My tutoring approach is one of coaching, mentoring, and helping the student understand exactly what level and detail of help that they need to get ahead. Combining the personal discipline learned during 20 years as a Naval Officer with the unique expertise learned in one-on-one communication with peers and sailors as well as my five children, I can help you or your child succeed. A Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, and a Math Minor help qualify me for tutoring in many subjects. My individualized tutoring methods also raised my step-son's Physics grade from a C to an A in one semester. I specialize in mathematics (basic arithmetic through calculus) but can help in many other subjects. Learning should be fun, but should also, at times, bring "Instant" results. I work to keep positive encouragement in every lesson, tutoring, or test preparation session. I speak fluent Spanish!
I love helping people! Whether it's learning math, writing, reading, etc. or playing sports, I really enjoy seeing other succeed via my assistance. I try to relate to students in whatever they enjoy and in doing so, apply concepts to our like interests to work through difficult subjects as well as to help foster a good, professional relationship. I have tutored several students in both math and English in the past and they have enjoyed resounding success and continue to reach out for my assistance. I look forward to working with and meeting many students and parents while helping them succeed in any way I can. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy playing sports (golf, basketball, softball, volleyball), playing with my dog, and hanging out with my wife. In addition, I am a meteorologist and oceanographer following my graduation at Penn State University with a BS in Meteorology. Finally, I am presently a student at MIT pursuing a Master's degree in Physical Oceanography.
As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Criminology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, being retired military and thirty year of law enforcement experience, I employ personalized teaching methods that cater to individual learning styles preparing for students for Police Officer Exams and ASVAB testing. My approach emphasizes building confidence and critical thinking skills, ensuring that each student not only masters the material but also develops a genuine interest in their studies. Currently teaching, I am motivated by the opportunity to guide students toward their academic goals, and I find fulfillment in witnessing their growth and success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring literature and engaging in community activities, which enrich my perspective and enhance my teaching practice.
I have been coaching students to their best performance in math for seven years. I am fluent in all levels of math, primary, secondary, and freshman/sophomore university level. I am also fluent with the mathematics which one may find on the ACT, SAT, GRE, ASVAB, CLEP test and most standardized test. My background in Engineering also gives me a level of confidence with computer science and general sciences such as physics and chemistry. I have over a year of study in each myself. Overall, I have had much success working with students in various languages and levels of computer programming.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a standardized test used by all branches of the military to assess your knowledge and skills across math, reading, science, and mechanical reasoning. Your score determines military job eligibility, enlistment qualification, and can affect your starting rank and pay. Scoring well opens doors to competitive military careers and specialized training opportunities.
The ASVAB includes nine subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, General Science, Electronics Information, Auto and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, and Assembling Objects. These sections measure both academic skills (math and reading) and practical knowledge (mechanical and technical reasoning). A personalized tutoring approach can target your weaker areas while reinforcing strengths across all sections.
The ASVAB uses an AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score ranging from 1-99, where your percentile is compared to national norms. Most military branches require a minimum AFQT score of 31-35 for enlistment, though competitive jobs may require scores of 50 or higher. Your overall score and individual subtest scores determine which military occupations you qualify for, making targeted improvement in specific areas especially valuable.
Many students struggle with the math sections (Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge), which require quick problem-solving under time pressure, and the mechanical reasoning sections, which test spatial visualization skills many haven't practiced. Reading comprehension can also be difficult when combined with strict time limits. Personalized tutoring addresses these gaps by building foundational skills and teaching test-specific strategies that classroom instruction often doesn't cover.
One-on-one tutoring is customized to your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, vocabulary, or mechanical concepts—rather than reviewing all topics at the same pace for everyone. A tutor can adapt explanations to your learning style, spend extra time on difficult concepts, and teach you strategies that work for your brain. With Ogden's average student-teacher ratio of 19.8:1, personalized instruction provides the focused attention that helps you make measurable score improvements.
Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of focused preparation, depending on their starting point and target score. If you're strong in most areas but weak in one or two sections, you might need just 4-6 weeks of targeted tutoring. Students needing broader skill-building may benefit from longer preparation. A tutor can assess your current level and create a realistic timeline based on your goals and available study time.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment or practice test to identify your current strengths and weaknesses across all ASVAB sections. The tutor will discuss your military career goals, timeline for taking the test, and any specific areas causing concern. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that prioritizes the sections where you'll see the biggest score improvements.
