Hi. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you to assist you in becoming the best you can be.

I have a B.A. in Applied Mathematics (including Statistics) and Economics from The Johns Hopkins University, where I graduated with a 3.96 GPA and earned admission into the Phi Beta Kappa Honors Society. I also have an MBA in Finance and Public Policy from The Wharton School, where I earned admission into the Beta Gamma Sigma Honors Society. I have taken two SAT prep courses, with transferable skills to the ACT, GMAT, GRE, ASVAB and other standardized tests. I have been a Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Consultant, and have been in the financial services industry for over 29 years.

People of all ages feel comfortable with me immediately. I have 4 children of my own (ages 20-29) (AND NOW 3 GRANDCHILDREN!), and kept my tutoring skills very sharp on a nightly basis! I was extremely successful in customizing my approach to each member of that crew, so I can certainly do it for you or your child. Let's put it this way: They would "rehire" me every night, so I must have done something right!

I would love to assist you. Thank you for your consideration.

MTLE

Taking the MTLE Mathematics exam can be a daunting task. Because its goal is to test your classroom readiness across the spectrum of content, it covers a lot of ground. This breadth can make it hard to know how to prepare. Luckily, if you understand how the test is organized and what it is testing, you will have no problem prepping for this test. In order to cover everything, the exam is broken into two subtests – which are then broken down into a total of five subareas Number Sense / Functions, Algebra, and Calculus / Measurement and Geometry / Data, Probability, and Discrete Math / Mathematical Processes). I have a B.A. in Applied Mathematics (including Statistics) and Economics from The Johns Hopkins University, where I graduated with a 3.96 GPA. I also have an MBA in Finance from The Wharton School. I have taken two SAT prep courses, with transferable skills to the ACT, GMAT, GRE, ASVAB and other standardized tests. The skills I have acquired through my education and thousands of hours of tutoring will fit perfectly to enable you to maximize your score on the MTLE Mathematics exam. Let's work together to enable you to achieve your goals!

It consists of three tests: the Arithmetic Test; the Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics Test; and the Advanced Algebra and Functions Test. With my undergraduate degree in Applied Mathematics from The Johns Hopkins University, in which I earned a 3.96 GPA and entrance into the Phi Beta Kappa Honors Society, I am well equipped to assist you in achieving your goals for the quantitative sections of the Accuplacer. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey to success!
AFOQT,

AFOQT

The Air Force Officer Qualification Test (AFOQT) is a standardized test that measures verbal and mathematical aptitude (similar to the SAT and ACT) as well as additional aptitudes relevant to specific career fields. The test is used to select applicants for Air Force ROTC as well as Officer Training School (OTS). I have tutored scores of ASVAB students for hundreds of hours, enabling them to succeed on that exam. When that experience is combined with my B.A. in Applied Mathematics (3.96 GPA), as well as my teaching experience in all of the math and verbal disciplines relevant to the AFOQT, I can certainly assist you on your way to success.

CBEST,

CBEST

The questions in the CBEST Mathematics section require you to solve mathematical problems. Most of the questions are presented as word problems. The questions are from three skill factors: (1) estimation, measurement, and statistical principles; (2) computation and problem solving; and (3) numerical and graphic relationships. Considering that I have a B.A. in Applied Mathematics (including Statistics) from The Johns Hopkins University, where I graduated with a 3.96 GPA, as well as having tutored in these exact subjects for 13 years, I certainly have the transferable skills to enable you to excel on your CBEST exam.

CLAST

The FTCE Math 6-12 Test consists of questions about a variety of topics relating to Algebra and Number Systems, Geometry and Trigonometry, Statistics and Probability, Functions and Calculus, and Mathematics Process and Instruction. Taking the FTCE Mathematics 6-12 exam can be a daunting task. I am here to help. I earned a 3.96 GPA for my BA In Applied Mathematics from The Johns Hopkins University, and have been tutoring students to pass their quantitative standardized tests for over 13 years. The Math 6-12 is difficult but it's not impossible to pass. As long as you have effective study tips to help you in your practice tests and study guides, there's no reason why you can't prepare very well for it. Let's do this together!
COOP/HSPT,

COOP/HSPT

The HSPT is the most commonly used high school entrance test given to 8th-grade students applying to private Catholic schools. The test may be taken only once. If applying to multiple schools, the same result will be submitted. If multiple tests are taken, the lower score is considered to be the final score. The HSPT is extremely challenging because it tests students in five areas of learning that measure verbal ability, quantitative ability, reading comprehension, mathematics, and components of written language It follows more of the traditional curriculum so students who are not exposed to this kind of course program may exceptionally find the test difficult and need to prepare more. The HSPT has the largest time constraint of the tests. There are approximately 300 multiple-choice questions to be answered within 2 hours and 30 minutes so students only have 30 seconds to answer each question. Verbal skills are measured through analogies and logic-based questions. Math and quantitative skills are tested through basic knowledge and skills in arithmetic, geometry, and algebra. I am ready, willing, and able to share my mastery of these subjects with YOU!
ISEE,

ISEE

The Middle Level Exam is given to students applying for entrance to seventh or eighth grade, while the Upper Level Exam is given to students applying for entrance to ninth, tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade. For both exams, the Quantitative Reasoning section focuses primarily on problem-solving skills and critical thinking. There are 18-21 word problems and 14-17 quantitative comparison questions for a total of 37 questions. Of the 37 questions, 32 are scored and 5 are unscored. My vast experience in ASVAB, SAT, and GRE quantitative tutoring, as well as my undergraduate degree in Applied Mathematics from The Johns Hopkins University (3.96 GPA), equip me perfectly to be able to assist your student to excel on the ISEE exam. Let's chat and get on the road to success!

Exceptionally Joyful & Intelligent!

After my first session with Jeff, I immediately knew that I had found the perfect tutor for me! Jeff is exceptionally knowledgable and patient. He is always in the most positive, upbeat mood (super helpful when reviewing quantitative material), and goes out of his way to ensure that I fully understand the problem. I really enjoy working with Jeff, and he has alleviated a lot of confusion that I initially had when preparing for the GRE. Highly recommend!

My tutor

Got right down to basics which I appreciate. Understood my interest in just learning what i need to know to pass an exam, thereby saving me time and money. looking forward to the next lesson.

Michael, 4 lessons with Jeffrey

The best!

I have been working with Jeff since early October to obtain a higher asvab score. Throughout my two months of working with Jeff he was nothing short of patient, reassuring, humorous, and knowledgeable. Jeff allowed me to work at my own pace every time and when I felt I had did something wrong- he walked me through every step to ensure I knew where I had made a mistake; whether it was simple or complex. To say I recommend Jeff is an understatement, everyone deserves to know and tutor with Jeff. His one of a kind approach and tricks helped me excel scoring above what I intended too. Jeff there are no words to thank you! You rock!

Excellent teacher

My daughter enjoyed the session with Jeffery . She was motivated and is looking forward to more lessons. That should tell you a lot about the teacher. He is engaging , makes concepts clear and easy to understand .

Huma, 4 lessons with Jeffrey

great teacher

Mr. Jeffery ensured that I was able to test my own knowledge by allowing me to solve problems on my own. When I was stuck he took the time to explain the problem in two different ways to ensure that I grasped what concepts work best for me. When I grasped a concept he further tested my knowledge by creating a math problem on the spot. To add to this Mr. Jeffery also ensured that he gave me conversions ahead of time to quickly reference as we progressed throughout the questions he had readily available. Mr. Jeffrey had patience with me and reassured me that I could be confident in my skills. Furthermore, he left me with homework to ensure that I continue to practice. Lastly, his understanding approach ensured that I had a comfortable learning environment! Thank you for your patience/time. I look forward to continuing our future tutoring sessions.
