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 skills and determine eligibility for enlistment and job placement. Your score influences which military branches you can join, what positions you qualify for, and your starting rank. For students in Houston, performing well on the ASVAB opens doors to meaningful career opportunities in military service.
The ASVAB includes nine subtests covering General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Electronics Information, Auto and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, and Assembling Objects. These sections test both academic knowledge (math, reading, science) and practical reasoning skills. Personalized tutoring helps you identify which areas need the most focus based on your strengths and the military job you're targeting.
In a classroom of 16+ students, it's difficult for teachers to address individual gaps in math fundamentals, reading comprehension, or mechanical reasoning. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on your specific weak areas, teach to your learning style, and create a customized study plan aligned with your military career goals. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement and higher confidence on test day.
Many students struggle with Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge because these sections require both computational skills and problem-solving under time pressure. Others find Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension challenging if reading comprehension isn't a strength. Mechanical Comprehension and Electronics Information can also be tough for students without hands-on experience in those areas. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in breaking down these difficult concepts and building test-taking strategies.
Your first session typically includes an assessment of your current skills, a discussion of your military career goals, and an overview of which ASVAB sections need the most work. The tutor will identify your learning style and strengths, then outline a personalized study plan with realistic timelines and milestones. This foundation ensures every future session is focused and productive.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of consistent tutoring before taking the ASVAB, though this varies based on your starting level and how much time you can dedicate to studying. Students who work with tutors on a weekly basis while completing practice problems between sessions typically see measurable score improvements within 3-4 weeks. Your tutor will help you set a realistic timeline based on your current skills and target score.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students working with personalized tutoring typically see gains of 10-30+ points on the AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score within 4-6 weeks. The most dramatic improvements usually happen in math and reading sections where targeted instruction addresses specific skill gaps. Your tutor will track progress through practice tests and adjust strategies to maximize your results.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have deep expertise in military entrance exams, standardized test preparation, and the specific content areas covered on the ASVAB. Many have military backgrounds or extensive experience helping students achieve their enlistment goals. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver high-quality, personalized instruction tailored to your needs and timeline.
