I have been helping people prepare for standardized tests like the GRE for over 15 years. I am an experienced teacher with a Master's in Education from Stanford University, and I was trained as a GRE tutor by one of the major test preparation companies. When I took the GRE in 2008, I got perfect scores on the quantitative and writing sections and scored in the 99th percentile (750/800) on the verbal section. I'd love to help you with the newer, shorter version of the test! In our first session, we will discuss your strengths and knowledge gaps, then I will curate a personalized curriculum that focuses on your specific needs. Each session, we will strengthen your fundamental understanding of a topic and then apply that understanding to a tailored set of practice questions. I will also provide you with "homework" so that you can reinforce your understanding of the material on your own time. I respect your time and resources -- I want to help you achieve your target score as efficiently as possible. In addition to being an experienced coach, I am a molecular biologist and bioinformatician with a passion for education and illustration. I am all-but-dissertation in the PhD program in Animal Biology from the University of California, Davis, and a Bachelor's in Human Biology from Stanford University. I have worked as a research assistant in a lab that studies viruses, a biology instructor at a community college, and an informal science educator at a museum and zoo. I live in Seattle with my two dogs, who are the center of my world. I look forward to getting to know you!

I’ve been helping clients achieve their GRE goal scores since 2015, when I was hired by Manhattan Prep, an elite test prep company that required a 99th-percentile GRE score, over forty hours of rigorous training, and multiple professional assessments before I could even teach my first class. Although I’d already been teaching and tutoring for years, Manhattan Prep is where I truly began to master the challenging and joyful craft of teaching. I’ve since taught the GRE to hundreds of students, many of whom have gone on to top-tier graduate and MBA programs, including Dartmouth, UPenn, Stanford, UVA, and Harvard. I’ve trained dozens of other elite GRE instructors and have planned and run three professional development conferences for GMAT, GRE, and LSAT instructors from around the world. I’ve helped to write TOEFL and GRE books and curricula and have built an interactive online GRE course. I’ve also co-written and performed in a GRE vocabulary YouTube series with over 1 million views. If you'd like to learn more about me and my teaching style, I write a weekly newsletter: substack.com/@gretarot. I also offer donation-based drop-in Q&A sessions twice a month; these are listed on my LinkedIn profile.

I graduated in three years from the University of Miami with a Bachelors degree in the fields of Environmental Science and Economics. After 6 years of experience and over 100 students coached, with many receiving score increases greater than 100 points on the SAT and ACT, I decided to pursue GRE preparation. I am confidently able to solve the hardest questions given in the math and verbal sections of the GRE, and I am confident that I can help you on your journey. I also worked for a test prep company where I gained valuable skills and insights into guaranteeing score increases with all the students I worked with. I have a proven step by step system to raise your score. It starts with learning the key concepts that are tested and then applying these concepts in real test questions from tests. I am passionate, patient, and empathetic, and I believe that every student has their own academic talents that are revealed when provided the right environment and mentor.

Having worked as a mentor / coach for the Global Governance Initiative throughout my consulting career and applied to top graduate degrees myself, I understand what it takes to hit your target score. Despite having a very limited quant background, I got a perfect score on my first try on the Verbal Reasoning section (170) and a high enough Quantitative Reasoning score (162) to get me interviews at Yale, Harvard, and Berkeley.

Having worked as a mentor / coach throughout my career and applied to top graduate degrees myself, I understand what it takes to hit your target score. Despite having a very limited quant background (I was a literature major!), I got a high enough score (168 Verbal, 167 Quant) to get accepted into every program I applied to!
