tutor training to promote expertise in tutoring services. The Tutoring Center was awarded Levels 1 & 2 International Tutor Training Certification from the College of Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). Millersville University’s Tutoring Center was commended as a “very strong comprehensive program that demonstrates clear evidence of a commitment to CRLA principles of training.” CRLA noted that Millersville’s program operates in a unique manner by “inviting” certified tutors to continue to work toward higher levels of certification. This “invitation only” aspect insures that only those truly interested will continue to earn higher levels of certification. Millersville’s program stresses critical thinking skills and has documented improved results on the part of the students who are tutored by tutors trained in critical thinking skills.
