Our company specializes in developing outstanding teachers. We bring all our new instructors to Los Angeles for a week of rigorous training before they ever teach a real class. Each day from morning until midnight they learn our comprehensive LSAT system and get valuable teaching practice. No other company devotes the time and resources that TestMasters does to training its instructors.
At training, new instructors learn our methodology and the most effective ways to teach it. They spend more than fifty hours absorbing the TestMasters curriculum in modules taught by some of our most experienced instructors, including Robin Singh, Dorothy Moneymaker, Rachel Vincent, Amelia Brasher, Jeff Benjamin, and Kelly Donovan. By the time the week is over, new instructors are primed for the challenge of teaching a TestMasters class.
Mastering the LSAT requires mastering a wide range of verbal and analytical skills, and TestMasters instructors need to have these skills down cold. So before joining the faculty, new instructors must pass a battery of oral and written tests that measure proficiency in argument evaluation, abstract logic, language interpretation, and other areas. For the past thirteen years, Steve Che has run all of the skills testing modules at training. He makes sure that our instructors know their stuff.
The only way to know whether someone can teach is to see that person in action. Throughout the week, TestMasters trainees instruct mock LSAT classes ranging in size from 15 to 40 students. Veteran instructors observe these classes and give trainees feedback, and the mock students submit written evaluations of each trainee’s performance. Excellence matters, which is why new instructors must prove they have what it takes before we assign them real classes. Only those who meet our high standards are certified to teach for TestMasters.
Instructor training is an ongoing process. Once they are certified, instructors gain access to hundreds of pages of lecture notes, which illustrate effective teaching methods and highlight critical points. Our research and development department keeps the faculty up to date on new content as it is added to the course. Department members are also available around the clock to answer any academic questions instructors have. The support our instructors receive translates into higher scores for TestMasters students.
