Bryan

10th Grade Tutor • +156 Subjects

I love teaching and getting to know my students! My goal in every course I teach is to make the complicated simple and easy to understand. I have taught a variety of subjects and age groups. I currently teach psychology and statistics at Glendale Community College and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish. I look forward to my time working with students and will do everything I can to help you succeed in your class!

AP Biology Tutor • +9 Subjects

I have taught several years at the undergraduate level in New York City and in New Jersey. Although I was completely comfortable lecturing during my large classes, as an instructor, I made every effort to work one-on-one with my students during office hours and through appointments. I am currently working as a research associate, yet I plan on teaching at the college level again in the future. I would love to continue to hone my craft as a teacher and educator through working with Varsity Tutors!

Maximilian

Business Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a graduate of Hawaii Pacific University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and took 2 1/2 years of science based classes towards a Biology major initially having the goal of becoming a medical doctor. Growing up in Hawaii with parents from Europe and Asia, I've traveled extensively to visit family all around the globe. I worked as a Group Leader at the YMCA supervising a group of 90 kids (ages K-5) and also filled in for professors. My peers always joked that I was "teacher's pet." While I enjoy all things academic, I find learning languages and the culture behind them especially fascinating as they can provide a form of unity. I'm drawn to the ocean having lived in Hawaii, Southern California, and now Palm Beach County. In my free time I enjoy exploring the great outdoors and my guilty pleasure is watching random clips on Youtube while enjoying a good meal.

Brittany

College English Tutor • +20 Subjects

I'm a proud Old Ag (class of 2011) and recent University of Texas Grad. I received my BA from Texas A&M in International Affairs and Spanish and my MA in Journalism. Most recently, I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate Journalism classes. I worked with students on their writing and multi-media skills. I have also taught adult ESL classes. However, my interest in education and teaching developed much earlier. My mom has been a teacher since I was a child, she and her co-worker friends taught me the importance constantly learning and growing. I am passionate about art, writing, foreign languages and history. My favorite subject area is Spanish. I am incredibly proud of my mastery of the language. I would love to help other students realize that they are capable of doing the same.

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.
