The Teaching Standard of Excellence
Yes, the standardized test tutoring and college admissions field is rather an unregulated field. But it gets worse than that. Many tutors are able to attract clients due to an Ivy League college degree, but whether they can keep them is another matter. Exam-day performance and ultimate college/graduate school admission results are the aftermath of a wide variety of factors, and cannot be predicted ahead of time, but no matter the exact conditions governing the situation, there is always space for an appeal to professional integrity.
Just because you have an Ivy League degree and maybe received a perfect (or close to perfect) score on the standardized tests themselves does not mean that you are a good teacher.
