I believe that education is one of the most important aspects of a young person's life. Students aren't incapable of learning just because they are struggling in a subject; they simply need ideas to be conveyed in terms that they can understand. In a classroom setting, it is very difficult for a tea...

Mary

College English Tutor • +7 Subjects

Active learning should be a lifelong process. I have loved school, reading, research, writing, analysis -- everything about learning -- since I was very young. I have two post-secondary degrees and am likely to seek at least one more because the process of learning is so cool.Active learning should also be individual because we are all the result of different families, communities, interests, and goals. I have "learned" something years after first attempting it because I was at a different point in my life or the material was presented differently when it clicked.I want to help those who need assistance actively "learn," not memorize material. My enthusiasm, ferocious curiosity and readiness for a new challenge make me well-suited to do it.

Nancy

ACT Writing Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am a rising junior at Washington and Lee University working towards a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Poverty and Human Capabilities Studies. These subjects call to me because the skills they cultivate are rooted in people. The takeaway I hope most to gain from it all is the ability to uncover what literature has to say about how we can help people overcome personal, as well as societal, obstacles. My appreciation for books lends itself well to a love of tutoring students in reading and writing. As a result, I have helped many a friend craft and edit papers for college admissions. Even so, I possess a solid background in mathematics as well. Three years of calculus not only solidified my abilities in integration and derivation, but likewise ensured my constant use of concepts found in algebra, trigonometry, and pre-calculus. I often peer tutored students in my high school mathematics courses, sometimes receiving calls late in the night to provide someone with assistance. Still, no matter what the topic, I stay true to my goal to instill in my students the confidence to tackle any problem they may encounter. When I am not contemplating the next novel to add to my boundless list of must-reads, I might be found listening to classical music, practicing martial arts, or appreciating an unfamiliar film with my family.

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.
