About Dywaine

Bio

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 results. Most students have the academic capabilities, but simply don't have a sound testing strategy.

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 results. Most students have the academic capabilities, but simply don't have a sound testing strategy.

In addition, helping students in English comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, and writing establishes the foundation needed for every core subject. While performing as a 4th and 5th grade teacher, students enjoyed a tough, thorough, rigorous academic environment that was results oriented.

My teaching method seeks to identify and maximize on the students' strengths.

Test Preparation

ASVAB,

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.
TAKS,

TAKS

As the Director Education for the U.S. Army in Texas, responsible for training educators to use numerous test taking tutorials including those used with the SAT, ACT, TAKS, STARR and other state mandated examinations. These tutorials provide students with academic and study skills in language arts, math, science.

See all reviews successful great tutor patient focused flexible

Patient and clear communicator

Dywaine was a great fit for my son. He provided some very specific feedback and assigned him work to hold him accountable. My son is looking forward to his next lesson and is excited about his potential!

Julia, 4 lessons with Dywaine

He is laid back and I was able to understand him

"I am feeling pretty good more about my vocabulary knowledge"' my son stated. The ASVAB is what the focus has been. The sessions are structured for my son and includes the follow up needed to help him see his progress or lack thereof

Dr Dionne, 19 lessons with Dywaine

Great tutor!

Dywaine gave our 15 year old great test-taking strategies that have already made a difference. We look forward to continuing to have him tutor him regularly. He responded to our inquiries promptly and was very flexible with regard to scheduling sessions around our busy schedules.

Jozi, 2 lessons with Dywaine

Exceptional Tutor

Dywaine really gets the children to communicate what they understand and what they need to work on. It's easy to use payment system. It takes a few minutes and you're set up. I recommend it to everyone looking for a tutor for they're child/children.

Jay, 5 lessons with Dywaine

Perfect for Kids!

Dywaine is very compassionate and patient and extremely supportive. My son struggles in math and Dywaine was very kind to him and helped build his confidence to help him feel more comfortable with math. I highly recommend you call Dywaine if you have a child who needs a self-esteem boost along with some great tutoring in math!

Kenna, 7 lessons with Dywaine

Great Tutor

My husband and I were impressed and thought he would give our daughter the help she needs to pass the staar test.

Susan, 7 lessons with Dywaine

Great Tutor

I am very lucky that I found Dr. Dywaine. My child had been out of school for a while and needed the confidence to get back into studying. Dr. Dywaine was able to put my child at ease. He is calm and knowledgeable. I highly recommended Dr. Dywaine!

Nadira, 7 lessons with Dywaine

Excellent tutor!

Dywaine had a flexible schedule and was able to meet with me consistently in a short amount of time. I took the ASVAB and scored a 60. After 4 weeks of him tutoring me, I scored a 92! He taught me how to take the test, and how to study for it. I would recommend him to anyone! He is professional and very knowledgeable of the ASVAB and the military overall. Thank you!
