The Goal: My having the knowledge and skills necessary for scoring 800 on the GMAT does others no good unless I can help them to acquire similar knowledge and to develop similar skills. So, while my old game was playing the GMAT, my new game is seeing how high I can get others to score, and I love playing and winning that game too.
The Method: Learn and review concepts as necessary. Develop skill in applying those concepts to answering GMAT questions by using an iterative approach involving analyzing and answering practice questions and taking practice tests, and then analyzing performance and adjusting and refining methods used.
Also, we use psychology, meditation and every other method available to optimize mindset, habits and patterns.
In other words, I work with people to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to achieve their target GMAT Scores.
In addition to working face to face in sessions, I support them bigtime via email, via text and sometimes in late night phone calls from places all over the world.
If learning more concepts or strategies is not enough to drive a person’s score up, we figure out what’s going on, and what it’s going to take to get that score to right where the person wants it to be, whether that’s getting more sleep, dealing with a mental block, or significantly changing a person’s conception of what he or she is capable of.
The Coach: I have been teaching, tutoring and coaching since sometime last century. In addition to coaching people to help them attain higher GMAT scores, I have tutored students preparing for the SAT, trained hedge fund team members, and taught in inner city schools.
In addition to coaching GMAT aspirants, I have created and edited instructional content and practice questions for two test prep companies, work that involved in depth analysis of over 1000 official GMAT questions to develop detailed understanding of how the questions work and how answering them is best approached.
I am currently the lead content creator and editor for the Target Test Prep GMAT Verbal Course, the most comprehensive GMAT verbal self-study course available.
Education: Received Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Economics from Vanderbilt University and attained the CFA designation.
