I'm a passionate teacher with over 20 years of test prep experience masterfully helping students world-wide achieve their GMAT/GRE and B-school dreams. During a 16-year tenure at Manhattan Prep, I served in a variety of different capacities: as Instructor Trainer, Head of Curriculum Development, and most importantly Instructor/Teacher. Over the course of my career, I have helped thousands of students get into the top B-school programs in the U.S. and around the world. My approach to GMAT/GRE instruction is a very personalized one. I work to help each student find the proper balance of content mastery, good process, and test strategy, in a manner that is best suited to his/her way of thinking, personal background, and timeline. Most importantly, I believe that it is my role as a teacher to inspire the intellectual curiosity and critical thinking skills that will help propel my students to success on these very tricky exams...and to do so in an environment in which we can laugh, smile and enjoy ourselves along the way! I am a 99th percentile scorer. GMAT: 780 GRE: 170Q/170V

For the last 25+ years I have had the honor of helping over a thousand students catapult their GMAT scores and get into the school of their dreams. My unique approach is to get inside the head of my students and teach them how to ask better questions when they attack a GMAT problem. This puts them in the correct headspace that they need in order to "see" what the question is asking, its nuances, its trickiness. My experience is that this also helps tremendously with test anxiety. I teach my students the best and fastest strategies for solving quant and DI questions and the ideal way to think on the verbal section. I also use carefully honed diagnostic tools to assess a student's specific areas of content weakness so that we can maximize the use of our time together. When there are content gaps, I help my students shore those up with uniquely memorable lessons and access to my library of content videos. I track my students' progress carefully with shared google documents, specific homework assignments, a review log, and flash cards. I am thrilled for the opportunity to be a part of your GMAT journey - your success is my success!
