Test Preparation is one of my top subjects! I have prepared high school students (Proficiency Prep. at Patterson Co-op HS and for Darden Educational Consulting Services) for Ohio's graduation examinations since the state's implementation of the Ohio Proficiency Test in 1990, which was enforced with the graduating class of 1994. I have also taught O.G.T. preparation (an "upgraded / replacement O.P.T.") since its inception in 2005. My specialty areas are in O.G.T. Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Math.
I also tutor students in "B.C." Math for the ASVAB (militay entry) and Accuplacer (college entry) tests. I've nicknamed it "B.C. Math", which stands for "Before Calculator", because beginning with the 6th grade O.A.A. exams, and continuing through the O.G.T. (in Ohio), a calculator IS permitted for use on the entire Math portion (the GED is 1/2 & 1/2)! As a result, when these young adults go to take the ASVAB or Accuplacer tests, where NO calculator is allowed, they fail the math section (NO formula sheet is provided with the ASVAB, either), or, per the Accuplacer, must use their time and money to take as many as three developmental math classes before they can begin the courses the need to graduate. These recent high school graduates (or soon to be) have forgotten the basic rules of estimation, decimals, fractions, double digit multiplying (the X tables, period), all division, etc... That's where I can help! : )

Please contact me if you have one or more subjects to pass, especially if you earned all of your high school credits, but this test is keeping you from receiving YOUR diploma!! I say "I'm back" because, unfortunately, I was unable to answer emails from folks on this site these last few months due to a lapse in my paid subscription (life happens). I have 24 successful years of experience teaching and tutoring. My area of expertise is in preparing students for a variety of state/national required tests. My degree is in education, with a reading comprehension specialty certification. I taught Proficiency Test Prep (the "old" OGT) at Patterson Co-op High School from 1990-1998, GED Prep at the MonDay Correctional Institution from 1999- 2001, implemented and coordinated an extremely SUCCESSFUL GED pr ... read more
