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 the U.S. military to assess your strengths, abilities, and career potential. Your score determines military job eligibility, enlistment qualification, and branch placement. For students in Salt Lake City considering military service, a strong ASVAB score opens doors to better career opportunities and higher starting ranks.
The ASVAB includes nine subtests: Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, General Science, Electronics Information, Mechanical Comprehension, Assembling Objects, and Auto & Shop Information. Most students find math and science sections challenging, while reading comprehension often requires strategic test-taking skills rather than just content knowledge. Personalized tutoring helps you target your specific weak areas instead of reviewing everything in a classroom setting.
In a classroom, teachers must move at one pace for 20-30 students with varying needs. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets you focus exclusively on your weak sections—whether that's mechanical reasoning, electronics, or math concepts—while skipping material you've already mastered. Tutors can also teach you military-specific test strategies and time management techniques tailored to your learning style, which significantly improves both speed and accuracy on test day.
Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of focused preparation, depending on their starting level and target score. Students who work with tutors often see measurable improvement in 6-8 weeks through consistent, targeted practice. The timeline varies based on which sections need the most work—some students strengthen weak areas quickly, while others benefit from deeper foundational review in math or science concepts.
Many students struggle with Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge because the test emphasizes problem-solving speed under pressure, not just accuracy. Mechanical Comprehension and Electronics Information trip up students who haven't had hands-on experience with these concepts. Additionally, time management is critical—you have limited time per section, so test-taking strategy matters as much as content knowledge. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific challenges with targeted practice and confidence-building.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but students typically see 20-50 point increases in their AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score with focused preparation. Some students gain 100+ points by addressing fundamental gaps in math or reading comprehension. Consistent practice with a tutor, combined with strategic test-taking techniques, helps you maximize your potential and qualify for the military jobs you're interested in.
Your first session starts with a diagnostic assessment to identify your strengths and weaknesses across all ASVAB sections. The tutor will discuss your military career goals and timeline, then create a personalized study plan focused on the areas where you'll gain the most improvement. This targeted approach ensures you're spending time efficiently on what matters most for your score and goals.
