As someone with both a Masters and a Doctorate in Education, I believe that education is the catalyst for limitless opportunities. Tutoring students in test taking strategies, specifically in TAKS, STARR, ASVAB, and SAT/ACT subjects, provides a great sense of satisfaction. This is because many students miss opportunities simply because of test

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ASVAB
My academic skills and knowledge of testing strategies is what I offer for this assessment. I have spent more than 25 years working with the US Military in one aspect or another. I have trained educators on understanding the ASVAB test. I was in public education for five years prior to working for the federal government. The key to doing well on the ASVAB is applying sound test taking strategies coupled with your normal academic skills. Time management is the area most test takers run into difficulties.

As the Director of Education for the U.S. Army in Texas, I have the responsibility of demonstrating study materials used by potential applicants.
