I recently received my PhD in English, and am currently teaching at a local community college. I have been fortunate, however, to have always made teaching my career. Whether it was adjunct level work while writing my dissertation, or my several years experience as a NYC public school teacher, I have always been passionate about my work. Knowledge is power, and the key to knowledge is to developing the critical thinking skills that translate to all areas of learning.... [more]
My GRE score, near perfect, was in the 99th percentile for both verbal and quantitative. This is largely due to my extremely simple and effective practice methods, which I teach to all of my students. I have helped many students get into the schools of their dreams. I've helped countless clients (in the hundreds) raise their LSAT scores and get into the law schools of their dreams (Ivy Leagues, T14, you name it). My method is all about simplifying the LSAT, and many of my students improve by 3-5 points after just 1 lesson. During our first lesson, I'll give you a customized study schedule so [more]

I understand the student whose approach requires assistance; I have walked in your shoes and found the ways out of the miasma of confusion that... [more]
I obtained a perfect score on the GRE Quantitative section and I know firsthand the doors that can open as a result from a good GRE score. The admissions officers at Columbia strongly implied that the reason I was accepted to their Data Science program was my exemplary GRE score. I have been tutoring the GRE Quantitative section for over a year and have helped students get grades as high as 168 out of 170; good enough to get into Harvard Business School for the student I helped! Because of my experience and expertise, I am confident that I can provide the very best instruction available anywhe [more]

I've been tutoring and teaching since I started college in the late 90s. I've taught test prep courses, I've taught corporate training courses, and, as a university professor, I've taught both graduate and undergraduate students writing, management, and cultural studies courses.
