Founded by an experienced lineman and educator who's spent over a decade watching talented apprentices fail—not because they couldn't do the work, but because they lacked the right support.
Too many talented lineman apprentices fail out of their programs—not because they can't do the work, but because they struggle with the bookwork and testing side of the apprenticeship without adequate support.
As an instructor for a major lineman apprenticeship program, I've watched this happen year after year. Apprentices do most of their bookwork alone, without an instructor available to answer questions when they're stuck. They fall behind, lose confidence, and eventually fail out of a career that could have changed their lives.
Skilled Trades Tutor was created to change that. We connect struggling apprentices with experienced journeymen who provide the 1-on-1 support they need to succeed—whether that's quick help on a tough concept or comprehensive mentoring throughout their entire program.
To ensure that no qualified apprentice fails out of their program due to lack of support. We believe every motivated apprentice deserves access to expert tutoring that helps them succeed.
We're building a platform that makes it easy for apprentices to get help and for experienced journeymen to share their knowledge—creating a community where the next generation of linemen can thrive.
We understand the trades because we live them every day.
Our tutors aren't academic instructors—they're working journeymen with decades in the field who know exactly what apprentices face.
We've been teaching lineman apprentices for over a decade. We know what works and what doesn't.
Our goal isn't just to tutor—it's to help apprentices pass their tests, complete their programs, and launch successful careers.
Remote sessions mean apprentices can get help from anywhere, on their schedule, without adding another commute to their day.
Becoming a journeyman lineman changes lives. It's a career that provides good pay, job security, and the pride of working in a skilled trade. But too many talented people never make it because they don't have the support they need during their apprenticeship.
I've seen apprentices who were failing their theory classes turn everything around with just a few tutoring sessions. I've watched struggling students who were about to quit become confident journeymen. That transformation is what drives us.
Trade Tutor exists to make that transformation accessible to every apprentice who needs it. Because everyone deserves a shot at success when they're willing to put in the work.
We're starting with lineman apprentices because that's where we have the most experience. But the problem of inadequate support exists across all skilled trades—electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, welders, and more.
Our vision is to become the go-to tutoring platform for all trade apprentices nationwide, connecting thousands of students with experienced professionals who can help them succeed. One apprentice, one tutor, one successful career at a time.
Whether you're an apprentice who needs help or a journeyman who wants to give back—get started today.
