Jordan

Adult Literacy Tutor • +38 Subjects

Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

American Literature Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a third-year law student at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and will be working as at attorney at a large corporate law firm when I graduate. I completed my undergraduate degree at NYU, double majoring in journalism and dramatic literature.I am passionate about education, specifically reading and writing, and believe my enthusiasm, organization and professionalism would make me an asset to your company.In law school, I was selected by a professor to be a teaching assistant for a Legal Writing course for 16 first-year students. I attended weekly classes, often providing input and co-teaching several classes. I also held weekly office hours, where I met with students individually and in small groups to help with their assignments, including working on their writing style and structure. In addition, I reviewed and edited students’ assignments, providing individualized feedback and advice.As a Constitutional Law teaching assistant, I co-taught weekly review sessions of over 75 students, where I explained and reviewed course material. I reviewed practice problems, coached students on proper study and reading strategies, and answered questions. I quickly learned best practices to keep all of the students engaged and focused, encouraging student participation and leading class discussions.I also volunteered with iMentor, providing one-on-one support to two high school freshman through online communication and in-person meetings. I provided structure and motivation, helping my mentees plan their future college and career goals, as well as study strategies and day-to-day organization. Working closely with my two mentees, I determined their individual communication and learning styles, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, and used this knowledge to tailor our sessions to best meet their needs.Finally, in high school, I tutored elementary school students in math and reading comprehension, helping with homework and assignment organization. I understand that every student has different academic, emotional and social needs and I am confident in my ability to help each student reach his or her potential.

ACT English Tutor • +15 Subjects

My goal as a tutor is not just to help students learn new material, but also to help them understand how to learn, study, and teach themselves things that they are having trouble with. This is something I struggled with throughout my academic career, and only through years of practice was I able to figure out new tricks and methods for teaching myself new material. I want to save this time and effort for all my students so that they can get to learning. I received a BA in Economics from Northwestern University, and just graduated in June 2016, and will tutor for Economics, the SAT, and the ACT. My interests outside of schooling include basketball and psychology!

Frequently Asked Questions

Fire Lieutenant Exam candidates typically find the reading comprehension and interpretation sections most challenging, especially when analyzing fire codes, safety regulations, and incident reports under time pressure. Many also struggle with the mechanical reasoning and spatial relations questions, which require visualizing equipment layouts and understanding hydraulic systems. Additionally, the situational judgment and leadership scenario questions demand quick decision-making about personnel management and emergency response priorities—skills that differ significantly from firefighter-level exams and require targeted practice.

Most candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of structured preparation, dedicating 5-7 hours per week to build competency across all sections. However, your timeline depends on your background: firefighters with strong operational knowledge may focus more on written communication and management scenarios (4-6 weeks), while those newer to supervisory concepts benefit from longer preparation. A tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a personalized schedule that prioritizes your weakest areas, whether that's mechanical reasoning, reading comprehension, or leadership decision-making.

The exam typically includes multiple-choice questions covering reading comprehension (interpreting policies and reports), mechanical/spatial reasoning (equipment and building layouts), and situational judgment scenarios (leadership decisions). Each format requires different strategies: reading comprehension demands careful attention to detail and code-specific vocabulary; mechanical questions benefit from visualization practice and understanding basic fire service equipment; scenario questions need you to weigh safety, legality, and personnel considerations simultaneously. A tutor experienced with Fire Lieutenant Exams can walk you through sample questions from each type and teach you to recognize patterns in what examiners are testing.

Time management on the Fire Lieutenant Exam is critical—you typically have 2-3 hours to complete 80-100 questions, which means roughly 1.5-2 minutes per question. The key is practicing with full-length timed tests to identify which question types slow you down (often reading comprehension and scenario analysis). A tutor can teach you to quickly identify question patterns, skip difficult questions strategically, and return to them if time allows, while ensuring you don't rush through mechanical reasoning questions where a second glance often clarifies the correct answer. Building speed comes from repeated exposure to the exact exam format, not rushing through practice problems.

Mechanical reasoning questions test your understanding of fire service equipment, hydraulic systems, pulley systems, and spatial relationships—concepts that may feel abstract if you haven't worked extensively with this equipment. These questions often require you to visualize how components interact in 3D space, which is a skill that improves dramatically with targeted practice and explanation. A tutor can break down the underlying physics principles (leverage, pressure, force distribution) and teach you to approach each diagram systematically, rather than relying on intuition. Many candidates see significant improvement after 3-4 weeks of focused mechanical reasoning practice with guided feedback.

These questions present realistic fire service situations—personnel conflicts, resource allocation, safety dilemmas—and ask you to choose the best response. Success requires understanding both fire service regulations and sound leadership principles: prioritizing safety, following chain of command, documenting decisions, and considering legal liability. The trap is choosing the emotionally satisfying answer rather than the professionally correct one. A tutor can teach you to identify what the question is actually testing (Is this about policy compliance? Personnel management? Safety protocol?), evaluate each option against fire service standards, and recognize common wrong-answer patterns that test makers use. Practice with real scenario examples and feedback is essential to building confidence.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level. Candidates who begin tutoring with a baseline score often see 10-20 point improvements (on a typical 100-point scale) within 6-8 weeks of focused preparation, particularly in reading comprehension and mechanical reasoning where targeted strategies make the biggest difference. Those starting with weaker foundational knowledge may see larger gains but need longer preparation. The most significant improvements come from identifying your specific weak areas early, practicing full-length exams to track progress, and adjusting your study focus based on results—all things a tutor can help you systematize.

An effective Fire Lieutenant Exam tutor should have deep familiarity with the specific exam format, question types, and content areas tested—not just general test prep experience. They should understand fire service operations, codes, and leadership principles well enough to explain why certain answers are correct, not just which ones are. Strong tutors excel at diagnosing your specific weak areas through practice tests, teaching test-taking strategies tailored to each question type, and building your confidence through repeated exposure to realistic exam scenarios. Look for tutors who use actual exam materials, track your progress systematically, and adjust their approach based on what's working for you.
