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...

I have for more than 6 years been teaching study and testing skills at the University level. I teach this to freshman in a group environment at FAU as needed. I completed successfully, at University of Miami, a course on the teaching skills and methods for both study and testing skills. Many of our university students come to the college classroom with poor time management and study skills, struggling for even a "C". I have tutored students in private sessions resulting in a 1-2 grade increase. Although there is not a one skill list fits all, with individual adjustments to there approach everyone can increase their grades. Using these essential methods, when applied correctly, improve subject material comprehension resulting in improved grades. Beyond the basic when and where factors, there is a deeper level of reading and listening comprehension. Often a student hears the lecture in class and read the word in the text but fails to listen or understand the concept or statements. With practiced study skills, student frustration diminishes resulting in better comprehension and retention. Good study skills are often ignored until poor grade become a factor but it is a problem which can improve with guidance, implementation and practice.

Exceptional tutor and person.

Dr. D is a very understanding and patient tutor that helped me reach the benchmark for the Exit HESI. I felt as I wasn't successful with the resources that were offered through my University and thankfully found Dr. D with Wyzant. He worked with me for numerous sessions to pass my Exit HESI exam. He was supportive, knowledgable, patient, and so much more. Once meeting with him, my score increased from the 700s to the 900s. I truthfully could not have made the benchmark without the help of Dr. D. I recommend his knowledge and resources to anyone who is struggling with the HESI , ATI or NCLEX as he was extremely patient and focused on your individual needs, while keeping it lighthearted and stress free. I will definitely continue to meet with Dr. D as I continue to prepare for my NCLEX.

Knowledgeable and Encouraging

Dr.D was not only exceptionally knowledgeable when it came to my practice material for my HESI, but he helped me learn valuable test taking skill and ways to ease my test anxiety. Dr.D is extremely patient when learning and reviewing material for my HESI exam. I would recommend him in the blink of an eye to anybody who is lost, struggling, or just does not know where to start when studying for their nursing exams. Hands down best tutor I’ve ever had!

Erika, 9 lessons with Louis

Very knowledgeable and patient

Dr D is just awesome. He helped my son complete his nursing program and now helping him pass his boards. He took the time to update me when I called. Very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to any parents reeking tutorial help for their child. Again thank you Dr. D.

Yannick, 65 lessons with Louis

Tease

He was very professional, polite, understanding and patient. Dr. D took the time to explain how to take standardized test and that calm, my anxiety down. He reassured me that once I learn the strategy of test taking that I can master any test. So I am a bit more confident in my abilities to do the work. Thanks Dr. D

Angela, 2 lessons with Louis

Very knowledgeable tutor

I appreciate this tutor already after my first session. He has a "crawl, walk, run" type of philosophy which is in line with my way of learning. He has developed a plan for me to follow with additional meetings to over my progress. I am very satisfied with the way this is heading.

Dr. DuPont is such a great tutor! First session created a plan and each session I could feel my improvement with answering questions and understanding the correct answer if I selected the wrong one. Provided handouts where I need a little more clarity. Always positive and patient!
