All Next Level instructors have relevant experience and demonstrated proficiency in the subjects they teach. Each holds at least a bachelor’s degree—many have advanced degrees or are currently enrolled in graduate programs. More importantly, every instructor receives formal training and ongoing supervision from our team of directors to ensure quality, consistency, and growth. They only teach subjects for which they are highly qualified.

Some parents ask whether our instructors are “certified teachers.” While a few are, certification isn’t a requirement at Next Level. Why? Because certification programs are designed for traditional classrooms—not the dynamic, responsive nature of one-on-one learning. In tutoring, lecture-based methods simply don’t work. That’s why our instructors are trained in Socratic methods that encourage dialogue, discovery, and independent thinking.

Unlike traditional teachers who often specialize narrowly, our instructors are typically experts in multiple subjects and skilled at adapting to each student’s unique learning style and evolving needs. One-on-one tutoring is a distinctive kind of scholarship—one that rewards interpersonal insight, intellectual flexibility, and the ability to observe and respond in real time. Active listening, keen observation, and meaningful interaction are essential to our success—and not everyone is cut out for it.

Our training program emphasizes strategies refined over decades of experience and proven to be effective in one-on-one teaching. Our instructors meet each student where they are—not where a curriculum says they should be—so we can help them get where they want to go.
