I will be tutoring mainly graduate test prep, particularly the GMAT, but I can tutor any college subject materials as well (mainly in Math, Statistics, and any business subjects). I have had a successful career outside of tutoring as well so if you are aspiring to work in business after college and want to know about things like how to break into a certain career path then I can be...

...appreciate and respect math because of the precision, creativity, and attention to detail that it demands (and hopefully you will, too!). Geometry and Algebra are arguably the most strategy-oriented fields, and thus they are my favorite to explore. Tutoring should be engaging and dare I say enjoyable. Beyond the problem sets and test reviews, my task is to help you become a better and more creative thinker. The brain is a lot like a muscle;...

...believe the most important thing when tutoring students is demonstrating that they can conquer the subject material at hand.

Not surprisingly, I have always considered tutoring and education among the most noble of professions where both parties,...

And I've been developing materials for several publishers of math textbooks and...

...me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share...
