I have tutored students for the GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT and LSAT for more than 15 years. I love it! As I tailor my instructions toward the unique needs of each student, my goal is to improve not only the student's performance but also the student's confidence as test day approaches.

I specialize in high-level GMAT diagnostic and execution coaching for stalled high-achievers. I don't just teach content; I identify the execution, timing, and decision-making patterns preventing score improvement and build customized strategies to break through plateaus under time pressure. After years of coaching GMAT students across a wide range of score levels, I've found that many advanced students underperform not because they lack ability, but because they approach questions inefficientlytreating each problem like a new puzzle instead of recognizing recurring execution patterns quickly and systematically. I earned my MBA from Georgetown University and worked as a former Sony engineer, bringing a data-driven and strategic mindset to every session. With 100+ five-star reviews, I've guided GMAT students to break barriersnot just raising scores, but shifting their confidence and thinking. As a result, many of my students have earned admission to elite MBA programs, including UCL
I am currently a PhD candidate completing my doctorate at Yale University in the Medieval Studies department and has previously obtained masters degrees in English Literature and Medieval Studies from Yale, The University of Georgia, and the University of Glasgow. An Atlanta native, I returned from New Haven to live and work in Georgia while I finish the final stages of his dissertation. Over the course of my studies, I have taught undergraduate literature and history as an instructor at Yale, the University of Georgia, Oxford University, the University of Glasgow, the University of Connecticut, and Wesleyan College (Macon, Georgia). At the same time, I have worked as a teacher and tutor for the LSAT, GMAT, and GRE for over thirteen years. I am one of two authors of the all-new revision of Barrons GMAT guide and Barrons Passkey to the GMAT, and have previously written content for Kaplan, Parliament Tutors, and Success Prep. Because of my lengthy experience, I am intimately familiar with the methods and principles used by the major test preparation companies and have developed a variety of methods of his own. I take a different approach from the major national test prep companies in that I recognize that each student is different and that no single method is best for all test-takers. Come test day, the most successful students will be those who have found ways to combine their own native strengths with an additional complement of of time-tested techniques learned through rigorous study. I enjoy helping my students find the approach that will allow them to meet confidently their future educational goals. I live in midtown Atlanta, near Emory, with my brother and a sulky, spoiled hound dog.
I enjoy helping students by explaining concepts in ways that make sense to them, by eliciting their feedback and tailoring my approach to their individual needs, and by conveying my enthusiasm for the learning process. It's great to see the light come on and to see their progress. I have an undergraduate degree in Politics from Princeton, a post-baccalaureate certificate in Quantitative Studies for Finance from Columbia, and an MBA from London Business School. I served as an officer in the Marine Corps and have worked in a number of academic and private-sector positions. I founded and am currently running an analytics-focused consulting practice.
I enjoy empowering students by making learning fun and believe that everyone has an "inner genius" that just takes the right technique to unlock. I bring a patient and friendly approach to teaching, specializing in the sciences, technology and math, and believe in teaching students to "learn for themselves".
I have always been driven to share my own passion for learning. While I was in high school, I tutored my peers after school. At college, I continued tutoring, but I also taught a class to middle-schoolers for a semester. Now, professionally, I teach seminars on Government and Politics. I went to Tulane University where I triple majored in Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, and Philosophy. I tutor STEM topics, government, and test prep. My philosophy of education is that everyone is unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a motivating environment where students are encouraged to take risks and strive for success. My teaching style is largely as a facilitator helping students overcome their obstacles.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with word problems involving rates, work, and mixtures—especially when multiple variables interact. Data sufficiency questions also trip up many test-takers because they require a different logical approach than problem-solving questions. Geometry (coordinate systems, 3D shapes) and probability/combinatorics round out the top pain points. A tutor can identify which specific topics are dragging down your score and build targeted strategies rather than reviewing everything.
The Quantitative section gives you 62 minutes for 31 questions—roughly 2 minutes per question. Many students waste time on hard problems early on, leaving them rushed at the end. A strong approach involves recognizing question difficulty quickly, solving easier questions first, and knowing when to make an educated guess and move on. A tutor can teach you how to spot trap answers, use elimination strategies on data sufficiency questions, and practice with realistic time pressure so you're not panicked on test day.
Data sufficiency questions don't ask you to solve for a specific answer—instead, you determine whether given statements provide enough information to answer the question. This requires a completely different mindset: you're testing logical sufficiency, not calculation. Many students make the mistake of actually solving the problem instead of just checking if it's solvable. Tutors help you master the unique logic framework, practice the five answer choices (A through E), and avoid common traps like assuming you need both statements when one alone is sufficient.
Word problems require translating English into equations, which is where most errors happen. The key is developing a consistent process: identify what you're solving for, define variables clearly, and write equations step-by-step rather than trying to do it all in your head. Common traps include misreading what the question actually asks, forgetting to account for units, or setting up the wrong relationship. A tutor can teach you how to annotate the problem, organize information visually, and check your setup before diving into calculations—this saves time and prevents careless mistakes.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort. Students who are weak on fundamentals (struggling below Q35) often see 5-10 point gains by filling knowledge gaps and building confidence. Mid-range students (Q40-45) typically improve 3-7 points by refining strategy and eliminating careless errors. High scorers (Q48+) need precision work on the hardest questions and mental stamina—gains here are often 2-3 points and require consistent practice. The timeline varies, but most students see measurable improvement within 4-8 weeks of focused tutoring combined with regular practice.
Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostic (identifying weak areas) and performance (building stamina and test-taking rhythm). Early on, take full practice tests untimed to see which topics need work—your tutor uses these results to create a focused study plan. As you improve, take timed sections and full tests to build pacing and endurance. After each test, review every question you missed or guessed on, not just the ones you got wrong. Your tutor can help you analyze patterns (Are you rushing? Misunderstanding question types? Lacking content knowledge?) so you're not just taking tests but learning from them.
Test anxiety on Quantitative often stems from either unfamiliar question formats or lack of confidence in your math skills. Tutoring addresses both by building genuine competence (so you trust your abilities) and exposing you to realistic test conditions repeatedly. When you've solved similar problems dozens of times under timed pressure, the actual test feels familiar rather than threatening. Tutors also teach mental strategies like recognizing when you're overthinking, using process-of-elimination confidently, and knowing it's okay to move on from a hard question. Consistent practice with a tutor transforms anxiety into familiarity.
Beyond strong math knowledge, an effective GMAT Quantitative tutor understands the test's unique logic and strategy—not just how to solve problems, but how GMAT constructs trick answers and tests reasoning under pressure. They should diagnose quickly where you're losing points (careless errors vs. conceptual gaps vs. pacing issues), adapt explanations to your learning style, and teach you to think like the test-maker. They also recognize that GMAT math is about efficiency and strategy, not just correctness. The best tutors combine content expertise with test-specific experience and the ability to build your confidence alongside your skills.
