FTCE Math Workshops ~ Testimonials

Keli ~Special Education K-6

I have to say that Chris was truly a Godsend for me. Although I still had to take the MTEL a couple of more times before I passed it I truly learned so much. The way Chris tutors is effective because he modifies for each student. He helped me to understand the problems in my own way, which helped me to retain the information.

The workshop in Harvard Square was a great intro before starting my tutoring sessions. It helped myself and Chris to understand where I needed most of my help, and believe me this can surprisingly change once you take this math MTEL. Having a family at home, I do not have time to leave the house that frequently so the Skype sessions were so convenient for me. Having these sessions in the comfort of my own home was great.

Thank you Chris I could never have passed without you!!!

Jen ~ Elementary Teacher K-6

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I was very excited when I decided to follow my passion and go back to school to get my Masters of Arts in Teaching. I loved all of my course work and practicum work. The hardest part on my journey was the MTELs. I have never been strong in standardized assessments, let alone in math. Math was always a subject I struggled with. After failing my first Math MTEL by 10 points, I researched different workshops and tutors to assist me.

I found Chris online, and boy am I lucky I did! I was immediately impressed with his videos and website. I reached out to him and heard back in a very quick manner. I signed up for his workshop, not sure what to expect. I figured I had nothing to lose. To be honest, I was not excited to spend eight hours of my weekend in a math workshop. Chris and the workshop were more than I ever imagined. He was funny, engaging, and gave so many useful tips and tricks. I left the workshop feeling so much more confident in my mathematical skills. After the workshop, I signed up for 3 1-1 tutoring sessions with Chris. I was not sure how Skype tutoring would work, but it was great! We were able to iron out many of the kinks I still had in my math abilities. I walked into my MTEL feeling confident.

The test was so much less stressful the second time around. I left the test with a huge smile on my face, unlike the tears that I had the previous time. Chris is the reason I passed this test, and I will be forever grateful. I was so impressed that I signed up for multisubject tutoring with him as well. Thank you so much Chris!!!

Dawn ~ Assistant Teacher K-6

I work as a Teaching Assistant in an Alternative program at Hamilton Wenham Regional High School. After working as a teaching assistant for eight years I decided to continue my education and get my master’s in special education because that is the only way to have my own classroom. The good news is that I had a degree in elementary education already but the bad news is in order to get my masters degree one of the criteria is to take and pass three tests called MTEL’s. Being a career changer I knew that I was going to have some challenges but taking standardized tests has always been very difficult for me even going way back to high school.

I scoured the internet to find someone that could help. That is when I stumbled upon Chris Abraham and GoHmath. I signed up for the workshop which was great and so helpful. Chris taught so many test taking strategies and ways to approach each problem in addition to teaching math skills. He never once made me feel like I didn’t know what I was doing. He was actually able to figure out my strengths and build on them. I also attended another workshop and I had the skills and confidence that I was actually helping the others in the workshop. I knew I was ready to take the test.

I would never have been able to pass without the support and encouragement from Chris Abraham. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing to pass a MTEL exam. He is the best!!

Hannah~ Elementary Teacher K-6

Dear Chris,

I can't believe this but I actually passed the MTEL math test that I took in June!!! Therefore I won't be at the workshop on Sunday. My sister unfortunately cannot attend either. Is there any way that I could get some money back? If not I understand.

I hope you did contact my school Stonehill College but if not I will definitely be telling my department chair about your services and helpful youtube videos! Thank you!!

Best regards,
Hannah

Dinelle ~ Teacher

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure if you remember me. But I had to e-mail you to thank you for all of your help with the Math MTEL material. My highest score prior to attending your workshop was 223. I improved my test score by at least 17 points leading me to pass the math MTEL in May with a score of 240 or higher thus making me finally eligible for a Mass. Teacher License. I truly believe your workshop made all the difference in the world. Thank you again for doing what you do.

Sincerely,
Dinelle

Sheila ~ Teacher

Hi Chris,

Chris Abraham's GOHMath workshop was recommended to me by a friend. I had already taken the General Curriculum many times and had no success. I attended his workshop and at the end was very comfortable with math and the upcoming test. I was so excited when I opened the score report and saw "Met the qualifying score". My whole career was on hold because of the test, and now, having passed, many doors have opened! I would highly recommend this workshop to anybody taking the test!! Chris is the BEST!

Thanks

Thank you so much for your help and patience. I seemed to do really well and ended up with a 3 on the essay... I'd only ever gotten a 1 before so that was pretty exciting! Scored very high in all of the multiple choice question categories as well.

Thanks again,

Hi Chris,

This is Brian, I took your workshop back in July. I just received my passing grade on the Math 03 and I wanted to thank you! Your workshop really made the difference on my score! I had previously taken this sub-test on two other occasions, bought the mtel study guide book, practiced with mtel sample test but to study for this third one all I needed was your seminar and the booklet we worked on, to pass impressively. Thank you so much for instilling in me the strategies and confidence I needed to be successful in passing my LAST MTEL!!!

Andrew ~ Teacher

Great news Chris, I passed my math MTEL! I can't thank you enough for all the work you have done. The skills and knowledge I acquired through your course proved invaluable to me passing this test. Above all, the confidence I gained while working though your program showed itself to be one of the biggest accomplishments I could ask for. I got over my "math anxiety" to a certain degree and I was able to find the confidence that told me "I don't suck too bad at math." It was a wonderful experience and I owe much of this accomplishment to you. Again, thank you so much. I wish you the best in the future and I will be in contact if I ever need some professional advice or tutoring.
Thanks -Andy M
