Part one · prep, handled
Walk in prepared. Skip the evening of prep.
PrepBox reads the student's last written work and hands you a working brief — where to start, what to watch for, what's queued next. The practice material is already built and mapped to the exact skill. You review for five minutes and teach.
The real Learning Plan button from the PrepBox tutor dashboard — one click prepares the whole session.
Still part one · ready to assign
Worksheets for the exact topic — not “Chapter 4.”
Pick the exact skill your student is stuck on — from 5,000+ topics — and the worksheet is ready. Assign it in one tap, with your name on it.
24 questions, easy to hard — the skill most Grade 9 factoring trouble starts from.

Start free — worksheets includedThe workspace under all three
A surface built for math — where you watch the pen think.
Zoom shows you a face. PrepBox shows you the working — the call, the board, and the marking in one surface. You talk, your student writes, and you see every stroke as it lands.
Part two · the training track
A room where tutors show their work.
Tutor groups online are full of advice about rates and no-shows. There is nowhere tutors actually practice the craft — the explanation itself. We're building that room, and it runs on one artifact: your strokes and voice, recorded together as a solve card.
Every week, one prompt: a problem a real student struggled with. Post your stroke-and-voice solve. The best get polished, featured, and a public page with your name on it.
Ask about a founding seatThe first cohort sets the tone: serious tutors who want to sharpen their teaching, shape the rituals, and certify free before the doors open. If that's you, say hello — a sentence about who you teach is plenty.
Part two · the milestone
A credential you earn with your pen and your voice.
Anyone can pass a quiz. PrepBox certification works the way real teaching interviews do: you demonstrate, on the whiteboard, out loud. Problems are drawn fresh from the topic graph for every candidate, and the work is assessed by educators against a published rubric — the same rubric the training track drills.
A randomized set of problems across your grade band, drawn from 5,000+ topics. You solve on the PrepBox whiteboard, explaining aloud as you write — strokes and voice recorded together.
Real anonymized student work — wrong answers included. Diagnose the misconception, then re-teach it the way you would in a live session. This is the round that separates solvers from teachers.
Certification feeds part three: it goes on every parent report, it's announced to your families, and it ranks you first in the upcoming Tutor Atlas.
Part three · we promote you
Happy parents don't refer on their own.
So we make the ask for you.
It's awkward to promote yourself and ask families for referrals. So PrepBox does it for you — professionally, and only when your student's progress backs it up.

The ask — made for you
Parents share your profile. Their friend starts with a free assessment — under your name.
— you never have to ask.Why our word is worth something
We never take a cut. That's what keeps our promotion honest.
Marketplaces promote whoever keeps paying the toll — 25–33% of every lesson, for as long as you teach that student. PrepBox charges a flat fee. When we tell a parent your teaching moved a student, it's because the marked work says so — we have nothing to earn by saying it.
And the toll you're not paying stays in your pocket:
When the marketplace TakeLessons shut down in November 2024, tutors who had built their whole client base inside it lost it overnight. On PrepBox your roster, parent contacts, and every session record are yours — exportable at any time, no questions.
