I offer individual lessons as well as lessons for groups up to four people at one-third the rate for individual lessons. Individuals can attend group lessons regardless of whether they personally know the other students. I offer lessons for advance groups as well as for regular groups.

I have tutored GMAT prep more than 5,000 hours on the Wyzant platform over the past nine years and I am able to explain difficult-to-master material in an understandable way that is clear and concise. That requires an unusual combination of exceptional information management skills and effective communication skills developed through 25 years managing large, complex processes to deliver superior results.

Many of my students have taken a course from one of these exam prep companies only to score slightly better than before. I have demonstrated over and over that I can move their scores significantly above what they previously achieved. Unlike the test prep companies that don’t monitor their students’ progress and performance individually, I keep track of my students’ responses to every question they answer, both during the class and in their homework and I use that information to evaluate whether a student is keeping up with the group so that I can address shortcomings where the exist.

I focus on principles and procedures that enable my students to avoid the impediments that have prevented them from answering exam questions correctly. We discuss when and how to use these principles and procedures to most efficiently answer each step of each question that the student answers incorrectly.

After each lesson, I provide homework consisting of (1) explanations we discussed, (2) flashcards of all idioms that appear in homework sentence correction questions, (3) questions not previously answered, (4) homework questions missed previously, and (5) flashcards of all the underlying principles and explanations we have discussed. Missed homework questions are discussed in the next lesson, after which they continue to go back into the home

Berkeley Business Grad Offering Group and Individual GMAT Lessons I offer group rates at $35/hour and individual rates at $100/hour. The group rate is charged for only the time spent on questions that a student needed help with, so the actual group rate for most students in a group is significantly less than the full rate. The individual rate is charged in five-minute increments so that a student in a group can obtain additional help in short meetings that cover only the issues raised by the student. I conduct 90-minute Quantitative groups on Tuesdays at 5:00 pm Pacific Time and Saturdays at 9:30 am Pacific Time. 90-minute Verbal groups are conducted Thursdays at 5 pm and Saturdays at noon Pacific time. The Saturday groups are for advanced students.

All reviews patient prepared helpful extremely helpful good fit

Understanding and Organized!

He quickly understood my goals and provided an organized way for me to get there. He was also very helpful with presenting information to me in a way I understood it and made an effort to make sure I was comfortable with the material. Really awesome tutor!

Madison, 3 lessons with William

Very methodical, helpful and patient tutor

William did an assessment of my skills to get some data on areas I might need more help in. From there, we worked on problems based on my skill level so my accuracy could improve. He was great at explaining questions I did not get right, and would pause to ensure I understood the concepts. Overall, I've enjoyed working with William and can tell I am retaining some of the concepts we've gone over in our sessions.

Knowledgable and Patient - Quickly diagnosed some of my weaknesses

This was my first session with William, but I appreciate how he was able to quickly diagnose my Quant weaknesses and assign offline homework to improve my skills in those areas. Looking forward to second session.

Patient Tutor with Exceptional Organized Plan of Study for Students

William is extremely patient as he understands I really need to go back to the basics. I chose William not only because of his reviews and experience, but that it sounded like he had a very organized plan for his students. He has a great program that he works with you on that adapts to your knowledge.

Thorough and structured

I’m using William for the GRE. Very organized and thorough tutor. Places you on a tailored / structured program based on your weaknesses. Patient and clear. I’m looking forward to learning more.

Patient and experienced tutor

I recently tutored with William for my GMAT and was stuck around the 650 range. With a little over a month's work I was able to crack 700 with his guidance. William is a very patient tutor and will do his best to cater to his students. He’s also very experienced and easy to talk to. To be honest, I was very skeptical in my ability to crack 700 up to the very last second of seeing the score on my screen. He believed that I had the ability even when I had my doubts. Haha I am by all means a very slow paced test taker. I need time to do my problems and understand. William helped me realize a lot of my mistakes were because I was trying to do the problems too quickly, making mistakes. I ended up slowing my pace down to make sure I got the questions in the first half of the test right, which I think helped bring up my score a lot. William has his own website and program he created with which you will use should you decide to tutor with him. This program is extremely useful and was one of the reasons I chose him over other tutors. The programs consists of a large question bank of OG questions with explanations for each! Yep, amazing. His program is very nifty for review and practice especially if you aren’t very organized. It also keeps an error log of your incorrect answers and you will be prompted to answer the questions again after a certain period of time. It’s basically a self-built study guide for you catered to you. Highly recommend. Thank you, William!

Intuitive and Clear Tutor

I worked with William for nearly six months on GMAT prep. As a background, I have never excelled at standardized test-taking and was a shoo-in for a sub-600 score on a good day. Through his explanation of key principles and knowledge of the GMAT strategy necessary to achieve a high score, I raised my score (from practice exams to the real thing) by 180 points! He is remarkably patient and willing to accommodate bookings around hectic work schedules. He outlined a timeline of when it would be most important to devote extra study-time to be ready for test day. He is the piece-of-mind I never had on my undergraduate standardized exams, but the guide from whom I benefitted tremendously on the GMAT. The value of his instruction cannot be overstated! Have him be your tutor and beat the GMAT.

Very knowledgeable and helpful

He is a great tutor! He goes the extra mile to make sure you understand the material and to answer any questions. I definitely recommend William if you are looking for a tutor!

Patient tutor

We went over some quant math and some basic tools and techniques. He is very patient. He has an online system to track your progress and trouble areas. Looking forward to the next lesson and learning more tricks.
