ASVAB Tutor

James helped me tremendously to say the least. He was an absolute asset to me passing the AFCT with the score I needed to start a new career job within the military. I truly cannot thank him enough for the passion, understanding of my shortfalls in learning, and absolute drive he had to give it his all in helping me understand the ASVAB testing strategy. Without his help on countless sessions, I can honestly say I probably would not have gotten the score I needed. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH. If you want to pass with the scores you need on the ASVAB, hire him to be your tutor. You will be happy you did.

Knowledgeable and organized in delivery.

This is my first session and we are getting acclimated and it seems to be going well. He has been breaking lessons down to meet my needs and my time schedule. So far so good!
