About Michele
I am an academic tutor and test prep coach with a track record of scoring in the very top percentiles on standardized tests: GMAT 755 (99.9th percentile) and SAT 1570 (99.7th percentile), built on a perfect academic record at Bocconi (110/110 cum laude, GPA 30/30) and current MiM studies at HEC Paris. I specialize in helping SAT and GMAT candidates aiming for 95th+ percentile scores design efficient, data‑driven study plans, master time‑management, and use rigorous error‑analysis to consistently eliminate weaknesses in both quantitative and verbal sections. On the career side, I complement this academic focus with hands‑on investment banking experience in London, having held IB Summer Analyst roles at Goldman Sachs (incoming), Bank of America (Natural Resources & FIG, with a full‑time return offer), and BNP Paribas (Energy, Resources & Infrastructure), where I worked on multi‑billion‑euro M&A, public offers, and project finance transactions. This allows me to guide students not only through tests, but also through the full IB recruiting cycle: CV and cover letter refinement, networking strategy, technical and behavioral interview prep, and offer decision support. My approach is direct and structured: I prioritize clear frameworks, tailored drills, and concrete feedback over generic tips, and I adapt the strategy to both strong and weaker math backgrounds. Beyond academics and banking, I have co‑founded a B2C edtech startup (selected into Bocconi’s B4i pre‑acceleration program) and a clothing brand scaled from a €300 investment to €10,000 in sales, so I particularly enjoy working with ambitious, entrepreneurial students who want to compound their academic excellence into top offers and long‑term career upside.
Why do I coach?
I feel like everybody deserves to be put in the best conditions to succeed in their endeavours, and lack of industry knowledge or test scores should not be a barrier to anyone.
