Best AFOQT Math Tutor on Wyzant

Preparing for timed tests requires a different skill set. I teach students to use mental math, logic, and common sense to improve their time management. I explain math problems in ways students can understand. I show them how to deconstruct words to expand their word knowledge and how to recognize verbal analogies. I never talk down to students. I offer them words of encouragement to boost their confidence. I am a great listener and able to tailor my approach to your specific needs. Students...

Best AFOQT Math Tutor on Wyzant
Before I started with Michael I felt totally lost math wise. I'd already taken the AFOQT once and knew I needed to do something different this next time around to raise my quantitative score. I'm so grateful that I found Michael because he has taught me so much. I love that every problem we do, Michael will go through and show me a few different ways to do the same problem. This is incredibly important, because in some cases, his methods of approaching a problem can shave seconds or even a minute off doing a problem. Additionally, Michael is very supportive and doesn't move on until you say that you understand the problem. He does an amazing job making sure that you can apply what you are learning to possible test questions and are prepared for what material may be on the AFOQT.
Isabel, 10 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:Thank you, Isabel, for such effusive praise. I am so glad that you are finding our lessons to be productive and helpful. It is apparent that you already have a solid foundation in mathematics. Hopefully, the strategies that we have been discussing will help you to attain your goals.
Great Tutor
Been out of study for quite a while and needed to place back into higher math through an ALEKS test. Michael set me up with a practice test and helped me review some of the concepts I've failed to grasp.

Amazing AFOQT Tutor!
After failing the AFOQT quantitative section twice, I was now on my last attempt before being forbidden to take the test any more times. I was rusty at math and hadn't taken a single math class since high school which was 12 years ago. I reached out to Michael and I must say that these teachings were spot on and invaluable to my success on the third attempt at the AFOQT. My score went from 3 to 42! I could not have done it without Michael and if you're struggling with math or any other subject, Michael is the man to get you over that hump.
Roy, 6 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:Thanks, Roy! I was so delighted to learn that you had not only passed your AFOQT, but did so with flying colors. This great news made the rest of my week. I truly wish you the best of luck in your military career!
Excellent Tutor!
I have had great tutoring sessions with Michael. I'm studying for the AFOQT and need help refreshing my memory with math arithmetic. Mike does an excellent job with providing me with math study questions similar to the math problems on the AFOQT and he walks me through the correct way to complete the math problems. Mike makes things a lot easier.and he knows how to simplify things that seem very complex, which makes him a excellent Tutor.
Michael, 3 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:I greatly appreciate your feedback, Michael. The math on the AFOQT is not overly difficult. The key is to understand how to solve the problems quickly, given the strict time constraints. That is what I show students during each tutoring session.
Knowledgeable and experienced tutorials
Another great session, I would recommend Michael to anyone who is interested in putting in the work! He understands what needs to be done.
Donald, 5 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:Thank you for your comments. I am a firm believer in the adage that hard work is its own reward.
AFOQT score went way up!
I have always struggled with Math. I took the AFOQT 20 years removed from any formal math study and failed miserably. After weekly tutor sessions with Michael, my score went up more than 30 Points! He made sure my fundamentals were where they needed to be and showed me many test taking strategies that helped considerably. Highly recommend!
Ryan, 8 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:Even though you were far removed from your last math class, Ryan, it didn't show during our lessons. Like with many students, my impression was that you simply needed some test-taking strategies and a confidence boost. I had every confidence that you could pass the AFOQT Quantitative section, and you did more than just that. Thanks for the review, and congratulations on your test results!
Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Michael walked me through any questions I had. He let me make mistakes and then showed me how to improve my technique moving forward. I used the study session to get my studying on track for the AFOQT, which this lesson gave me confidence that I will improve my scores substantially.
Jonah, 1 lesson with MichaelTutor responded:Thank you, Jonah. I certainly hope that what we have discussed has improved your confidence and will boost your AFOQT test scores.
Awesome tutor
Micheal was very patient and helpful. My score improved by 18 points after a few sessions. I have not taken any math classes in over 5 years and Micheal made it a lot less stressful to prepare for the math test.
Quint, 6 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:It was a pleasure working with you, Quint. I was so happy to learn that you were able to increase your ACCUPLACER score. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Knowledgeable and experienced tutor
I was looking for someone who understood the military but also understood what was required to get a better score on the ASVAB. My son enjoyed the way Michael explained things and even scored ten points higher on his next practice test. I would recommend Michael to anyone who is interested in putting in the work!
Donald, 5 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:Thank you, sir, for the favorable review. I am glad that Kaden was able to increase his confidence and improve his test score.
Patient and thorough tutor.
Michael is always willing to go into more detail if i’m unsure about any information. He always shows me different ways to solve problems, and opens my mind to thinking outside the box. He’s been a huge help in me preparing for my TEAs!
Kara, 5 lessons with MichaelTutor responded:Thank you, Kara. I believe in showing different ways to solve problems, because students will often ask, "What is the best way to solve this?" The truth is that there is not one way that is best for all. What might be easier for some people might not be for others. The best way to solve a problem is the way that makes most sense to you, as long as it is logically sound. That is why I am flexible in my tutoring methods.
