How do I complete a certification?
Different organizations have different requirements for becoming a certified tutor. At Schoolhouse.world, we allow you to tutor a variety of subjects by demonstrating your knowledge. This process involves video-recording yourselves taking a cumulative or unit-based assessment directly on Khan Academy and explaining your reasoning for the questions.
After recording your own video, you'll peer review two videos from other students who are also trying to earn a certification on Schoolhouse. If the certification is approved, you'll then receive training before hosting your first tutoring session.
To tutor topics in our SAT® Prep and Bootcamp subworlds, we currently offer honorary certifications through a form-based application process where you state any relevant qualifications (such as your SAT score!). We also offer honorary certifications to tutors who submit an AP exam score of a 4 or 5 in the relevant subject. You can submit your AP and SAT scores on the "Certify" tab in the appropriate subworld. These requests are reviewed by a small team of trusted volunteers.
