ASVAB prep: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering asvab prep
You help students prepare for the military aptitude test, with math, word knowledge, science and mechanical review and timed practice. Your sessions work best when you start with a timed practice test and fix the section with the biggest loss first.
What customers ask
- Can you guarantee a score for a job?
- Do you teach the mechanical section?
- How many practice tests will we do?
- Do you work with adults?
- What should I bring?
- How long until the test?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the student's age, the test date, the job they want if known and any past practice scores, then say what the diagnostic will show
- Run a timed practice test in the first session and share the section results with the student and parent
- Teach each section with a method for its question types, and show it on a real question
- Put the number of sessions, length, practice test count, materials and cancellation terms in the quote
- Review each wrong answer with the student and note the reason for it
- Send a short note after each session with the section covered and the next practice test date
What to put on your profile
- Your academic background and any test prep training you have
- The sections and levels you prepare students for
- Whether you tutor in person, online or both
- Results you can share with permission, without promising future results
- Your background check, shown on your profile, if you work with minors
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A practice test schedule for the next four weeks
- A mechanical and electronics session for a section the test showed
- A vocabulary and comprehension session for students who need more reading practice
- A check-in after the real test to plan next steps
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to tutor for a military aptitude test privately. Keep your teaching credentials on your profile, complete a background check if you work with minors, and check with your state or local licensing agency for any rules that apply if you offer test prep through a school or program.
Questions
Do I need a background check to tutor a teen for the ASVAB?
Yes, many parents and programs require one before you work with minors. Keep your check on your profile so families can see it before the first session.
How do I handle a student who wants to skip the reading practice?
Show them how the vocabulary and comprehension sections affect the scores in several areas. Practice one short passage together, then let them see how the same skills help in the math word problems.
