ACT English Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am currently a doctoral student at St. Johns University, working towards obtaining a Psy.D. in School Psychology. I graduated from Cornell University, where I studied Child Development. I absolutely love working with students of all ages. I have the most experience working with preschoolers with autism, but have also worked with adolescents with various behavioral difficulties. For the last few years, I have tutored college-age students in several subjects including Psychology, English and Statistics. I took the GRE fairly recently so I feel very comfortable tutoring students to prepare for that exam, as well as the ACT. My graduate program is designed to prepare me to work with students of all ages and all ability levels, so I feel confident that I can help a variety of clients. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, dancing, playing tennis, and doing crossword puzzles.

Gerta

ACT Math Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of South Florida Sasarota-Manatee. I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Since graduation, I opened my own business in retail and I am trying to find a job as an accountant. My final goal is to be a CPA. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics. I always loved tutoring and it is a passion I discovered since my first grade. I took the time to help everyone who needed help. When I started college I started working as a tutor and the best feeling in the world was to see how I could get through to other students and help them. Also, I have tutored students in private and help them prepare for SAT and ACT. I know how stressful it is to prepare for Standardized Tests but I believe with hard work anything is possible. I am a firm believer in education, as an important step in the ladder of career and life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and dancing.

Elizabeth

ACCUPLACER Arithmetic Tutor • +113 Subjects

Teaching is my personal calling. I have worked with children and adults for the last 17 years, teaching in many different opportunities at many different levels. I taught at a Kumon math and reading center for 8 years where I developed my own reading program as well as mastered the Kumon mathematics learning system. I have a BA and formerly was a credentialed teacher. I taught special education as a school resource teacher and worked with students from Kindergarten to 12th grade. I also worked as a substitute teacher which exposed me to many different types of assignments from diverse teachers at diverse schools. I am extremely adept at teaching using state standards and I make learning fun and enjoyable for all of my students. I believe that assessment is as important as teaching because it allows me to know if my teaching is effective as well as allowing me to know what my student already knows, what they need to know, and their personal strengths and weaknesses. I worked as a Behavioral Therapist for children with autism and I am extremely patient. If my student is not learning, that is something that I take personal responsibility for and I change my methods until I find the one that matches my student. I believe every person has the potential to excel at any subject if they find the right teacher. I work hard to be that teacher and I have successfully taught thousands of students during my time in the teaching profession. I look forward to meeting new students and changing the world, one student at a time!

Walker

ACT Prep Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a mentor because I wish for others to have the same opportunity for motivation and success as I had from my teachers in high school. My mentoring experience has been primarily in three different areas. First, I have had direct involvement mentoring middle school students in mathematics through my local dentist's office. From there, I quickly learned that no experience is quite as unique or as rewarding as seeing a child have that light bulb moment when they finally understand a difficult problem or concept. Additionally, the lesson does not stop with just academics either. I have found that, in developing relationships with these students, I got to better understand them as people and adjust my methods accordingly. My second experience mentoring comes directly from teaching English to children of all ages in Oudong, Cambodia. Due to my limited understanding of the local language and teaching multiple levels of English at once, I was compelled to be creative to ensure all of my students understood our lessons. I developed lesson plans around the curriculum that featured games, singing, and dancing, finding alternative methods of expressing meaning to be very important in learning difficult concepts. This has had important ramifications for my style of mentoring; creativity and being able to think of ideas in different matters are useful to everyone trying to learn something new. Lastly, I have had the opportunity to extend my understanding of others in my work as a Democracy Fellow. Part of the mission of my university's Democracy and Public Discourse Initiative is to teach constructive practices of engagement and communication on topics of community concern. Through such projects as our freshman mental health conversations and our forum on substance abuse in in the county, I have learned that the best work is done on the grounds of a common understanding amongst diverse viewpoints. Ultimately, I hope to extend my training and the basic philosophy of freedom of expression as a method of making my mentees feel welcome in conversing with me.

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.
