GRE Tutors

Having worked as a mentor / coach for the Global Governance Initiative throughout my consulting career and applied to top graduate degrees myself, I understand what it takes to hit your target score. Despite having a very limited quant background, I got a perfect score on my first try on the Verbal Reasoning section (170) and a high enough Quantitative Reasoning score (162) to get me interviews at Yale, Harvard, and Berkeley.

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.

The only way to do well on the GMAT and the GRE is to understand the material and to know how to answer the questions. Cheats and guessing strategies don’t work, and you can’t “beat” or “outsmart” the tests. I am a Certified Teacher who has taught the material that appears on these tests in school. MY APPROACH IS TO TEACH YOU THE CONCEPTS AND SKILLS YOU NEED TO ANSWER THE TEST QUESTIONS CORRECTLY. I scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT and the SAT, and I have a thorough understanding of the tests. I am a writer, with excellent language skills. As a Certified Teacher, I have 20-plus years’ experience as a teacher, tutor, test prep coach, and business trainer. I am a former teacher of high school math – exactly the math that appears on the tests – and of English grammar and writing. I am a trained and certified teacher. I have a Bachelor of Education degree and Adult Education training. I also have an MBA and have worked on Wall St as a Vice President at a major financial institution, as well as in several other business and management positions.

Welcome to my profile! With a Master of Finance from MIT and a strong background in quantitative research, I bring a unique perspective to GRE preparation. My experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at MIT has honed my ability to break down complex concepts, making them accessible and understandable. I've worked at top firms like Goldman Sachs and a high-frequency trading firm, where analytical precision is key—skills that translate directly into helping you excel in the GRE's quantitative section. Whether you're aiming to boost your score or need targeted strategies, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and create a personalized plan to achieve your GRE goals!

Between the actual exams, tryout exams for jobs, and personal diagnostic exams, I have never scored below 99th-percentile on the LSAT, GMAT, nor GRE. I started in the industry in 2002 with Kaplan, and founded my own company in 2005. I was one of Veritas's (acquired by Varsity Tutors as their elite program) first instructors and a go-to instructor for most of their existence, teaching literally coast-to-coast until moving off of their grid in 2017. Career highlights include successfully writing and then teaching my own LSAT course, teaching over a dozen GMAT classes at Booth School of Business at University of Chicago, and tutoring around Silicon Valley at locations such as the Google campus, Stanford, and the San Francisco Financial District. In short, I've taught and tutored thousands of students within the elite model used by Veritas, Manhattan, and others, in which the highest-scoring instructors teach in small classrooms and focus on higher-end analytic aspects of the exam. I wrote my own LSAT course, and I contributed to the highly-regarded Veritas course and books. My students have gone on to attend the best law and business schools in the world. Most important, I love teaching and Leland gives me the opportunity to fill my schedule helping students like you!

I scored a perfect 170/170 on the GRE Quantitative section last fall, after there were major changes made to the exam. I have a very strong mathematical background, graduating with dual degrees in Economics and Mathematics. I have taken graduate level math courses in probability theory, combinatorics, algebra, and more. I know the ins and outs of the GRE Quantitative section and can help anyone increase their mathematical skills to improve their score on the GRE. My GRE score helped me land a research position at Stanford Graduate School of Business where I began working in Summer 2024.

Clients preparing for the GRE are generally motivated and ready to work hard to attain their desired score. Where I come in as a coach is not only with subject matter knowledge, but the ability to help you focus your preparation and make the best use of your time. I'll also teach you strategies specific to the test—the way questions are worded and the way passages are structured can often give you important clues once you know what to look for. Furthermore, I have many years of experience as a classroom teacher and tutor, especially in math. I am able to draw on those other experiences to help GRE students by suggesting other resources to shore up particular areas that need work. Many of my GRE students have strengthened their mathematical problem-solving ability by going outside the bounds of GRE prep books; they were then able to apply these skills to the actual GRE.

I had a lot of test anxiety building up to the GRE exam date. As such, I knew I needed extra help to not only learn the test but to be mentally prepared for it. I developed a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes that helped me perform beyond my target score. I am excited to share these unique and non-traditional tips and tricks with you.

Welcome to my profile! I scored in the top 95% of results on the GRE and can share the tricks I learned with the test to improve your GRE target score.
