I like the GMAT! I enjoy the challenge of GMAT puzzles and the satisfaction of developing effective skills to solve them. I've been helping students to improve their scores for 10 years, and have developed some creative ways for students to overcome the intellectual and emotional challenges of taking the test. I scored 780 on my most recent GMAT test. I started my teaching career in St. Petersburg, Russia, where I taught English to university students and business people. I've also taught Maths, Music, and Philosophy. I'm now back home in London, UK. I worked at Manhattan Prep for 7 years, where I taught group classes and individual tutoring students preparing for the GMAT and the Executive Assessment. I've given presentations and workshops at most of the London business schools, including LBS, Imperial, and Cass. I place particular attention to the mindset required to succeed on the GMAT, helping students to use their study time in the most efficient way possible.
