GRE Test Prep Coaches

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 am a current Harvard Business School student who received admissions to 4 top-rated MBA programs and received $450k+ in merit-based scholarships. I took the GRE and would be thrilled to share the strategies I learned to nail the test. I support applicants across the Verbal, Quantitative, and Writing sections of the test with tried and true methods. Together, we can generate a game plan, work through time management, designate your problem strategies, and master practice sets.

Note: Due to high demand, I do not offer free intro calls or discounted sessions. Thank you for understanding. I didn't just walk in and get a perfect score. My first score was in the 50th percentile. I studied my way to 99th percentile, so it's definitely possible. I have a 99th percentile score on the GMAT, GRE, and SAT, and have taught for Manhattan Prep, Kaplan, and Target Test Prep. I don't just teach the content. I teach how to think. I have a Masters in Education from Harvard and have written a book on the mental approach to standardized tests.

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'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.

As a former SAT/ACT Tutor with Prep For Success, I designed personalized lesson plans that significantly improved students' test scores and college readiness.

Let's connect and create a tailored plan to achieve your GRE goals!

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.
