Proud member.

Everything on the list below is what sets me apart from everyone else in the Memphis area and beyond— particularly the ongoing professional development to stay current on recent test development.

Professional test prep providers share more than subject expertise. They stay engaged as exams evolve, think carefully about ethical practice, and value thoughtful dialogue with peers who care about strengthening the profession.

Supporting that kind of work is what the NTPA community is built around; ongoing programming, industry conversations, and connection with providers who take the field seriously.

Each year, these conversations continue in person at the NTPA Annual Conference. This June, we’ll gather again in Chicago on June 15–16.

If you have a junior who is just now going to be taking the ACT for the first time, you want to choose April 11 because that is a MAK test, meaning you can purchase the student’s test key/results with a copy of the test. This is hugely helpful for test prep and making larger increases on the next ACT test.

For a long time, struggling readers were described as unmotivated, inattentive, or not trying hard enough.

But many of these students are actually working harder than anyone else in the room.

When reading doesn’t become automatic, every sentence is effort. Every page is exhausting. And no amount of encouragement or independent reading fixes skills that were never explicitly taught.

Dyslexia is a difficulty with accurate and automatic word reading and spelling. It is a language based learning difference that requires explicit, systematic instruction.

When we teach the structure of language clearly, students don’t just improve, they finally access learning the way it was meant to feel.

If you’re an educator or a parent, please share. The conversation has to move from motivation to instruction.
