GMAT Prep

I have tutored the GMAT full time for the past nine years and have tutored the GMAT, GRE, and LSAT on and off for approximately 25 years. I scored a 760 on the GMAT and primarily tutor Quant and Data Insights, as well as Critical Reasoning. I have developed a structured GMAT curriculum using an extensive collection of GMAT Club links to official GMAT questions from nearly every Official Guide and GMAT Quantitative Review going back to 2015. I organize the questions by topic and approximate difficulty, allowing me to tailor each student's curriculum to his or her particular strengths and weaknesses and progress systematically from foundational concepts to more challenging official problems. I also bring significant academic and graduate admissions experience to my tutoring. I earned a JD/MBA from Northwestern University in 2010, an MA in Political Science from Stanford University in 2001, and a BA in Public Policy from Duke University in 1996. I also provide MBA admissions guidance to students upon request. My approach emphasizes understanding the reasoning behind GMAT problems rather than memorizing tricks or formulas. I particularly enjoy identifying why a student is struggling with a particular question type and developing an individualized strategy that produces lasting improvement.

I scored in the 100th percentile on the GMAT FE this summer. Having recently gone through the GMAT preparation process, I’m deeply familiar with the current exam, official materials, and the major prep resources available to students. Most recently, I helped a student improve from 615 to 715 in less than a month. My approach is highly individualized: I assess each student’s current abilities, prior mocks and error patterns, goals, and timeline, then build a targeted study plan around the areas with the greatest potential for improvement. I keep my student roster limited so I can prepare for each session individually and provide meaningful support between sessions.

I have been tutoring GMAT Verbal for 10 years and have very clear and precise strategies that have helped dozens of students achieve their goals. As a lover of language, a teacher of English, and a writer myself, I have the skills to integrate all things verbal with the necessary standardized test taking methods.

The GMAT is a tough hill to climb. We have to keep in mind that it's a "reasoning" test, not a skill and knowledge test. We have to take a different approach to studying for the GMAT and figure out how to make use of the information. The biggest part is the math, which asks you to pattern match a number of math properties to the question being asked. I have recent actual test questions available to work from. I have a deep understanding of the test — not just the content, but how the adaptive format works and what each section is really asking of you. More importantly, I understand that your time is valuable. The last thing you need is a cookie-cutter prep program that spends hours on material you have already mastered. Most of my students study approximately 4 hours per week and complete their preparation in 3–4 months, typically within 15-20 sessions. 75% of the effort is focused on math. If you can master math, then data insights will be easy. That is why the first thing I do is identify your strengths and weaknesses. Every student is different, so I tailor my teaching to how you think and where you need the most improvement. My approach focuses on teaching the reasoning process behind each question — how to think through Quantitative, Verbal, and Data Insights problems methodically — rather than simply drilling practice sets and reviewing answers.I provide all the preparatory materials you need, including questions from recent tests. No busywork, no generic lesson plans — just focused, personalized coaching that respects your time and delivers results.

I am a top ranked GMAT Focus tutor, having successfully tutored 200+ students from all around the world. I have an excellent track record with clients scoring 700+ (GMAT Focus 655+), and I do so by equipping you with a toolkit that allows you to categorize any question and deploy the proper methodology to dealing with it swiftly and accurately. I am also an admission consultant and have worked with 150+ students to earn them admission into top MBAs, Masters in Management, and Masters in Finance programs at schools such as London Business School, INSEAD, Harvard, Columbia, Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago, HEC, Bocconi, and so many more. I'm looking forward to joining you on your GMAT and business school journeys.

I've been preparing students for the GMAT Focus for over 10 years. I've worked with 400+ students, achieving a median score of 665 (equivalent to ~720 on the old GMAT, 94th percentile) with improvements of up to 400 points. All students who completed the full admissions journey were accepted into their target business school, including M7 programs (Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, Booth, Kellogg, MIT Sloan) and top European schools (LBS, INSEAD, HEC Paris, Bocconi, IE, IESE, Cambridge, Oxford). I hold an MBA from SDA Bocconi and Columbia Business School, a degree in mechanical engineering from Politecnico di Milano and the University of Illinois, and I have experience as a university teaching assistant. I also prepare for the Executive Assessment (EA), the SDA Bocconi Executive MBA admission test, GRE, IELTS, and TOEFL. Lessons cover all sections of the GMAT Focus: Quantitative, Verbal, and Data Insights. I teach you to think under pressure, manage your time, and spot the patterns the test uses against you — because that's what the GMAT actually measures, not just how much math or English you know. We work with a hands-on approach on everything it takes to score competitively for top business schools: techniques to optimize your pacing, strategies for every question type, and realistic exam simulations. The other key area we focus on, and that almost no one addresses, is the psychological side. Test anxiety and freezing up on a tough question are real — and they cost you far more points than a formula you think you've forgotten.
