Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I specialize in test preparation for graduate-level entrance exams such as the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT, and I've spent the last ten years helping students achieve their score and admissions goals.

I am currently a PhD candidate completing my doctorate at Yale University in the Medieval Studies department. During my advanced studies, I have gained insights and expertise as a teacher while tutoring students for the LSAT, GMAT, and GRE.

Over the past decade, I have developed an innovative approach of my own. I recognize that each student is different and that no single method is best for all test-takers. Come test day, the most successful students will be those who have found ways to combine their own native strengths with an additional complement of time-tested techniques learned through rigorous study.

I also specialize in "rehabilitative tutoring", helping people who've been at a particular test for months, even years, and seen no serious improvement. I can help you find that block that's keeping you stuck and help undo the mental habits that you've acquired through your fruitless study and show you how to develop the new habits that will actually reward your effort.

I sincerely enjoy helping students find the approach that will allow them to confidently meet their future educational goals.

Literature

I have taught college-level literature courses in American and World Literature at Yale, the University of Connecticut, the University of Georgia, and Wesleyan College.

LSAT

I have tutored students for the LSAT for over a decade, eight of those years spent at Kaplan Test Prep, the last two out on my own with my own business name, Ivory Tower Tutoring. My students have seen jumps in score of 10, 20, and even 30 points. I've also worked in content development and review for Barron's Educational Publishing.

GRE

-Over a decade of experience teaching and tutoring students preparing for the GRE
-Content development work for a major national test prep company
-Experience grading GRE-style standardized essays
-Personal experience taking the GRE: as a grad student myself (Yale Medieval Studies PhD candidate), I've been there!

GED

--I am fully versed in all of the basic topics covered on the GED, from Geometry to Home Economics and on down to citizenship.
--I've have masters degrees from the University of Georgia, the University of Glasgow, and most recently Yale University, where I am currently a PhD candidate.
--I have taught remedial classes in math and writing on the college level and to high school students.
--Many of my clients are "non-traditional students," and I am especially sensitive to the needs... Read More

GMAT

--Over a decade of experience teaching and tutoring the GMAT
--Written content for several major test prep companies
--Currently the lead author on Barron's soon-to-be published revision of their GMAT Prep Guide.

Religion

I have a master's degree in Medieval Studies (an M. Phil) from the University of Glasgow and two such degrees from Yale University (an M.A. and an M. Phil). While at Yale, several of my classes were conducted in the divinity school. It's virtually impossible to study the medieval period without knowing a firm grounding in Judaism, Christianity and Islam alike, and I've both excelled in my medieval studies and taught classes on the same to undergraduates at the University of Georgia, Wesleyan College,...

Public Speaking

While attending the University of Georgia, I was a member of the Demosthenian Literary Society, an organization whose raison d'etre and chief activity at meetings each Thursday night is "the cultivation of correct mode of speaking." In high school and at university I was an active member of the NDT policy debate teams, and at Georgia I both coached and was a member of the team that defeated debaters from the Oxford Student Union in UGA's first ever showcase debate against that storied institution...

Logic

I have an undergraduate degree in Philosophy from the University of Georgia, and as a graduate student at the University of Connecticut I taught writing courses described in the course catalog as "Composition: Rhetoric and Logic". I've also been tutoring students to take the LSAT, a highly logic-driven test, for over a decade now.

Social Studies

Social studies is a bit of a broad subject area (even though high schools do use the term), but I have experience teaching several of its component parts on the university level: history, sociology, and philosophy, at the University of Georgia, Yale University, and Wesleyan College. Moreover, as a PhD candidate in medieval studies, my education has, by necessity, been quite interdisciplinary; medieval studies is perhaps the most widely-ranging subject area in academia. In order to do it well (and... Read More
