Alex’s GRE Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Scored a 167 on the GRE

150+ people coached for GRE

The GRE is fast becoming one of the most elastic postgraduate exams out there. After scoring in the 99th percentile to gain admission to Claremont Graduate University for an Econ PhD, I decided to share my knowledge and techniques with my tutees. This includes my reading comprehension strategy, vocabulary tricks, approaches to the toughest combinatorics problems, as well as baseline test-taking strategy. Over the course of working with over 150 clients on this test, which is now accepted as a substitute for the LSAT by many top Law Schools, I have honed in on the key strategies that can improve anyone's experience with, and score on, this grueling test. My clients have improved as writers, and as critical thinkers,

About Alex

I've been in love with standardized tests since I saw my first Scantron! I scored in the 95th percentile in high school and was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania. I studied Economics there. I also studied in London, at the LSE, and in LA, at LMU and USC, from where I where I hold my Economics Master's. Economics is the subject I teach most besides the 1000s of test prep clients I've tutored over the past 10 years, at my own shop, and with two LA boutiques, plus the mainstay Kaplan. I've mastered the ACT and SAT, as well as the GRE and the LSAT.

Why do I coach?

Whether you call it coaching or mentoring or even tutoring, the master-acolyte relationship is central to my life. I treat many of my personal relationships that way, using them as opportunities to become smarter and richer. I look to my parents as coaches, as well as former employers or bosses and friends as mentors. With the wealth of experience, 1000s of clients, 1000000s of hours, I will be able to instill the confidence that you seek while challenging you in order to reach your goal.
