I'm a full-time, professional GMAT Focus and GRE tutor with over 12 years of full-time tutoring experience. I've logged over 8,000 hours tutoring those subjects. My students have been accepted at top graduate schools including Anderson School of Business at UCLA, Booth School of Business at University of Chicago, Columbia Business School, Haas School of Business at U.C. Berkeley, Harvard Business School, Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, London Business School, Marshall School of Business at USC, McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stern School of Business at New York University, Tuck School of Business Dartmouth, University of Oxford, and The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

I use proprietary database software and practice questions from official guides and major schools to teach the strategies students need to learn in order to do well on their exams. To identify their weak areas and focus on them more deeply, I employ data analysis to track my students’ performance on the application of the strategies and principles required to do well on the exam.

During the first lesson, I evaluate the student's proficiencies in the main categories and from then on uses materials that are likely to advance those proficiencies. I assign homework after each lesson, consisting of a review of the previous meeting, GMAT idiom or GRE vocabulary flashcards, new and previously missed questions, and a report of the strategies has missed multiple times.

I have received numerous positive reviews from past students, who have described me as a "phenomenal," "patient," “brilliant”, “awesome”, “effective”, “organized”, “thorough”, “amazing” and "knowledgeable" tutor. My tutoring method has helped many students raise their scores and achieve their desired results.

I earned degrees in Architecture and Business at the University of California at Berkeley.

I have tutored GMAT and EA prep more than 8,000 hours on the Wyzant platform over the past 12 years and I am able to explain difficult-to-master material in an understandable way that is clear and concise. I teach strategies that enable my students to avoid the impediments that have prevented them from answering exam questions correctly. We discuss when and how to use these strategies to most efficiently answer each step of each question that the student answers incorrectly. I track my students’ performance on the application of the strategies and principles they need to master so that we can identify their weak areas on focus on them more deeply. After each lesson, I provide homework consisting of (1) explanations we discussed, (2) flashcards of all idioms that appear in homework sentence correction questions, (3) questions not previously answered, (4) homework questions missed previously, and (5) flashcards of all the underlying strategies and explanations we have discussed. Missed homework questions are discussed in the next lesson, after which they continue to go back into the homework until the students can correctly answer them at home.

Excellent gmat tutor!

I found William after signing up for a very popular rated Gmat class and did not do well in the exam. William has been a game changer on my study and I went up on my score considerably. He has his own exercises which are so helpful for practice he patiently explains hard concepts and tailors the lessons to my specific needs. I’m very grateful for his expertise and support and would highly recommend him

GRE practice session

William is a very helpful and patient tutor! It’s been a great experience working with him while preparing for the GRE. I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for this exam.

Experienced and Knowledgable

William tutored me for the GMAT over the course of little over 2 months. His lesson structure and practical approach enabled me to rapidly identify and deal with gaps in my knowledge and skill set, while challenging me using questions set at an appropriate level of difficulty to help raise my skill level. I ended up scoring a 770 (99th percentile score) out of 800 on an August 2022 GMAT. I highly recommend his work - especially for those who are looking for advanced assistance and advice to take your score to the next level, which few (if any) GMAT prep courses are equipped to do half as well as William can!

Amazing and Well organized

He has a very detailed and specific plan for his sessions. He’s a great tutor. I felt very comfortable in our first session.

Professional. Encouraging. All-Around Excellent

I worked with William for 3 months to help me improve my GRE math score -- not only did I hit my target score, but William gave me the foundational knowledge and confidence to know that I was tackling my weaknesses in the right way. He's an excellent communicator who cares about his students, and I'm very lucky to have found him. After re-taking the GRE, I ended up being accepted into my top-choice graduate program; I attribute a lot of my success to him.

Knowledgeable and Experienced Tutor

William is a terrific GMAT tutor. After a couple of months of work together, he helped me raise my score by 70 points and achieve my goal of scoring in the 700s, which I am absolutely positive I could not have done on my own. In particular, my quant score jumped up significantly, which is quite important for b-school applications. We spent our lessons quite effectively, focusing mainly on the material with very little chit chat. Outside of lessons, William assigned homework on his proprietary website that adjusts the material and content tested in real time based off of our lessons. Besides focusing on the quant and verbal sections, William was also able to provide essay and IR prep where needed. Throughout my time with William, I took GMAT official practice exams to test my progress, and with each test, my scores would increase, proving the success of the program. I would definitely recommend William for someone looking to get right down to business and achieve great results (with hard work put in as well). Thanks for everything, William!

Excellent Tutor

William has a strong, data-driven system for teaching and reinforcing the underlying principles required to be successful on the Executive Assessment. My target score was 150, and I got a 153. I highly recommend William.

Ryan, 13 lessons with William

Excellent GMAT/Executive Assessment Tutor

William was a terrific tutor in all subject matters for the GMAT/Executive Assessment - particularly in the quant sections. I had not reviewed any of the material in close to a decade and William was able to get me back up to speed very quickly. He is calm mannered and does a great job of explaining concept comments. Additionally, he is extremely responsive with questions on homework. William would be a terrific choice as a tutor.

Daniel, 14 lessons with William

Really exceeded my expectations

William helped me increase my GRE scores by 10 points in about 1.5 months. He is so knowledgable and is always willing to answer any questions you want to go over. He has a customized plan to help you achieve your goals and his homework sets truly make you work for your scores. Would recommend to anyone looking to increase their scores on the GRE.
