GMAT Tutors, Events, and Resources

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!

I achieved a 760 GMAT the first time I took the test. My strong suits are Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Writing.

Seasoned GMAT Instructor with 7 years of experience tutoring people across 27 countries. I scored a 750 GMAT and joined the Full-time MBA program at UCLA Anderson School of Management in 2018. In 2019, I left the MBA program to pursue RacetheGMAT full-time. My teaching pedagogy involves an Adaptive-Skill Based Curriculum that sifts the GMAT into progressive modules with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Efficiency. I strive to make the learning process logical, elementary, and fun. My goal is to make you a better problem solver and critical thinker, equipping you with apt skills and pertinent psychology to do well not just on the GMAT but any situation that demands problem solving. The skills you will acquire through training with me will go far beyond the GMAT; they will make you an exceptional learner and an astute performer under pressure.

I scored a 755 (100th percentile) on the GMAT Focus Edition, with a V90, and tutor across all three sections, though I have the most experience with Verbal and DI. I like to think of the GMAT as a test of decision-making under time pressure, not raw intelligence. My emphasis is on question-solving strategies — how to read efficiently, eliminate decisively, and manage time without rushing or freezing. I’m very hands-on and adapt my approach to how you think, whether that means simplifying complex ideas, fixing timing issues, or helping you gain confidence where you’ve been second-guessing yourself.

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 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.

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.
