It stands for Look Well Ahead And Pick A Marker.
Overcontrolling in yaw in the hover is usually because you are looking in the wrong place - have you been taught to look at the 2 0'clock daisy or the hover attitude? If it is the 2 o'clock daisy then no wonder you are having problems.
Equally if you tend to look too close to the aircraft the hover will suffer.
Look into the distance and use hover attitude and markers and I am sure it will help.
The other top tip is to relax - if you are too tense your strongest leg will over power the weaker one causing yaw in the strong direction. I once tried to take control from a student in a steep turn who had both his legs locked out, no wonder he was struggling with balance control! Humming or singing might p8ss your instructor off but it might help you to chill out a bit and relax if that is your problem.
Good luck - I fly in boots but I reckon deck shoes might be best for you!
