Jennifer, We run a conference style training program for all of our employees (around 80) every semester. I would be happy to discuss this with you. Please contact me offline.

Until recently, I very much doubted the possibility of this ever coming to fruition. As of the past 1-2 years, I have extra help in the form of "Senior" tutors as well as an additional professional staff member; I am starting to think that this may be feasible to execute next August. Do any other centers offer a similar training? We will have around 80-90 tutors participating, with some of those leading the breakout sessions. I would love more information on how other programs facilitate this kind of training. Thanks in advance! Jennifer *Jennifer L.
