For the last 20+ years (10 for GRE) I have had the honor of helping over a thousand students catapult their GMAT/GRE 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 GRE 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 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 GRE journey - your success is my success!

I graduated in three years from the University of Miami with a Bachelors degree in the fields of Environmental Science and Economics. After 6 years of experience and over 100 students coached, with many receiving score increases greater than 100 points on the SAT and ACT, I decided to pursue GRE preparation. I am confidently able to solve the hardest questions given in the math and verbal sections of the GRE, and I am confident that I can help you on your journey. I also worked for a test prep company where I gained valuable skills and insights into guaranteeing score increases with all the students I worked with. I have a proven step by step system to raise your score. It starts with learning the key concepts that are tested and then applying these concepts in real test questions from tests. I am passionate, patient, and empathetic, and I believe that every student has their own academic talents that are revealed when provided the right environment and mentor.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by GRE? Do you find yourself understanding concepts in theory but struggling to apply them under time pressure? Or perhaps you get stuck between speed and accuracy, never quite feeling confident about your approach? I’ve asked myself all of these same questions. As someone who did not grow up with standardized tests and is not a native English speaker, I know firsthand how frustrating and intimidating this process can be. I’ve lived through these pain points, worked through them, and developed a clear, structured way of thinking that helped me turn confusion into consistency. Currently an MBA at INSEAD with experience at Boston Consulting Group and the United Nations, I am uniquely positioned to help you not just improve your test scores, but also build confidence, clarity, and a smarter approach to problem-solving. I understand both the technical and emotional side of this journey, and I’m committed to helping you succeed.

Since I became a full-time tutor in 2015, test prep has become the area where most of my tutoring hours come from. Over time, I've become proficient in prepping students for the SAT, ACT, GRE, GED, and ASVAB. Of the more than 30 students I have worked with on GRE prep, all of them needed help with the Quantitative Reasoning section. However, I have also helped students with the Verbal and Analytical Reasoning sections. In addition to building up students' fundamentals, I teach the test-taking skills necessary to get the score they're looking for. The GRE is unlike a "normal" test one might see in college, so having an expert guide is essential. I'm proud to say that all the students I've worked with have been accepted into graduate school, and multiple students are now working on their doctorates.

I've earned a perfect 170 on the GRE Verbal section twice in the past 6 months, and I'm excited to help others reach that same level of mastery. I've worked with high-quality tutors myself, and I bring the best of those methods - combined with my own deep understanding of the test - to every session. Professionally, I'm a Georgetown graduate and strategy consultant at BCG. I've mentored over 300 students in the past across a range of disciplines, and am now focused on GRE Verbal tutoring to fund my own grad school ambitions and offer a rare skillset at below-market rates. I work well with students at all levels, but specialize in helping students break through to the 165+ range. My approach focuses on time management, precision with vocabulary, and an evidence-based strategy for reading comprehension. Whether you're struggling to get started, confused by trap answer choices, or aiming for that perfect score, I can help you build the skillset and mindset to get you there.
