Bio

First and foremost, I want to thank you for considering me as your expert!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice (3.6 GPA) in addition to IXL certification.

My primary focus on Wyzant are military entrance exams such as the ASVAB or AFOQT. My previous ASVAB scores were 97, 97, and 93.

For more than 1200 hours, I have been helping students of all ages with various subjects, most often Mathematics Knowledge and Arithmetic Reasoning. To prove my expertise and skill, I only took...

For more than 1200 hours, I have been helping students of all ages with various subjects, most often Mathematics Knowledge and Arithmetic Reasoning. To prove my expertise and skill, I only took 25 minutes to finish a 90 minute exam!

My approach to Mathematics and Arithmetic is to find the easiest/fastest ways to solve the problem in question. With me as your tutor, you will learn several new ways to break down and manipulate problems that you've likely never considered before.

If you're ready to turn the tides in your favor and achieve/exceed your goals, I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Back in the mid-to-late 1800's, the U.S.A. experienced economic booms because of John Rockefeller's oil, Andrew Carnegie's steel, and J.P. Morgan's banks.

THE GOAT

Charlie is helping prep for the ASVAB and did a wonderful job in helping me increase my score. When I first took the ASVAB my score was not of passing. After being tutored from him, I passed the ASVAB and exceeded my own expectations. Charlie is also reliable, and flexible to adjusting to your learning style.

Life Saver, very patient and knowledgeable

Charlie is a very knowledgeable tutor when it comes to the AFOQT. I was coming in with a 2 on the quantitative for the AFOQT with 1 more opportunity to pass, and with Charlie's help, I was able to pass with a 35. He was a tremendous help with his tips and aid on how to break down problems, as well as solve them quickly. Coming from someone who is not the greatest at math, he is very patient in explaining each problem if need be and is knowledgeable in solving them in various ways. He always responds in a timely manner and will help as much as he can. I highly recommend him as a tutor for the AFOQT as he will surely help you improve your score!

Great teacher

Karl, 6 lessons with Charlie

Super knowledge and life saver

I took my asvab test originally and got a low score where I wasn’t even eligible to join the Air Force. I told myself to just study harder and that’s when I found Charlie on here. I messaged him and he got back to me right away and I felt relieved I was going to get help on my math. He really helps you break down math problems and manipulate them to find the problems easier. I nearly doubled my asvab score the next time I took it. If it wasn’t for Charlie, I would’ve never had the peace of mind over my hard time learning math all over again. Thank you again Charlie and recommend nobody, but him!!
