Jonathan
Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a 19 year old who appreciates school and knowledge more than anything. I have always been drawn to learning more and as a result I have felt the responsibility to pass knowledge on to those who are struggling with a concept I have mastered. I excel in math and science and hope to help kids who are interested in these topics overcome the obstacles that come with the education process, in order to continue learning more. I have had many inspirational academic mentors in my life that have allowed me to become the man I am today and as a result I am glad to be in the position to pay it forward.
Amanda
Earth Science Tutor • +3 Subjects
I have been a teacher in a Title I school for the past 15 years. I taught regents earth science for 10 years, as well as middle school general science for the past 15 years. Additionally, during the summer I taught a two week regents review earth science course. My experience with the earth science regents is extensive as well as my middle school experience.It is a passion of mine to work with students in the earth science curriculum, the middle school science curriculum and help students navigate the online platform. Online learning is much different for students requiring teachers to provide additional resources and more one on one opportunities for students to understand the science content.As an educator, I feel that is important to continue to educate ourselves on a constant basis and not graduate from college and feel we have learned all that is possible. Continuing to attend school and allowing my students that knowledge shows them that life does not end with a 'graduation' but is a continual learning process.You will find my commitment to you, and your educational needs are a priority in my teaching. As a tutor you will find I am dependable, attend sessions on time and if necessary am able to provide additional materials to support student learning.Thank you for considering me and I look forward to working with your child.

I have 18 years of teaching experience. I taught Special Education at both the Middle School level and Elementary level for 15 years, as well as ESL for three years in an online setting. I am certified in Special Education and Elementary Education and I have taught classes in Science, Social Studies, and English. I also have certifications in Wilson Reading and TESOL/TEFL (150 hours) in both of which I have taught classes as well. My teaching style online is very similar to my classroom teaching style in that I encourage my learners to do their best work while providing strategies to achieve success. Students have a natural ability to learn and I am happy to say they do it online as well as my students did in the classroom. Come join me!My area of specialization is teaching scaffolded reading skills and strategies as well as teaching scaffolded writing strategies. Because I have worked with many grade levels of both General Ed and Special Ed students, I am well prepared to work with a variety of student age groups and their learning styles. I am excited to be offering my teaching style online. My philosophy of teaching has always been to support every student in my classroom with patience, caring and scaffolded guidance. All of us deserve to learn in a warm, supportive atmosphere with a teacher who can provide quality instruction at the student's level. When a student feels supported, learning is a natural outcome.
Jenifer
AP Biology Tutor • +13 Subjects
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from Mount Holyoke College and a Master of Education from the University of Texas at Austin. As a high school teacher, I focused on Biology and Environmental Science and as a middle school teacher I focused on Physical and Earth Science. I am most passionate about tutoring science and helping students understand how to ask questions and develop procedures to answer those questions. When working with students one on one I make sure to evaluate their current knowledge and make sure there's a strong foundation on which we can build. I especially enjoy using visual and hands-on tools to help make abstract principles more concrete. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, crocheting, sewing, cooking and learning new things. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and I enjoy finding ways to make learning fun.

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.
