Why Train with Zinc?

Zinc’s pedagogy sets us apart. We know that with effective test prep, any student can get a perfect score. How? We train our tutors to be effective coaches and empower their students to attack both content and method challenges by leveling up on L.E.A.R.N.

L.E.A.R.N. is Zinc’s secret weapon. We get results by helping students cultivate the core L.E.A.R.N. competencies: Love, Effort, Attention, Reading, and Numbers. Test prep offers a unique opportunity to foster a true Love-based approach to learning and life, harness love to persistent Effort, cultivate the best approach to sustain Attention, improve Reading comprehension, and confirm or expand facility with Numbers.

Take this course if you’re interested in test prep that’s more than…
  • a bunch of “tips” and “tricks”
  • just teaching content
  • boring, rote learning
  • assigning practice tests and going over them

The Course

The tutor training course will be taught by one of Zinc’s senior mentor tutors.

Throughout the span of the 14-week course you’ll learn how to apply Zinc’s pedagogy. You’ll meet with your cohort once a week on Zoom for 2-hour class sessions, and then keep the conversation going between sessions on our online platform. You’ll have homework assigned every week, and plenty of opportunities to put what you’re learning into practice through roleplays with other students as well as recording actual sessions with a real SAT or ACT student.
