Ashton

ACT Prep Tutor • +41 Subjects

After attending Hunter College High School and the Collegiate School, I went on to Middlebury College, where I successfully juggled the rigors of academics and athletics by majoring in History, minoring in English and American Literatures, and playing on the men's basketball team. Since graduating in 2011, I've taught numerous ACT, SAT, AP US History and World History classes, and developed a teaching style that strives to maximize student outcomes. I also consult startups and nonprofits with their digital products, most recently in Lagos, Narobi, Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai. I spend most of my free time coding web and mobile apps, reading memoirs and short stories, writing comedy sketches, and winning as many fantasy sports leagues as I can enter.

Elementary School Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a graduate of East Carolina University where I received a Bachelor in Science in Elementary Education and Wayne Community College where I received an Associate in Arts and Business Administration. I am currently working on ESL (teaching students of other languages) Praxis.Since graduation I worked as a 5th grade Science teacher and 3rd grade general education teacher. In my experience I worked with the whole classroom, small group and one-on -one with students and while I truly enjoy all of those formats, I have to admit that tutoring one on one is my passion and strength. I tutored students in Math in my student years in University in my native country. The greatest compliment I got was that "I make complicated things seem easy". I also tutored Spanish at Wayne Community College. My favorite subject to teach and tutor is Math but I also like to teach reading comprehension at the elementary level.I believe education is vital in life and is worth pursuing and investing in it. As Thomas Edison said, "success is ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration".In my spare time I enjoy reading, nature, traveling, biking and playing tennis.

Paul

Biology Tutor • +22 Subjects

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences from SUNY Cortland along with a minor in Chemistry in the Spring of 2009. The following Fall I attended CW Post, from which I received my Master of Science degree in Adolescent Education for Biology (Spring 2011). After receiving my Master's degree, I began teaching 7th grade Science at the Jean Nuzzi Intermediate School. I taught there for 3 years and am excited to be transitioning to a high school setting in Manhattan, where I will be teaching Living Environment.I have tutored most students in reading, writing and math, but also gained experience preparing older students for the Earth Science, Living Environment and Chemistry Regents exams. My favorite subject to tutor is Science because that is my content specialty in teaching and I enjoy facilitating students' appreciation for the subject. As a teacher and a tutor I feel that questioning the student is of the utmost importance. It is important that students' develop a thorough understanding of the topic, and can demonstrate that understanding with detailed explanations. In addition, I want my students' to develop as learners through finding and using resources to further their understanding of different academic topics.Outside of teaching and tutoring I am an avid sports fan and music connoisseur. I also enjoy reading and staying updated on current events. Lastly, I am not originally from New York City, so I enjoy exploring and learning more about this wonderful city.

Ali Reza

AP Chemistry Tutor • +7 Subjects

I have many years of experience in teaching Chemistry courses including General, Organic, and Biochemistry courses in college and university levels. I Work directly with students on the material, providing the notes and problem solving. I believe as a tutor, my teaching methods should encompass breadth facets of student needs. Chemistry is a subject which includes both theoretical (e.g. crude facts, reactions, reagents, etc..) and experimental aspects. Many students try to learn the materials by just memorizing the reactions and their concepts. In my opinion, we should try to promote the learning of chemistry through a more profound mechanistic approach. Students should be given the opportunity to participate in their parts for learning and achieving their objectives. As a tutor, I will do my best to help students work toward their goals. In my free time, I enjoy running, swimming, watching TV, and listening to music.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Mechanical Comprehension and Electronics Information sections trip up many students because they require specialized knowledge that isn't covered in typical high school curricula. Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension also challenge students who haven't built strong vocabulary or reading speed. Math sections—Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge—are difficult for students who struggle with word problems or haven't reviewed algebra fundamentals in years. A tutor can diagnose which specific sections are holding back your score and focus instruction where it matters most.

Pacing is critical because the ASVAB is timed, and running out of time on easier questions you could answer costs you points. Many students spend too long on difficult items early in a section instead of moving through manageable questions first. A tutor can teach you how to quickly identify question difficulty, skip strategically, and allocate your time across sections based on your strengths. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they help you build rhythm and identify where you're losing seconds.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but students typically see 20-50 point increases (on the 1-99 scale) after focused tutoring and practice. If you're starting below 50, gains often come quickly because foundational gaps in math or reading are easier to close. Students already scoring 70+ may see smaller percentage gains but still meaningful improvements in specific sections. The key is consistent practice between sessions and targeted work on your weakest areas—tutoring provides the strategy and accountability to make study time count.

Yes, absolutely. These sections test specific concepts—circuits, pulleys, gears, pressure—that can be learned and practiced. Many students haven't seen this material since middle school science, so a tutor can break down the core principles in a way that sticks. The trick is understanding the underlying logic rather than memorizing facts; for example, learning how simple machines work helps you solve multiple question types. With targeted instruction and visual practice problems, students typically see solid gains in these sections within 4-6 weeks.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or fear of time pressure. Repeated practice tests under realistic conditions—same timing, same question types—desensitize you to the experience and build confidence. A tutor can also teach you specific strategies like deep breathing before difficult sections, how to reset mentally after a tough question, and how to reframe mistakes as learning opportunities during practice. Knowing you've practiced similar problems dozens of times reduces the panic response when test day arrives.

Word Knowledge questions test vocabulary in context, so memorizing a random word list is less effective than learning word roots, prefixes, and suffixes that help you decode unfamiliar words. A tutor can teach you to recognize patterns—for example, words starting with 'un-' or 'mis-' typically have negative meanings. You'll also practice using context clues from the sentence to narrow down answers. Spaced repetition of challenging words over weeks, combined with these decoding strategies, builds both vocabulary and test-taking confidence faster than cramming.

Word problems are tricky because they require you to identify what information matters, set up the equation correctly, and solve it—three separate skills. A tutor breaks this down: first, you learn to underline key numbers and identify what you're solving for; second, you practice translating common phrases ('per' means divide, 'total' means add) into operations; third, you work backwards from answers to check your setup. Many students improve dramatically once they see that word problems follow predictable patterns, and tutoring helps you recognize and solve those patterns quickly.

Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of consistent prep, spending 5-10 hours per week on practice and instruction. A typical week might include one tutoring session (1-2 hours), two practice test sections (2-3 hours), and targeted review of weak areas (2-3 hours). Front-load diagnostic work to identify your gaps, then spend the bulk of your time on those sections rather than reviewing material you already know. A tutor helps you create a personalized schedule and adjust it based on progress—this focused approach is far more effective than random studying for months.
