I am a recent graduate of Harvard College. I've been working with middle school and high school age children for the past several years and feel very comfortable communicating with students that age. I was a history major in college, but I'd be happy to help out with middle school and early high school math, as well as any help needed with writing or humanities-related courses. Also available for standardized test prep help!

Ahmed

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +23 Subjects

Since I began tutoring 8 years at the beginning of high school, I had not realized that a job that I had initially taken to help pay for the luxuries that my parents could not afford would become one of the brightest and meaningful opportunities I would ever be a part of. At Kumon, I worked with hundreds of students who were challenged with mastering the subjects they were expected to learn and challenged with material they were yet to know; it was both difficult and satisfying to see students struggling with a subject develop over time. Most of the jobs I have worked since then have allowed me to watch kids from elementary to high school grow over the course of years, and I have done my best to make sure they develop a capacity and enjoyment of learning. Even as a graduate of chemistry, I continue to tutor because it is one of, if not the most, impactful way to positively affect the younger generation, and I am glad to be a part of their growth,

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University with a Bachelor's degree in chemistry.

Claire

AP French Tutor • +21 Subjects

I'm a recent graduate from Brown University where I studied Linguistics and French. I teach French at all levels, including AP and SAT subject test prep. I started learning French when I was 5 and it's been an important part of my life so I hope to help others appreciate the language as much as I do! I studied abroad in Senegal, West Africa where I spoke nothing but French for a semester. In college I was a French TA for several semesters.When I was studying for the SAT in high school, I loved taking standardized tests! I knew that made me crazy, but it helped me figure out how to turn this boring test into something a bit more exciting for students when I started teaching the SAT to low-income, first-generation-to-college high school students. I spent two semesters running classes, and my proudest moment was when when of my students received his acceptance to Brown, my alma mater.I even loved standardized tests so much that I spent a summer working for two standardized test companies, The American Institute for Research, which creates state tests, and Educational Testing Service, Inc. (the company behind writing the SAT, APs, and GREs), where I wrote test questions for the TOEFL Junior (a test of English for foreign elementary and middle school students).My other teaching experiences include full-time one-on-one tutoring at a company called Lindamood-Bell, where I coached students ranging from ages 5-21 in reading and reading comprehension. I worked with star students and students with severe learning disabilities. I love working with students of all ages and abilities because every student is interesting in his or her own way, and I believe that it is only by getting to know a student's unique qualities and interests that I can be the most effective teacher.Outside of teaching, I am trying to learn as much about cheese as I possibly can, and hope to one day become a Certified Cheese Professional and open up my own cheese store.

Lena

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

Keeping this short and sweet, I am a former Optical Engineer turned professional musical theater dancer. I have two degrees, BS in Optical Sciences and Engineering and BFA in Dance, from the University of Arizona. I have a particular aptitude for high level math and physics, and find it rewarding to see students enjoy these subjects, even if they didn't at first! I work best with students who want to get to the root of understanding their subjects regardless of their learning style. I find that students respond to absorbing knowledge best when finding their own motivation, which I encourage through hands on problem solving and relating difficult concepts to practical life applications. A previous student in AP Calculus AB raised his grade from D to B and got a 5 on the AP test after tutoring with me. Happy to be encouraging STEAM education!!

Ezra

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I received my Bachelor's degree in Economics, summa cum laude, from Hunter College, and my J.D. from Harvard Law School. At Hunter College, I studied economics, mathematics and philosophy and earned a 4.0 in all math courses (I completed math courses up to multi-variable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra) and in graduate school my studies focused on business, finance, and corporate law. I also received a graduate level certificate in Advanced Calculus with Financial Engineering Applications from Baruch College's esteemed Financial Mathematics department and I am CFA candidate. The subjects I tutor are math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus), statistics, finance, economics, SAT Math and LSAT prep.I believe that classroom instruction is not always the most effective pedagogical approach for all students, and that 1-on-1 instruction can be tremendously helpful in overcoming obstacles and developing stronger learning and test-taking techniques.I enjoy this work because I find the subjects interesting and enjoy helping students succeed at something and develop confidence. My professional interests include economics, finance, value investing, venture investing, derivatives trading, and commercial real estate. In addition to my academic and professional interests, I enjoy art, film, poker, technology, muay thai kickboxing and basketball.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study effort, but most students see measurable gains within 4-8 weeks of consistent preparation. Students who work with tutors typically improve their weakest sections most significantly—often 3-5 points or more on individual subtests. The key is identifying which sections (Math Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mechanical Aptitude, etc.) are holding you back and targeting those areas with focused practice and strategy refinement.

The ASVAB has 9 subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Electronics Information, Auto and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, Assembling Objects, and Verbal Expression. Most students find Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge challenging because they require both speed and accuracy under time pressure. Paragraph Comprehension and Mechanical Comprehension also trip up many test-takers. A tutor can help you identify your specific weak areas through practice tests and develop targeted strategies for each section.

Timing is critical on the ASVAB because you have limited minutes per section. The most effective strategy is to practice full-length, timed practice tests repeatedly so you build speed without sacrificing accuracy. Tutors help you learn which question types to tackle first, when to skip difficult questions and return later, and how to avoid getting stuck on any single problem. With consistent timed practice, you'll develop an intuition for pace that lets you answer more questions correctly within the time limit.

Practice tests serve two critical purposes: they reveal which sections and question types give you trouble, and they build familiarity with the test format and time constraints so you're not caught off guard on test day. Taking multiple practice tests under real timing conditions helps you calibrate your pacing strategy and reduces test anxiety. Many students find that their practice test scores improve consistently as they review their mistakes and reinforce weak concepts—this is where a tutor's feedback on why you missed questions becomes invaluable.

Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of preparation, depending on their starting score and target branch/job requirements. If you're scoring well already, 4-6 weeks of focused review may be enough. If you need to improve math or reading skills significantly, 8-12 weeks allows time to build foundational knowledge alongside test-specific strategy. A tutor can assess your baseline with a practice test and create a realistic timeline tailored to your goals and study schedule.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format and uncertainty about whether you're prepared. The best antidote is repeated exposure: taking full-length practice tests until the format feels routine removes a major source of anxiety. Working with a tutor also helps because you get personalized feedback showing exactly what you can do well, which builds confidence. Additionally, tutors can teach you test-day strategies—like deep breathing, positive self-talk, and time management tactics—that give you concrete tools to stay calm under pressure.

For math (Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge), the strategy is to solve problems quickly without a calculator by recognizing common question patterns and using shortcuts. For reading (Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension), you need strong vocabulary and the ability to extract key information fast. A tutor can teach you section-specific techniques: for math, recognizing when to estimate or work backwards; for reading, how to skim strategically and identify what each question is really asking. Practice with instant feedback on why answers are right or wrong accelerates mastery of these strategies.
