Joining the NZTA

NZTA membership carries a certain responsibility. The letters ‘MNZTA’ indicate that a tutor or tutoring organisation is a member of the NZTA. Members can use the NZTA logo in advertising to promote the fact that they are members and uphold the high aspirations of the Association.

Membership means strict adherence to the NZTA Code of Conduct. The Code serves both as a guide to members, as well as protecting them. Upholding the Code of Conduct should ensure that there is consistence and predictability for the practitioners and their clients.

NZTA membership also gives members certain entitlements.
Such entitlements include:
Information about trends in education and tutoring in New Zealand

Investigation into the unscrupulous practices of non-members and complaints made by the NZTA to relevant regulatory bodies where appropriate

The opportunity to be involved in research to ‘map’ tutoring in New Zealand – its development, growth, benefits and value to mainstream education

Joining a network of like-minded professionals who aspire to accountable and responsible practices in education

Other benefits include:
The benefit of any lobbying the NZTA conducts on behalf of members

The benefit of a public profile due to the good reputation of the NZTA and its members

The benefit of a structured forum for the resolution of disputes, should they arise

The benefit of any in-servicing or courses on different aspects of tutoring, education and consumer protection that may be offered from time to time

The benefit of joining in open forums with respect to any legislation that affects, or is likely to affect what tutors and tutoring organisations do

The benefit of research done on the tutoring industry that informs best practice

The benefit of receiving news about the latest trends in educational research that is relevant to tutoring

In the event of an NZTA member not following the Code of Conduct then an investigation, which could lead to suspension and/or expulsion may follow.
