Alex’s MBA Qualifications
Coaches professionally
I've coached three clients to MBA success. First, a Marine. I improved his reading comprehension and apprehension with geometry and probability. Second, I improved the client's self-concept. His narrative was perfect. I also mentored him through a mentor at Georgetown University. Now, he is in his first year there, in Business School, ready to command-and-conquer. My second client was a New Yorker who dreamed of going Columbia Business to level up as a manager. His middling GRE score reflected despair; I brought hope. Together through rigorous review and practice we helped him earn a 94th percentile. Using his new writing skills, he crafted a masterful narrative. Now he is at Columbia Business Alum and rockin' it in the corporate space (a la Industry). Next was the client from West Virginia. It was a family affair. I tutored the sister to improve her vocabulary and outlining techniques; I tutored the brother in crafting a convincing narrative. He is now in his second year at Harvard Business. I am also in a network of MBAs. Most of my cohort from Penn 11 either has an MBA or a JDBMA or both. Indeed my closest friend locally, in politics, is at USC Marshall, and I've helped him through his Econometrics and Statistics classes throughout - gratis (thank you for your service). Vets always free with me.

About Alex
I was trained as an economist; however, after a year of tutoring, I opted out of pursuing a PhD at Claremont Graduate University. The transmission of knowledge to the next generation in a limpid, digestible manner became paramount to me over the course of 8+ years of teaching and tutoring students of all ages and learning persuasions. Whatever your academic dream may be, I know I can help.
Why do I coach?
I've had three mentors who have coached me: Jose, at UCLA, in the foreign exchange market; Bill, at the MOT, in historiography; and Julie, at Kaplan, in customer service. Without their input, guidance and unwavering challenge, I would not have the character that I have today. I have synthesized their methods and approaches to mentoring and put them into action with all my clients, inculcating systemic approaches, disciplined thinking, conscientiousness and courtesy, and endurance.
