Eliane

Biology Tutor • +13 Subjects

I have obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Developmental Psychology from the Ohio State University with honors distinction and summa cum laude. In high school, I tutored geometry, algebra I, and algebra II. In college, I was a teaching assistant in human physiology, which has many of the same foundations as biology. Throughout my years as a tutor, I have developed an immense passion for helping teach the next generations. I greatly enjoy helping others achieve their goals and learn new material. My favorite subject is biology, as that is my major and the area in which I have the most expertise. During my time teaching human physiology, I often had over 700 students per class, so I quickly learned how to tailor my tutoring and teaching to match each student's individual learning style, as not all of my 700+ students learned the exact same way. I believe that all students have unique preferred methods of learning and I like to tailor my teaching to whatever will help the student best, whether that is providing practice questions, walking the students through examples, providing mnemonic devices, or even drawing diagrams that illustrate the information. In my spare time, I enjoy workouts such as pilates and yoga, playing piano, sketching, and spending time with my pet lizard, Dina.

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.
