About Bryan

I teach two things: how to tell your story, and how to think. On the admissions side, I help applicants find the narrative that connects everything — career decisions, personal experiences, goals — into one coherent, compelling story that is unmistakably yours. No templates, no cookie-cutter essays, no agency writing it for you. I help you uncover what makes your candidacy not just impressive, but inevitable. If your background has a lot of moving pieces — international experience, career pivots, technical roles, startups, non-obvious transitions — that is exactly where I do my best work. On the test prep side, I teach you how to reason through problems, not memorize answers. Every student gets a personalized plan built around their specific strengths and weaknesses. No busywork, no generic problem sets, no hours wasted on things you already know. Most of my students are test-ready in about two months. Efficiency matters to me. Your time is valuable, and I respect it. Whether we are working on essays or exam prep, every session is designed to move you forward with zero wasted effort. My background shaped how I coach. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania (M&T Program) and earned my MBA at MIT Sloan. My career has spanned M&A, venture capital, startup operations, and corporate development across the U.S. and China. I have spent years helping companies and people make sense of complexity — how to position themselves, how to tell a credible story, and how to turn scattered experience into a clear direction. That is exactly what I now do for my clients. I have coached 50 MBA applicants targeting top 10 programs over the past 12 years. I scored a 770 on the GMAT, 330+ on the GRE (four times), 1600 on the SAT, and 35 on the ACT. I know these tests, and I know how to get you where you need to be — quickly.
