What do you love about teaching?
Having taught the GMAT and LSAT each for over 10 years and each in several cities, what keeps me coming back for more is that opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life. There’s nothing greater than getting a random email from a student years later who has accomplished several goals since grad school and who just wants to say thanks again. These high-stakes entrance tests can be such a daunting challenge, but there’s so much awaiting students on the other side that I love to be involved in helping them vault over that hurdle and reap the rewards.

What subject did you struggle with the most in school and how did you overcome it?
In grade school, "Handwriting" kept me from straight A's many times is that even still a grade on the report card anywhere? Later my most challenging subject was German, largely due to a disability of sorts at understanding accents. Since then, years of marriage to a Brazilian immigrant and dozens of international students and friends have helped me become much better at this.
 
If you weren’t teaching the GMAT, What would you be teaching instead?
I once turned down the chance to be a small college basketball player to seek a more academic path, and as my love for both sports and strategy have persisted I have a fantasy in which I am a great basketball coach. Like Gene Hackman in "Hoosiers" great.
