Matt’s GRE Qualifications
Scored a 339 on the GRE
10+ people coached for GRE
Clients preparing for the GRE are generally motivated and ready to work hard to attain their desired score. Where I come in as a coach is not only with subject matter knowledge, but the ability to help you focus your preparation and make the best use of your time. I'll also teach you strategies specific to the test—the way questions are worded and the way passages are structured can often give you important clues once you know what to look for. Furthermore, I have many years of experience as a classroom teacher and tutor, especially in math. I am able to draw on those other experiences to help GRE students by suggesting other resources to shore up particular areas that need work. Many of my GRE students have strengthened their mathematical problem-solving ability by going outside the bounds of GRE prep books; they were then able to apply these skills to the actual GRE.

Hiring Coordinator
Private Prep
August 2015 - June 2018
I became Private Prep's Hiring Director during a time of change for the company: it was in the process of expanding to other metropolitan areas. It quickly became apparent that I would not be able to personally interview all potential incoming tutors, as my predecessors in the role had done. So, I built a team of interviewers out of some of our best tutors. I also strengthened our interview protocols, including for test-prep tutors, who form the backbone of Private Prep's workforce.
