ACT Writing Tutor • +15 Subjects

I have always had a passion for working with young people. I worked for the Baton Rouge Youth Coalition throughout my entire college career helping students in math. One of my greatest joys was seeing my students improve academically and celebrating with them as they gained admission to the colleges of their dreams. My involvement with the young people at BRYC as a teacher, mentor, and friend over the years has been some of the most meaningful work I have been involved in and I would love to continue that work with students in Houston.I had the opportunity to teach a section of Honors 1000 undergraduate students which made me more sensitive to the needs of college students academically and socially and my first job out of college involved working with young people at the Posse Foundation as a Trainer. In that role I served as a mentor, counselor, tutor, college advisor, and friend. I developed and strengthened many of my skills at that time including my skills at facilitating workshops and developing lesson plans, my verbal, written, and public speaking communication skills, time management, and my ability to organize and prioritize tasks in a dynamic working environment with people from diverse backgrounds.I believe that my skill set and experience working with young people would be particularly helpful in working as a Varsity Tutor and I am hopeful that I will be able to share my knowledge with you. Thank you!

Becky

ACT English Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from Siena College and I am now currently living in New Jersey for the summer. At Siena, I was a biology major and a religious studies minor. I also wrote a senior thesis that was primarily focused on social psychology. In the fall, I will be starting law school at Notre Dame Law School, and will hopefully attain my J.D in the next few years. Aside from my academic interests, I also enjoy traveling and photography, as well as learning about other cultures. I also enjoy finding cool coffee shops, going on hikes, and practicing yoga.In the past, I have tutored students through Kumon Education Company. I have also been a teaching assistant for a scientific writing class, as well as tutored peers throughout my undergrad. I also was given the opportunity to teach English in Bolivia last summer. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and English, because I think both subjects can be mastered through practice, and don't necessarily require memorization. I believe that in order for someone to master a subject, he or she must practice the methods necessary to do so, and be able to solve the problems individually.

Alison

AP Music Theory Tutor • +16 Subjects

I offer tutoring in all levels and areas of music theory, AP Music Theory course and testing materials, music appreciation, state-certification exam materials, and any choral or instrumental class materials. I have 20 years of teaching experience in multiple subject areas of music, including test preparation for music entrance/exit exams. I consider exam preparation to by my greatest strength in teaching. With so many years of experience in classrooms from early elementary through college, I have a wide range of knowledge and familiarity with exam standards.I graduated from Abilene Christian University with a Bachelor's in Music Education, and I am currently a certified classroom teacher in the state of Texas. My certification is PreK-12 in Vocal and Instrumental Music. I have taught choral music in the public schools of Texas and Oklahoma to grades PreK-12 and have also served as assistant band director at the middle school and high school levels.During my time in the choral music classroom, I taught AP Music Theory at Conroe High School. I received my Master's in Music Theory from the University of Oklahoma. I taught on the music theory faculty at Sam Houston State University for five years, where I taught all levels of Music Theory and Sight Singing/Ear Training to music majors, and Music Appreciation to non-majors, both in-person and online. I am a professional accompanist in the local area, and I currently teach private voice and piano lessons.Teaching is my passion, no matter what type of classroom setting I'm in. I feel that I am able to reach students just as personally online as in person, and I firmly believe that every student can have a solid understanding of the course or exam materials. I take as many approaches as I can to reach each one of my students as an individual learner, and I always find a way to share a bond with them that will aid in their success.

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.
