Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into equations, geometry concepts involving angles and spatial reasoning, and algebra problems with multiple steps. The ASVAB math section also tests practical arithmetic under time pressure—percentages, ratios, and unit conversions—where small calculation errors can cascade. Many students find the timed format itself challenging, as they need to balance accuracy with speed across 16 questions in just 20 minutes.
Effective pacing on ASVAB math requires knowing which question types to tackle first and which to skip strategically. A tutor can help you identify your strongest problem types and attack those immediately to build confidence and secure points, then return to harder problems with remaining time. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they reveal where you're losing seconds to overthinking or calculation errors, allowing you to develop a personalized rhythm that works for your skill level.
ASVAB word problems require you to extract relevant information from text, ignore distractors, and set up the correct equation—all while managing time pressure. Many students rush through reading and misidentify what the question is actually asking. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key numbers, define your variable clearly, write out the equation before solving, and always check if your answer makes sense in context. Breaking word problems into these steps dramatically improves both accuracy and confidence.
ASVAB geometry questions test angle relationships, area/perimeter, and the ability to visualize 3D shapes from 2D drawings. Many students haven't practiced these concepts since middle school. A tutor can review essential formulas, teach you how to sketch problems to clarify what you're solving for, and provide strategies for recognizing common angle patterns and shape relationships. Practice with actual ASVAB-style geometry questions helps you move past confusion and build the visual intuition these problems demand.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment. Students who identify specific weak areas and work consistently with a tutor typically see 5-15 point improvements on the ASVAB math score, with some seeing larger gains if they're addressing fundamental skill gaps. The key is targeting your exact problem areas—whether that's calculation speed, understanding question formats, or mastering specific topics—rather than general review. Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation before test day.
Test anxiety on ASVAB math often stems from unfamiliarity with the format, fear of running out of time, or past negative experiences with timed tests. A tutor builds confidence by repeatedly exposing you to ASVAB-style questions under realistic time constraints, so the format becomes familiar rather than threatening. They can also teach you practical strategies like identifying which problems to skip, using estimation to check answers quickly, and managing negative self-talk during the test. As you practice and see your skills improve, anxiety naturally decreases.
Practice tests reveal exactly where your weak spots are—whether you're making careless errors, struggling with specific topics, or running out of time—in a way that studying individual problems cannot. They also condition you to the ASVAB format, question types, and pacing demands so test day feels familiar. A tutor uses your practice test results to prioritize what to focus on, ensuring your study time targets your actual gaps rather than topics you already know well.
An effective ASVAB math tutor understands the specific content and format of the ASVAB, not just general math. They should be able to diagnose whether your errors come from conceptual misunderstanding, careless mistakes, or time management issues—and adjust their teaching accordingly. They also need experience with test-taking strategy and the ability to help you build confidence under pressure. Look for tutors who use real ASVAB practice materials and can explain why wrong answer choices are traps, not just why the right answer is correct.
