You may know PrepNorthwest as the most student and family focused test preparation center in the Puget Sound area. Did you also know that our internal mission is to nurture and advance the best teachers in the State of Washington?
Working at PrepNW gave me the skills to not only become comfortable with teaching tests, but to understanding how to teach them in a way that benefits the student throughout their journey as a learner. Plus, the positive and encouraging work environment and one-on-one setup at PrepNW supported me in learning how to build meaningful relationships with students, which is most invaluable in my teaching career.

Working at PrepNorthwest inspired me to become a teacher, and gave me the skills I needed to succeed. I got practical experience, helpful feedback, and constant support as I developed the key teaching skills - like delivering lessons, adapting and improvising, and building rapport with students - that I now use every day in my classroom.

Working at PrepNorthwest not only helped to develop my teaching skills but built my confidence in them as well. I remember a time early on when I fell flat on my face and I lost all confidence in myself. Terry and Molly at PrepNorthwest saw my potential and didn't give up on me, but instead refocused my training and built me back up. The teacher skills I learned from PrepNorthwest are invaluable. I continue to use the techniques I learned in my classroom daily to help students at all levels.
