GRE Tutors, Events, and Resources

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.

I raised my GRE score from a 315 to a 335+ in four weeks while working full-time — no tutor, no prep course. I figured out which strategies actually move the needle and which study methods are a waste of time, and I've since helped over 10 people do the same. If you're short on time and need to make every study session count, that's exactly where I can help. I don't believe in grinding through thousands of practice problems without a plan. I'll help you diagnose where your points are hiding, build a focused study schedule that fits around your life, and learn the test-taking strategies that got me from average to 99th percentile in under a month. I also coach on MBA admissions, so if the GRE is part of a bigger application game plan, we can make sure your prep timeline and target score fit your overall strategy.

It often happens that one's natural habits/practices form the strongest basis for excellence in a certain area -- a good reason for why none of my friends batted an eyelash when they heard I had begun training students in the GRE. Essentially the only books I ever read are the classics of Victorian age European and American literature, whose heightened word choices provide me with a unique appreciation/understanding for the vocabulary questions of the GRE (now a full 1/2 of the verbal questions!). But that's not all. I've had the privilege of training students in the GRE for around a decade, and am highly versed in the reading comprehension, logic, and quantitative questions. Perhaps that's why more than 60% of the students I take on are able to crank up their cumulative score by 12 points or more. Not only that, but 93% of my GRE students end up with thick envelopes -- the ones containing acceptance letters -- mailed to them by their first and second choices of grad school.

I am a CPA and currently a Tax Manager at a Big 4 accounting firm. I’m on Leland because I know what it’s like to come from a "quiet," highly technical background and wonder if you can break into a top-tier MBA program. I used the GRE as my primary tool to prove my quantitative rigor, scoring a 332 total with a perfect 170 on the Quant section. That score was the anchor of my applications and helped me secure Full-Ride Scholarships to both Chicago Booth and Northwestern Kellogg, as well as admission and scholarship offers from MIT Sloan, Columbia (CBS), Yale SOM, Duke Fuqua, Dartmouth Tuck, and NYU Stern. My coaching style is built for the busy professional. Having balanced 60+ hour work weeks while studying. I focus on the specific logic and efficiency needed to hit a 170 Quant without burning out. Whether you are a fellow Big 4 professional looking to pivot into a new industry or a candidate from a niche technical field, I can help you master the GRE and position your profile for the same level of scholarship success I achieved.
