Ed

Accounting Tutor • +15 Subjects

My interests and academic skills have been numerous and varied over the course of my life and I have my parents to thank for that gift. The son of two educators, I learned at a very young age the value of study and aquired the tools necessary to perform well in most academic environments, as a reader, a writer, and a critical thinker. The skills of learning one subject can often help us learn others and it is my hope, as a tutor, that I can help you develop not just the knowledge you need but the skills to aquire such knowledge more easily. With these, and a few simple test taking tactics, you will gain confidence in your knowledge and your ability test well on these subjects.I have an MBA in public and non-profit management (same core work as an MBA + an extra semester and a half of non-profit coursework, so have been through the battery of courses to prepare and complete a management program. I was also a physics student for much of my undergraduate schooling, so I have a strong aptitude for maths and many of the sciences. If you are interested in tutoring in areas of business study (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Economics, etc...), maths through pre-calculus, basic sciences, or test preparation in the ACT, SAT, GMAT or Praxis, I am a good fit for you. Happy learning!

Amaris

American Literature Tutor • +23 Subjects

My goal in life is to make a difference in anybody's life. It could be one person or the world - it would mean everything to me. I want the chance to help people, and do something that could make them happy. It is this reason that I decided to study Political Science and Latin America & Latino Studies in the Pre-Law track at the University of Illinois-Chicago. I have the opportunity to help individuals with their needs and what they want to see be changed in the world around them. This is also why I enjoy tutoring because students want to be better themselves, and I know I can help them achieve that.

Anna

ACT English Tutor • +4 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Brandeis University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education Studies and History. While my Education Studies coursework focused on secondary education, I love working with children of all ages and have been lucky to have opportunities to work with students in age groups ranging from from preschool to high school and with a wide variety of needs. I first started tutoring in high school as part of my National Honor Society chapter, and I believe academic achievement is a matter of matching individual students with the learning approaches best suited to them and that with the right approach, learning can be enjoyable for anyone. It is my goal while tutoring to help students realize just how much they can do. When I'm free, I love biking ,reading any material I can find, and counting down the days to the newest Disney release.

Nelson

AP Environmental Science Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am an educator at heart and a scientist by discipline. I caught the teaching bug as an Undergraduate student working as a Teacher's Assistant. The IMPACT program gave me my first opportunity to work with young students, and I loved it. I was honored by the program as an Awesome Science Mentor, leading chemistry, geography, and geology lab activities. After I received my degree I worked as an Intern at a learning center. I worked as a counselor and workshop leader for 5th-12th graders. I continued my work there as the first Sustainable Agriculture Intern for the facility, building the infrastructure for future interns. Working as an educator is something I am passionate about. Making education fun is how I am working to make the future a brighter place.

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.
