Courtney
1st Grade Math Tutor • +52 Subjects
My philosophy as an educator is that every child can learn. I believe that often in education children are given up on if they cannot grasp a concept when in fact it is the education system that is failing the child. Every child has their own way of learning, and as an educator, it is my mission to make sure that every child achieves his/her goals.I am originally from Orlando, FL but relocated to Massachusetts a little over a year ago. I went to the University of Central Florida where I obtained my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I have six years experience in education and five years experience as a tutor. I love spending time outdoors with my family and watching sporting events.
Kouame
Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am currently at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a bachelor degree in petroleum engineering. Since January 2016, I have been tutoring Math and Physics at my current college. These two subjects are my favorites because I am proficient. My tutoring style consists in having my students complete some practice problems that encompass the concepts they do not understand in order to identify their needs and help them master what could not before. My interests outside of academia consist in playing soccer and swimming. Also, I like to watch documentaries and movies, to read books, and to go for a walk in my neighborhood.
Robert
Academic Coaching Tutor • +40 Subjects
After transferring from a community college, I graduated from Cornell University in 2020 and received a B.A. in philosophy with Distinction in All Subjects, 4.05 GPA. After, I became a tutor, with English reading and writing and philosophy as some of my subjects. I believe that the sharing and communication of knowledge is an important aspect of human life. I enjoy working with a variety of learning approaches and am glad to assist students and learners attain their potential. My personal areas of interest are the humanities, mathematics, and the sciences, and in particular, English, Latin, and philosophy. I believe that learning is a lifelong activity and part of human excellence. I wish you success in your own learning journey, and it is my joy to see you flourish in genuine understanding and knowledge.

Shabana
10th Grade Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, where I graduated with a BA in Political Science. I will begin graduate school this fall at Virginia Commonwealth University and will begin a position as a teaching assistant in the sociology department. During my undergraduate career, I have had several opportunities to work with my peers on projects and assignments. History, government, literature and writing are subjects that I have always enjoyed, and I love sharing my passion for them with high school and college students. I am always ready to share my insight and experiences in SAT testing and AP testing. I believe that the most important part of success for students is accommodating their personal learning and study preferences. Whether it’s the style of organizing notes or the need for background music during a session, each student must feel absolutely comfortable, and as a tutor I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy incorporating my interests and hobbies with my academic passions, and believe that all students can do the same. I am an avid reader and film watcher, and enjoy writing poetry and music with the help of my guitar.
Hannah
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a graduate of Park University. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a minor in English. I have extensive experience as a tutor and much of my tutoring experience has been with students from diverse backgrounds such as those in an English as a Second Language program. I enjoy encouraging my students and guiding them through their goals and assignments. I tutor numerous subjects which means that I have a broad range of education. I tutor Spanish, English, American Literature, English as a Second Language, Reading, and Writing. I'm passionate about these subjects and I encourage my students to set high goals for themselves while I also challenge them to set new goals each day. As a tutor, I constantly assess how my students are doing so that I may adjust my instruction to benefit their learning. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy creative writing, playing electric guitar, reading books in Spanish, and cooking.
Daisha
Adult Literacy Tutor • +23 Subjects
As an education enthusiast, I am dedicated to the process of learning through interactive efforts. I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates the various learning styles of auditory, visual, kinesthetic and those (like myself) that must physically feel the pen hit the paper. I am fun, friendly, and passionate about helping students succeed and gain confidence in subjects they may have felt uneasy about previously.
Stephanie
ACT Prep Tutor • +47 Subjects
I recently graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in Anthropology. As a tutor, I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers learning to read to adults preparing for the GED. I love history, science, math, and writing, and have a passion for the environment and social justice. However, I am excited to help students reach their goals in any subject area. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach as a tutor, where the students' goals are front and center, and we work together at a pace that is comfortable but achieves meaningful results. Outside of tutoring, I love spending time in nature, and am pursuing a career in the environmental field.
Ella
ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +40 Subjects
I like learning anything new and enjoy reading, but I'm not fond of school. I made good gradesonly when the subject interested me. However, I have always done very, very well onstandardized tests, probably because I read so much. I was a National Merit finalist and myLSAT score was in the 99th percentile. In today's system, that is about a 174. I attended lawschool at the University of Houston, graduated, passed the Texas bar with a decent score of 83,and practiced law for a long time. I quit practicing law when I moved to a small town in CentralTexas.I began tutoring about a few years ago and discovered that I truly enjoy the intellectualchallenge of tutoring and the opportunity to interact with a lot of bright, hard-working students. Ihad never tutored or taught before, so I read lots of study guides and picked out suggestionsand tactics that made sense to me. I look for multiple ways to illustrate concepts becauseeveryone understands information differently. My work with students is based on myexperience, what I have studied, and feedback from my students. I think that tackling a problemdirectly is usually faster than looking for a trick or shortcut.I also help students with their applications and enjoy tutoring in writing and similar topics.

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.
