Why Educators Trust ETI

Took Early Childhood course after 3 test failures

After taking Chuck's class, I finally passed the test. I went back to the Chuck, after having a hard time passing my elementary sub-test. I passed 2 months later. I highly recommend Chuck and Pass the MTEL.

Catherine Twiss

Chuck helped me pass the General Curriculum Math MTEL

I had tried a couple times on my own, I had come close to passing, but didn't. I met with him and he was wonderful and patient. He showed me how to break down all the problems and worked with me. I recommend Chuck.

Jeff Paris

I tutored with Chuck to pass the Communication and Literacy MTEL

I was stuck because I had to pass the program and I didn't know if I can do that by myself. I started tutoring weekly and was able to identify where I was struggling and wasn't. Finally, I felt comfortable and passed.

Caroline Gulla

Zucco's program made passing the MTEL's easier

I had taken a couple courses to pass the MTEL and it wasn't helpful. Chuck's pace was fabulous, you do some work in class and then extra work throughout the week. I finally had the peace of mind, to pass the test.

Nicole Maker

As a Pass the MTEL for General Math graduate, I overcame my math phobia

I needed to pass the General Curriculum Math test to teach Special Education. I took preparatory classes in college. But didn't pass. I signed up for Pass the MTEL. They had specific strategies, it made all the difference.

I worked with Chuck to prepare for the Early Childhood Exam

My aunt recommended I work with Chuck because of her experience. I had private lessons because of my schedule. Chuck was knowledgeable about what things that were on the MTEL tests.

Andrea Deluccia

I tutored with Chuck for General Curriculum Math

First worked with him, as my private tutor and then took the classes. With the one-on-one tutoring, I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. After taking the exam 5 times, I was finally able to pass because of Chuck's help. I owe you my gratitude.

Chaylin Cuffy

Took MTEL writing 10 times before this course

I took the writing portion of the MTEL ten times before taking this course. I'm from Brazil and English is not my first language. I just followed the program, and I passed the test right after taking this course. Best money I ever spent.
