Students will learn by looking at actual ASVAB problems and learning how to break them down into manageable chunks. We will interact through the use of the Outschool classroom as well as the video calls. The core-4 (AFQT) will be covered, this is the test one is required to pass before taking the full ASVAB and then accounts for a large part of the ASVAB score once the actual test begins. The AFQT is made up of Math Knowledge, Word Knowledge, Arithmetic Reasoning, and Paragraph Comprehension. Week 1 - Introduction to the course and outline of the approach that will be taken for each of the four parts of the core-4 of the ASVAB. First homework will be assigned in the form of a practice test. Week 2 - Review of homework will be completed and first set of Math Knowledge and then Reading skills will be taught. These will be practiced and then homework will be assigned. Week 3 - Review of homework will be completed first and then the second set of Math Knowledge and Reading skills will be taught. These will be practiced, along with the first set, and then homework will be assigned. Week 4 - Review of homework will be completed as well as a short review of the skills learned so far. The first set of Arithmetic Reasoning skills will be taught along with Math Knowledge skills. Reading will be practiced and then homework assigned in the form of a second practice test.

Hello! I'm Matthew and I'm excited to help you with your educational goals!
A little about the classes I teach:
- I teach Languages: English(Masters in TESOL), all levels, and Chinese, specialized for beginners.
- I also teach Math(Bachelors in Econ) especially helping students who seem to be lost find their way.
- Since 2016 I started to add standardized tests to my tutoring schedule. I have tutored dozens of students in each of the following standardized tests: IELTS, TOEFL, ASVAB, SAT
- One of my passions is History and I love to teach it as well. I teach Roman, Ottoman, and English language history.
My Background:
I started tutoring ESL when I was in college way back in 2004. I moved to Thailand to teach ESL in 2007 and taught there for one year. I returned to America and started to learn more about teaching and from 2009-2011 I continued tutoring ESL in the US. In 2012 I went back to Asia and taught ESL at a University in China for 4 years. After that time I decided to get my Masters Degree in TESOL so I came back to the states and recently completed that(summer 2019). From 2016-Today I have been doing small group and one-on-one teaching on the topics listed above.
Teaching Philosophy:
I believe in finding ways to get students intrinsically motivated. If a student has no desire to learn it will be a long road but if we can tap into their interests and find something they enjoy in our classes it really propels them along to continually improve.
As far as actual teaching goes I have found that patience and persistence is the key, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES you make mistakes or get something wrong. What matters is that you continue to get up and try again; if you do that you will conquer any topic.
