About Lyndon


Bio

Exceptional academic results come from mastering strong fundamentals, not expensive prep packages. I hold degrees from Yale, Wharton, and Tufts (3.97 master's GPA), with my education funded by competitive scholarships covering 45% to 90%+ of tuition. I personally scored a 2310 on the SAT using borrowed books and no internet, and repeatedly scored a perfect 170/170 on the GRE Verbal (and 5.5/6 AWA). I know exactly what it takes to master high-stakes exams and advanced academic writing.

Exceptional academic results come from mastering strong fundamentals, not expensive prep packages. I hold degrees from Yale, Wharton, and Tufts (3.97 master's GPA), with my education funded by competitive scholarships covering 45% to 90%+ of tuition. I personally scored a 2310 on the SAT using borrowed books and no internet, and repeatedly scored a perfect 170/170 on the GRE Verbal (and 5.5/6 AWA). I know exactly what it takes to master high-stakes exams and advanced academic writing.

Over the past 10 years, I have tutored over 20 students one-on-one and in groups. I work with high schoolers aiming for top-tier universities, as well as university students and young professionals. I specialize in rigorous SAT/GRE prep (Verbal/AWA) and advanced academic writing, including thesis, dissertation, and essay optimization. My instruction is entirely personalized to each student's unique pacing and score goals.

I reject the approach of mindlessly drilling questions until burnout. Instead, I teach the underlying logic and patterns behind test questions so students can confidently handle unfamiliar material on exam day. By guiding students to dissect their own errors, I ensure the understanding sticks. I equip students with the exact frameworks I used to achieve perfect scores, giving them the tools and confidence to unlock their full academic potential.

Approved Subjects

Career Development

Career Development

As a Wharton MBA with experience at two of the largest global consulting firms and a top-25 AmLaw law firm, I've developed a deep understanding of what it takes to thrive across high-performance professional environments. I've channeled that experience into mentoring graduate students at Wharton, IE Business School, and Tufts' Fletcher School on navigating early career decisions, building professional skills, and positioning themselves for long-term growth. My coaching draws on practical, field-tested frameworks applicable across consulting, business, and policy — helping candidates not just land the role, but hit the ground running once they do.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I hold a Political Science BA from Yale and a Master's in International Affairs from Tufts — both rigorous, writing-intensive programs — and scored in the 98th percentile on the writing sections of both the SAT and GRE. My work has been published in the Harvard Kennedy School student policy journal and the Tufts Climate Policy Lab journal, and I completed a master's thesis that met the highest academic standards. I've also tutored over 10 undergraduate and graduate students in essay writing, helping them strengthen their argumentation, structure, and clarity across a range of disciplines and formats.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a Wharton MBA, I've successfully interviewed for roles at two of the largest global consulting firms and a top-25 AmLaw law firm, giving me firsthand insight into what it takes to land top offers. I've put that experience to work coaching candidates as an interview prep mentor in graduate consulting clubs at Wharton, IE Business School, and Tufts' Fletcher School. My coaching relies on proven, repeatable frameworks for behavioral and case interviews that apply across consulting, business, and policy careers.
