About
I'm the only GMAT specialist on Thumbtack. Most who say they do GMAT actually tutor the SAT or ACT 90% of the time and there is a big difference. I do the GMAT all day, every day. My head is a repository of GMAT problems and I can fire them at you on the spot during our sessions. Contact me for a free sample lesson so I can demonstrate how effective my proprietary approach is. Like any other big decision, you shouldn't make the decision until you've tested me out. There really is no one else doing what I’m doing so you should give it a no-risk shot. Also, while others charge less per hour, I package it so you will require far fewer hours to get the job done so it comes out cheaper. Either way it is a serious investment you are making in yourself and your future so you should want to get the best result possible- this isn’t the place to cut corners. I have a unique, structured approach to the material wherein I change your thought process to make you a smarter test taker. We go through each type of problem and I question you through it and teach you how to think about it more clearly. You'll find GMAT/GRE questions becoming easier and easier. For more about my process, check out my website. I'd love to offer a free sample so I can demonstrate how my approach is unlike any one else's. I love helping people beat this test and get the score they deserve. Getting a rockstar score on these exams can open doors, and I love building a personal relationship with students and helping them excel at this very important and frustrating stage of their career development. I’ve tutored over 600 clients and every year I have clients gain acceptance to all top 5 MBA programs.

I am so glad I found Dan. I’d been struggling to improve and had tried several other major test prep companies. Dan had a different approach- he walked me through all of the content and taught me how to do every type of problem and I’m so pleased to say I improved 120 points after being stagnant for almost a year! I beat my target score by 20 points! Thanks Dan

I can't say enough about how amazing it was working with Dan to improve my GMAT score! I studied through a large prep company at the beginning of my GMAT journey and although the course gave me a good foundation, I was not seeing the results I needed and was stuck in the low 600s on exams. After working with Dan for only a week I began to see results and am so glad I kept studying with him! His approach was effective and efficient, he provided me with great tips and tricks for learning content as well as for planning my overall exam strategy, strategies I would have had no way of knowing on my own or with a larger GMAT prep course. The strategic homework sets he assigned helped me improve my skills in between our sessions, and he was always willing to meet for ad hoc homework help mini sessions. Dan was professional and committed to our sessions, and always followed up before my practice and real exams to make sure I was feeling ready. There is no way I would have broken 700 had it not been for Dan, and now I feel confident applying to schools with a 710 score, over a 100 point jump from my first GMAT score! I can't recommend Dan enough and would suggest anyone struggling with conventional studying and larger exam prep classes, or just someone looking to get their best score, to try out his tutoring services, you and your score will not regret it! Thank you Dan, well worth the time and financial investment!!

First the facts: Dan delivers results. I came to Dan having just scored a 670 on my diagnostic with the big day 6 weeks away. I was hoping to raise my score by 50 points. With Dan's help I was able to add 80 points in 6 weeks and score a 750. I can't ever recall money so well spent. Dan was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the material is supreme, and he has organized piles of practice problems by subject matter across a host of resources to truly maximize your study experience. Studying with Dan moved from being a chore to something I looked forward to. He has such an amicable personality and I really did enjoy discussing the nuances of each problem or skill and that certainly helped to boost my confidence and grasp of the material. Getting together with Dan was easy. He is extremely flexible, even connecting with me via Skype for a few sessions when I was out of town. If you're looking for scoring results, and an investment that will give you mental peace of mind Dan is the man for you. I'm looking forward to sharing a drink with him to celebrate our joint success and hard work. Thanks, Dan.

By the time I found Dan on Thumbtack, I had been working on the GMAT for 1.5 years. I had taken a prep course and used a tutor from the prep course and couldn't improve my practice or official scores beyond the 600-640 range. Further I felt like I had wasted money and time learning "how to approach" the exam instead of learning the content needed to be proficient and able to beat it. Dan was extraordinarily patient and understanding of my frustrations and desire to achieve a 700+ score. From the start, we went back to the basics and corrected several bad habits and dug into content gaps I had in both the quant and verbal sections. Dan was incredibly flexible with hours and locations and made himself available on short notice when I had a few scheduling conflicts and urgent questions. Most importantly, Dan took a personalized approach to our tutoring sessions. He commiserated with me in moments of discouragement and cheered me on when I felt like quitting. I unequivocally recommend Dan to anyone who has tried and failed at the GMAT and is looking at a final short or attempt. He is worth his rate and adds value in more ways than I could have ever received from the prep course and their tutors.

Dan was a pleasure to work with and helped me get my score where it needed to be in a short amount of time. In less then two months, I was able to move from a 660 to a 720. He was flexible in the curriculum and adjusted it based on my strengths and weaknesses. His approaches to some of the tougher problems helped me to break them down in a simple way. I felt prepared to tackle almost any problem thrown my way with this methods. I definitely recommend Dan and thought he was a valuable asset in getting my score up.
