Effective Tutoring in Testing and Testing Skills
ENJOYABLE LEARNING I love learning and sharing my knowledge, which is why I love my job as a professor at FAU. If learning is fun, we all remember how to maneuver through an activity which we learned by having fun. When we are enjoying an activity, we become relaxed and receptive to active learning. Being quickly successful at the beginning of a learning process builds confidence in an area of difficulty. Motivation is tied to Achievable goals and builds the confidence required to achieve th...

With my Ph.D. and teaching on the University level, I have taken this Exam and taught it for seven years with excellent student success. My tutoring approach is the same with this test, as it is with any of the performance measurement exams. First, I pre-test the candidate and upon agreement of the value of the results, we format a study plan bases upon the exam date and the personal obligations of the student. My students have been very successful, passing all sections on the first try. Their success is due to an organized plan based upon them as an individuals and building upon their confidence and testing skills.

Chip is a great resource of information. During our review of the NCLEX, he provided me with handouts and sample questions for my weak areas that he personally took the time to gauge himself. He has a ton of personal experience to build off of as well, which helped me better understand certain topics. Overall, I would say that I gained quite a lot during my sessions with Chip.
Stephanie B. from Boca Raton, FL
Honestly, the best tutor there is. So smart and so patient. He not only taught me what I needed to know for tests, he taught me how to take notes and how to study. His methods are so useful and helpful. Highly recommend.
Carli D. from Boca Raton, FL
Chip was an excellent tutor. He always comes to sessions prepared and with a smile on his face. He went above and beyond to find me practice material and helpful resources. He answered all my questions, and explained the material in a clear and understanding way. I felt very comfortable with him, and was not afraid to ask questions. Above all, he encouraged and motivated me to succeed. Chip is a smart, organized, and encouraging tutor, and I would definitely recommend him.

He provides excellent resources to make sure improvements are made. His sessions are very well-structured and result-oriented. A very easy-to-talk-to kind of person that you feel comfortable to suggest or request your opinions for the best outcome. Overall, his quality of teaching is absolutely in a professional level, and I would definitely refer him to my colleagues at my health professional institution.

Louis tutors me for the Teas exam, and in 1 session, with the addition of the homework, and take home paperwork he provides, I have already learned so much! I am confident that he will help me achieve the score I want !
Mark M. from Deerfield Beach, FL
Chip is very knowledgeable — We went over the fundamentals of spelling. Chip has showed me the way to break down words using phonetics. I have learned a great deal within a short period of time. Louis is very understanding of my job; works at my pace. He is very knowledgeable, patient; professional and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor.

Maxwell G. from Pompano Beach, FL
Louis is not only experienced, but also sharp and knowledgeable. Chinese have a famous saying, "Listen to Jun's words, better than reading ten books!" It is his passion and the way he delivers his message helped my son understand why English writing IS really as important as math and science.
Tracey C. from Fort Lauderdale, FL
Louis listens to what you understand and dont understand. He helps guide you onto the right thought process. When you dont understand he explains from bottom up
Ellen B. from Delray Beach, FL
Goal of our session today was to evaluate whether or not it was prudent to try and prepare for SSAT at this late date. The session was interactive and he was able to draw out a lot of information from our son, just through conversation and a short reading comp evaluation. He gave him several test taking tips and from the reading comp score it was clear that the combination of our son's knowledge and utilization of the tips he learned earlier in the session, it is worth his time to take the four hour exam he gave him on a thumb drive, to complete at home. We will schedule another appointment to evaluate the exam results. If it still appears that he will be prepared enough to do reasonably well, we will proceed. Just what he learned today alone was valuable and will be useful knowledge over time. Looking forward to further sessions.

Louis taught my son how to memorize easily, he used the technique over the weekend and it works!! He taught his little brother and couldn't wait to teach his neighbor next door how to do it! he also talked to him about the place he needs to study and he listened, he is no longer studying in bed in a comfy chair etc. He gave him several techniques that we haven't had a chance to use yet, but great ideas! We had an amazing session, we were both very happy.
Nadia W. from Pompano Beach, FL
Confidence in ones self which is needed before any tutoring. Focus points, study skills along with test taking skills. How to read the material but not think in too detailed as to loose focus of what the question is asking, which I think is one of my weakest areas.
Charli D. from Boca Raton, FL
Chip is very personable and very understanding. He explained the material and took the time to teach me the material. I got into two universities for nursing with his support. I am very glad I was directed to him because now I can continue on my journey doing big and better things.
