About Matt

I’ve been tutoring standardized tests for 25 years and have worked with hundreds of students preparing for the GMAT, GRE, LSAT, SAT, and ACT. For the past nine years, tutoring has been my full-time work, with a particular focus on GMAT Quant and Data Insights. I earned a 760 on the GMAT and went on to earn my JD/MBA from Northwestern University, including an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. I also hold a master’s degree in Political Science from Stanford University and a bachelor’s degree from Duke University. Before becoming a full-time tutor, I worked in financial services, strategy, and public policy, including roles at Bank of America, GE Capital, and the U.S. Senate. That background strongly influences the way I teach. I approach the GMAT as a test of analytical reasoning and decision-making, not simply a collection of formulas and rules to memorize. My approach is highly individualized. I help students identify the specific concepts and question types holding them back, develop more efficient ways to solve problems, and build a study plan around their goals, timeline, and strengths and weaknesses. Over the years, I’ve also developed an extensive library of carefully organized official GMAT problems that allows me to target practice by topic and difficulty rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Most importantly, I want my students to understand why an approach works. My goal is not simply to help you answer the problem in front of you, but to teach you how to recognize the underlying structure of a problem so that you can apply the same reasoning when you encounter something new on test day.
