"Jason’s workshops are unique. There are many study techniques and exam techniques that I find very useful. More importantly though, those workshops focus a lot on finding the right mentality for not only studying, but on how to improve yourself and face challenges. They also give deeper understanding to how we learn and how we react to stressful situations. He then offers recommendations on how to learn effectively and how to cope with stress. I highly recommend these workshops to anyone who would like to achieve exceptional results."

"Jason Chan was my tutor when I studied Software Development in 2004 at Sydney University. He clearly explained the relevant concepts and processes with patience and clarity. His style of teaching was not limited to the content of the course, but also focused on helping his students develop the best strategies for learning. This was particularly evident in his preparation of course notes, examples and definitions that he made available.

Despite not having any prior experience in computer programming, I achieved a High Distinction in this subject [top 1-2% of students in 1st year] through the help and dedication that Jason offered. As I completed my Bachelor of Advanced Science, I have continued to utilise the strategies and advice I received from Jason. I wish him all the best for Study Superstar and I am sure he will make a fantastic contribution in assisting more students."

"Jason is one of the best tutors I've had the pleasure of working with at the University of Sydney. He has a natural talent for teaching and a genuine passion for helping his students to learn... I know a lot of your students had many great things to say about you."

"Your answers are very interesting. What sets them apart from other students I interviewed (also high achieving) is their maturity and depth. If I didn't know you, just based on them, I could tell that you are not only a highly achieving student but also a person who likes to teach and can teach well."

"At the recent Staff/Student Liaison meeting held in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering the students commended your excellent tutoring in COMP1001. The meeting asked me to write to you to advise you of this commendation, and I do so with great pleasure."

"The concepts I learned through your tutoring have remained with me and been hugely useful throughout my work - long after my need for the actual [programming] language (Java) faded. ... unfortunately the rest of the faculty teaching staff didn't measure up to your standard"

"In 2003, I was a student of Jason Chan when I opted for a computer software subject (SOFT1002) under an undergraduate course bioinformatics at The University of Sydney. Throughout the semester, I found him to be a very dedicated tutor who ensured that all of his students had a full understanding of the subject matters covered under the entire syllabus. Jason, with his caring attitude for his students, would make an extra effort to assist those who had difficulties of completing their weekly assignments. My fellow students and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time attending his tutorial classes. We all agreed that he was "one of the best tutors" we had ever encountered, with his natural talent for teaching and constant motivation of his students to perform well in both assignments and examinations. He would also help to resolve conflicts between students working on a group assignment. For those students who are in desperate need of an excellent and dedicated tutor, Jason Chan is highly recommended!"

"Jason is an excellent and outstanding tutor with knowledgeable expertise. Most impressively, he is very patient and enthusiastic about encouraging and motivating his students to discover their best potential in learning. His style of teaching is refreshing and very easy to understand. He is always punctual for lessons and gives good attention to each one of his students’ questions and problems. There is nothing better than getting personally taught by a professional like Jason whom also becomes friends. Jason’s tutoring in first year java programming helped me immensely, it has been six years now and I still remember his lessons and guidance in learning. Thank you and very grateful to have you as my tutor, and I would highly recommend you to anyone in the future."

"Jason is an excellent tutor who I would highly recommend to any student. He readily supports each student on an individual basis and is always willing to help. He is well knowledged with what he teaches and conveys it well, making it easier to learn. He made sure lessons were fun, productive and well planned. I take this opportunity to thank him for his hard work and attention during that time."

"Coming from no experience whatsoever with computer programming in high school, Jason definitely made Greek (Software Programming languages) sound like simple English. His teaching methods when he was my tutor for SOFT1001 is second to none. I have to say that his tutorials is by far the best learning experience that I have had throughout my 4 years in the University of Sydney."

"Jason and I worked together during a 10 week scholarship for the School of IT at the University of Sydney. We spent most our time creating new and exciting learning resources, as well as participating as tutors to assist advanced students in daily courses. It is in his nature to express any subject with the utmost clarity to ensure the depths of his knowledge are shared for the benefit of his students. It is without question that he has the right aptitude for any subject matter he sets his mind on and an equally positive attitude."

"Jason was a veteran tutor on introductory programming in our school. He was supportive, encouraging, motivating, and friendly with the right knowledge, which was highly valued by our students. His teaching is inspiring through leading the learning process of students, rather than homiletic. Last, but not least, he is enthusiastic in teaching and pours his passion into it, which I think is critical for teaching."
