Excellent Instructors

Our instructors come with many different backgrounds. At a minimum, a teaching candidate must have at least a BA, high scores on the relevant tests, and teaching experience. As you know, however, not everyone who scores well on a test and has teaching experience makes a good instructor. That is why we insist that our test preparation instructors not only score well themselves on tests, but also that they can communicate their insights to others. Before we hire teachers, we have them teach model classes to members of our Academic staff. That’s the only way we can see how well they can present material to you. Our instructors are trained not to follow a rigid format, but to address the needs of many kinds of learners. Your teachers need to know how to take the exam. But more importantly, they need to be able to help you take it on your own.
