Chyten Educational Excellence

Chyten Educational Services, New England’s Premier Tutoring and Test Preparation business announces that their national expansion continues into the Midwestern United States with a new Chyten Education Center to open in Carmel, Indiana and throughout California with a Center in Palos Verdes.

“Chyten Educational Services is proud to announce its first location in the Midwest, which will open this summer in Carmel, Indiana. Parental interest in advancing their childrens’ educational promise truly knows no boundaries. Heightened parental interest in education and the state-of-the-art systems employed by Chyten to help students excel, is a winning combination that will benefit the students of Carmel and its surrounding Indiana environs. Soon the residents, parents and students of the Hoosier State will no longer say ‘who’ when the name Chyten is mentioned” noted Neil Chyten, founder of Chyten Educational Services.

Chyten is also excited about its continued development in California, with its newest Education Center set to open in Palos Verdes, California. “The demographics of Palos Verdes and adjacent communities, when combined with heightened parental interest in education and the state-of-the-art systems employed by Chyten to help students excel, is a winning combination that will benefit the students of Palos Verdes and its environs”, Neil Chyten also notes.

In March, Chyten students continued to impress on the SAT. While, nationally, approximately 1:5000 students receives a perfect 2400 SAT score, three Chyten students achieved this ultimate result! Two other Chyten students received a 2390 (oooooo – that hurts!) Another Chyten student earned a score of 2340 – up 400 points! In addition, at least 12 other Chyten students received perfect 800s in SAT math, reading or writing sections and five Chyten students earned scores of over 2350, placing them squarely in the 99th percentile!

Nice work, Chyten Students!

As juniors receive their PSAT score reports, we are excited to begin the fourth year of our Chyten - Westwood High School Partnership – proud of the accomplishments of the class of 2009 recognized as having the highest SAT test scores in Massachusetts’ South region. Read Article here Congratulations to Westwood High School Principal Emily Park’s for providing the strong curriculum that - combined with our programs and materials - have resulted in increased average SAT scores among Westwood students. We look forward to continuing to serve these students this academic year providing expert instruction, highly-qualified tutors, effective strategies and skill-building materials - in order to help each student reach or even exceed his/her personal expectations.

Chyten offers two of the most revolutionary diagnostic tools on the market today. Continuing to transform the way that students, parents, and even schools look at test preparation, the Magnostic Report and the ACT vs. SAT Comparison test are celebrating their one year anniversary. These tools have allowed our clients to more accurately prepare for their exam of choice and improve the skill sets with the most room for growth.

Chyten's Magnostic SAT Diagnostic is one of the most comprehensive SAT diagnostic tool in existence today. After taking an actual conditions practice test, the student receives Chyten's Magnostic report, the most comprehensive diagnostic tool in the industry. Not only does it offer a categorical analysis of test performance, it identifies student tendencies in more than 100 reading, writing, and mathematical categories. It then analyzes student performance factors such as point cost factor, fatigue factor, answer distribution, and more. With its detailed graphical analysis, The Magnostic provides both visual and linear representations of performance that can easily be turned into a plan of action to improve scores and confidence.

With ACT gaining a foothold in the Eastern and Western United States, and with all colleges in America now accepting ACT as readily as they accept SAT, many students are left wondering which test to take – which test matches their academic abilities. While practice versions of both tests were available, no one test existed that could measure a student's relative abilities on both. Chyten's ACT vs. SAT Comparison Test fills that void. After taking the test, students receive a detailed 11-page report that provides information on each student's relative performance on ACT vs. SAT, and the strength of each student's relative ability.

The Reading and Development program- or RANDD- has improved student confidence and performance nationwide. Since its recent inception in its current form, based on twenty years of tutor Neil Chyten's experience and recent learning research, this revolutionary study skills program has found itself in high demand. Chyten's instructors are experts at helping students become more effective readers - and the results can be amazing! RANDD explores a variety of reading techniques and how to implement:

- Mid Range Reading Strategies
- Differentiated Reading
- Active Reading

This unique program also introduces graphic organizers called Information Organization Utilization (IOU): These single-page structured chapter summaries become study sheets to help students ace tests and quizzes. Test-taking strategies are presented side by side with Chyten's strategy of Review-Integrated Note Taking. Finally, this 14-hour program discusses time management and mastery of one's personal time and space! RANDD students learn to effectively manage both for more efficient learning and studying. Help your child become one of the many thanking this program for strengthening skills across all areas of their lives.

On Saturday, November 21, Company Founder and CEO Neil Chyten wrapped up his fifth tutor training in three months time, after training Chyten's newest cadre of high-power tutors in Bayside, Queens and Syossett, Long Island, New York. In October, he trained a new crop of tutors on the other side of the nation, Irvine and Arcadia, California. Also on the list were Millis, MA and Upper Montclair, NJ. Some would be exhausted by this task, but not Chyten. To Chyten, this is just what it takes to continually produce the best tutors in the country.

"Training our tutors is just part of my job," says Chyten. "It is one of those things that just gives me great satisfaction. I am so impressed by what I see, by the quality of the tutors we are able to attract."

If Chyten is impressed by the quality of the tutors his company attracts, how do these talented tutors feel about being trained by the man whose name is on the door? According to one tutor who attended Chyten's most recent tutor training school in Milburn, New Jersey: "It is terrific. I am really surprised that the company president would come out here to train us." Another tutor who also attended the training said: "I have been attending training seminars for the past 17 years of my teaching career. This is the best training I have ever attended."

What makes Chyten's training so special? According to another tutor who attended the same training: "Mr. Chyten has a passion that is palpable. He makes it clear what he expects from his company's tutors and that is nothing less than excellence. But he is also terrific at explaining concepts. When he explains his Zig Zag Method for example, you get excited to teach it to your students."

2009 wraps up with trainings planned in South Hills, PA and Lake Oswego, OR.

We Expect to Add Ten New Franchises by December 1, 2009!

Chyten Educational Services today announced that the company is in the process of opening ten new Chyten franchise locations in the next three months. This projection is based on the number of deposits and committments for deposits the company has received. According to company president Neil Chyten, "We have had an impressive amount of interest in our franchise opportunity and have already received deposits for new franchises from Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Florida, and two franchises are already in the process of procuring leases in Arcadia and Irvine, California."

It looks as though the return of lending and consumer confidence, combined with layoffs and employee severence packages will bring record franchise sales for Chyten, the nation's leading provider of premium-level educational services. "We have an attractive model for potential owners who want a rewarding career, because we are absolutely the best at what we do. We offer more premium-level educational services than any other provider and each of those services represents a significant revenue stream for our owners." He adds, "Eveyone wants the best for their kids, and that is where Chyten comes in."

Last year, Chyten added college counseling, RANDDTM Reading and Study Skills and summer school programs to its tutoring and test-prep classes model. This year, it is adding Singapore Math TM, and graduate school test prep programs such as LSAT and GRE.

With ten new franchises currently in the pipeline, Chyten feels strongly that the number of Chyten Education Centers will easily double this year - and says that his company is just getting started. His ultimate goal is to become the nation's premier premium-level educational services provider, and it looks as if this young enthusiastic company and ambitious owner are well on their way.

Based on this 6-page analysis, Chyten tutors will be able to help students pinpoint test performance problems like a compass and work to remediate them with Chyten's industry-best and most effective strategies. "The Magnostic" adds to Chyten's set of diagnostic testing tools which also features the "ACT versus SAT Comparison Test".

On Saturday, August 16th, Company Founder and CEO Neil Chyten returned home to Massachusetts after training Chyten's newest cadre of high-power tutors in Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Arizona. To Chyten, this is just what it takes to continually produce the best tutors in the country.

"Training our tutors is just part of my job," says Chyten. "It is one of those things that just gives me great satisfaction. I am so impressed by what I see, by the quality of the tutors we are able to attract."

If Chyten is impressed by the quality of the tutors his company attracts, how do these talented tutors feel about being trained by the man whose name is on the door? According to one tutor who attended Chyten's most recent tutor training school in Milburn, New Jersey: "It is terrific. I am really surprised that the company president would come out here to train us. "Another tutor who also attended the training said:
"I have been attending training seminars for the past 17 years of my teaching career. This is the best training I have ever attended. "

What makes Chyten's training so special? According to another tutor who attended the same training:
"Mr. Chyten has a passion that is palpable. He makes it clear what he expects from his company's tutors and that is nothing less than excellence. But he is also terrific at explaining concepts. When he explains his Zig Zag Method for example, you get excited to teach it to your students. "

Next up for Neil will be a return trip to New York and another trip to New Jersey, to train tutors in new centers opening up in Hartsdale and Princeton, respectively. According to Chyten:
"I am excited to be going back to New York of course and as far as Princeton goes, well, I have more than one reason to be excited about that. "Asked to explain, Chyten offers only a smile.

Finally, the College Board has done the right thing. Despite the likelihood that the move has a less-than-altruistic roots, score choice on the SAT is a good thing for students. As an SAT tutor myself for 20 years, I have felt the extreme pressure of high-powered parents and high achieving students who push for top scores and top schools and whose expectations fall short due to a "bad day" on SAT day. Anyone from an honors student to a remedial student can have a bad day on test day. Things happen. Fire alarms go off. Soccer teams practice outside the window. People get sick, feel tired or have personal problems to deal with. Recently, I had a student's mother call me in tears, because her daughter's score increase of 280 points still didn't put her in the mix for the top schools to which her friends were applying. So, the fact that students can take the test with less pressure and will have the opportunity to test the test over with no penalty, seems to be a step in the right direction. To the College Board, if you are listening, offer score choice for Subject Tests NOW! Just so no one is accused of not giving credit where credit is due… let me go on record as saying that the College Board should be commended, not criticized, for this action.

Starting in AY 2008-2009, Many of Chyten's Education Centers will feature a new service: College Counseling. According to Chyten's founder and CEO Neil Chyten, this is a natural extension of the services they already offer.

"For years, discriminating parents have chosen Chyten to prepare their students for the benchmark tests they need to get into college: SAT, ACT, AP and the Subject Tests. Now, we can extend those services all the way through matriculation. "
"People should know us well enough, should know me well enough, to understand that we will not offer any program unless we can do it as well or better than anyone else. "

Since College Counseling was new to Chyten, Neil sought a partnership with someone for whom he had a great deal of respect - one of the best counselors in the region: Jeff Vernamonti, from Lexington Christian Academy.

"Jeff is one of the best counselors I have ever met – one of those guys who really ‘gets it.' When he came on board, he brought along experience and expertise forged over his 10-year college counseling career. The college counseling program he has created here at Chyten is top notch. "

For Vernamonti's part, working at Chyten is like a dream come true. "I loved my time at LCA, but the opportunity to build a national program at Chyten is an amazing opportunity. Chyten is by far the best tutoring company in America and I am happy to be a part of its future. "

Like Chyten, who personally trains all Chyten's tutors across the country, Vernamonti will train all Chyten's counselors in his proprietary program – a program that offers a package of services that takes kids all the way from the earliest stages of discernment through high school to college transition counseling.

Now that Chyten has added college counseling to the mix, what is next for this fast moving company? According to Neil, you'll just have to stay tuned. "Nothing is off limits. If there is a need and we can fill that need and offer a service that helps parents or students - as long as we can do it better than anyone else - we will do it. "
