Hello! Having applied and been accepted into multiple graduated programs (MBA from Kellogg School of Management and MSc from the London School of Economics), I bring a wealth of knowledge and strategic insight to GRE preparation. I've taken the test multiple times and have firsthand experience seeing how one's score can increase with thoughtful, intentional, and dedicated preparation. Across 4 times I've taken the GRE, I've averaged a score of 330+ and have scored a 169 on verbal section (99th percentile) and 170 on the quant section (perfect score). I've also consistently scored 5s on the writing section if that is an area of focus. In preparing for my exams, I used many different resources (paid and unpaid) to polish and ameliorate the areas that needed improvement. I like to think that I have taken the best parts, processes, and methods from those programs to be the best GRE tutor I can be for you. I know how important the standardized test is to any individual's application and am confident that with the right preparation, anyone can boost their score to get into their dream program.Let's connect and create a personalized plan to help you succeed!

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!
